Beomaster 2300 was the receiver heart of Beosystem 2300, released in 1983.

The unit was a superbly-engineered FM radio/amplifier and delivered 2 x 30 watts RMS stereo output. Its sleek design was not only beautiful, but was intelligent too. Instead of buttons, touch-sensitive dimples operated all primary functions and the user’s instructions were confirmed on the read-out panel.

Five favourite FM radio programmes could be pre-set on individual tuning dials and the phase-locked loop decoder ensured excellent stereo separation, even in difficult reception conditions. The volume level could be pre-set at low, medium or high; each time Beomaster 2300 was switched on the music always started at the selected setting, however the volume control, was left the last time the receiver was used.

There were connections for two pairs of loudspeakers, headphones, record deck and cassette deck. The slim cabinet was finished in a choice of teak or rosewood and measured 62cm wide x 6cm high(13,5cm with the lid raised) x 25cm deep.

No remote control was included with the System; Beomaster 2300 in fact, was a direct descendant of Beomaster 1900, right down to the ‘dimple’ sensi-touch controls on the set top.
