BeoSystem 4500

BeoSystem 4500 – A touch of magic

The simplicity of the exterior was matched by simplicity of operation. A light touch directly on the illuminated display gave immediate access to the system. Or, you could operate BeoSystem 4500 with the BeoLink 1000 terminal, summoning forth magical sounds from the comfort of your favourite chair.

BeoMaster 4500

The BeoMaster 4500 receiver received both FM and AM – and was your communication link to the other sound sources in the system. Its operation was simplicity itself with an illuminated menu presenting all the options available. 20 radio stations could be pre-set providing you with instant access together with automatic fine tuning.

BeoCord 4500

The BeoCord 4500 cassette recorder housed exciting details and distinguished technology. Like Auto Reverse, so you did not need to turn over the tape. Automatic registration of the type of tape, and Bang & Olufsen’s patented HX-PRO recording system that provided optimal sound reproduction.

BeoGram CD 4500

The sound reproduction achieved by Bang & Olufsen’s CD 4500 CD player was truly outstanding. It played both 12cm and 8cm compact discs and had an ingenious ‘step’ function which allowed you to go straight to a chose track selected from anywhere on the disc.

BeoGram 4500

In building the BeoGram 4500 turntable, Bang & Olufsen applied all its classic principles to ensure reproduction as close to perfection as possible. The electronically-controlled tangential arm played each record exactly as it was recorded. And there were built-in systems that helped prevent vibrations reaching the cartridge or turntable. BeoGram 4500 employed a finer, ultra-light MMC2 cartridge that combined distinguished sound reproduction with maximum protection for your records.

Designed by Jacob Jensen, Beosystem 4500 in 1989 received the Japanese Good Design Award for its elegant design

 

If you crave maximum audio-visual performance for your hard-earned cash, there’s only one route to take: go for separates. Buying separate audio and AV components means you cherry-pick the very best in each category. What’s more, beefier (with individual power supplies), selected components plus better screening against interference inevitably deliver a higher standard of baseline performance.

Alright, they usually take up more space, but separates-based audio and AV systems are much more interference-resilient and offer vastly more potential for future expansion – an important advantage in the fast-changing world of hi-fi, video and home cinema. The only real downer is that you have to sift through hundreds of components in order to find the gems but if its sound and performance you’re after, there’s only one way to go!
