BeoCenter 2300 DAB

Bang & Olufsen BeoCenter 2300 DAB

This special 2300 was produced in 500 examples for a test of DAB by Danish Radio.

Built on B&O’s 2300 platform, the 2300 DAB was modified with a Motorola Power PC 821 processor to control the special DAB-functions. The DAB receiver itself was placed in the accompanying “black-box” made by Bosch/Blaupunkt.

The radio can be used directly via the push buttons, or with help from a remote control unit, which is a modified computer made by Apple Newton NotePad.

A PCMCIA (PC Card) slot on the top left-hand side of the back casing was another difference from the ordinary 2300.

Mounting Options

This classic design was reincarnated over a 21 year period with various mounts and stands. Floor stands were available with a pole stand or CD and tape storage, wall mount solutions allowed for the Hi-Fi only, or with BeoLab2500 speakers until these were discontinued

BeoGram 4500

Bang & Olufsen 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.

Beogram 4500 could be used as part of the Beosystem 4500 hi-fi system, and – having an inbuilt RIAA pre-amplifier can be plugged straight into the AUX port of your modern B&O equipment and enjoyed with the minimum of fuss!
