BeoCord StereoMaster

Beocord Stereomaster was a reel-to-reel tape recorder which was novel for its time in that it had an Automatic Stop Function for if the tape should break during play. There were two variations – Type T was designed to be transportable; Type K was designed for a more static position.

The tape recorder is ready just to plug in as the connections have been built in the bottom of the furniture cabinet.

The new B&O Beocord Stereomaster Tape Recorder is the ideal recorder for the discriminating tape amateur. For the first time in the world you can have an amateur tape recorder with a built-in mixing panel for simultaneous mixing of three input signals.

Here, for the first time, is an all-transistor Hi-Fi tape recorder comprehensive professional specifications, including:

  • Synchronous motor of the Pabst type
  • Separate recording and playback heads
  • Recording quality may be checked at any time, either before recording (at the recording amplifier output) or after (at the tape monitoring amplifier output)
  • Equipped with two V. U. meters.
  • Three dual-input channels with slide-potentiometer adjustment.
  • Professional standards for speed, wow and flutter.”
