BeoVision 10-40

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 10-40

The BeoVision 10 is an incarnation of the BeoVision 5 design theme, finally done in the style originally conceived – a TV which emulates a picture in all dimensions – even thickness. The set is a mere 7 cm thick.

A 200Hz panel with edge type LED lighting offers superb clarity, with the advantages of VisionClear added to the mix.

The Beovision 10 – 40″ was the first model in the range of sets designed primarily for wall mounting. To this end, the sets are very slim with a frame design design to accentuate the slimness and lightness of the television.

Sound is provided for by the provision of a 5 way speaker system with twin channels having tweeters and midrange units and a shared bass unit. Special attention has been given to the sound with a tuned bass port provided in such a way that the depth of the television is maintained but that bass performance is up to Bang & Olufsen’s usual standards.

The set offers Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and a comprehensive sets of connections – 2 or 3 HDMI sockets (depending on type) are present and an internal digital connection is also present for the DVB-HD module, which is standard fit on all variants.

The customer merely has to decide which stand option is required, with either a slim 4mm wall mount which allows the set to be angled 45 degrees to either the left or right. Alternatively, a floor stand which is motorised for side to side motion is available with a manual vertical tilt possible.

Mounting Options
When launched, Bang & Olufsen produced a Motor Floor Stand and a simple Wall Bracket using the hinged device seen previously to position the rear of the TV close to the wall.

BeoSystem AV7000

Bang & Olufsen Beosystem AV7000

Beosystem AV 7000 was sold primarily in North America and was designed to work together with Beolink 1000. However, both the Beolink 5000 or the Beolink 7000 remote control terminals could be used but with minor restrictions:

” Neither the Beolink 5000 nor Beolink 7000 terminal is recommended for use with the AV7000 Control Centre and the audio/video products that are used with it. To use a function in your audio system that is only available with the Beolink 5000/7000 terminal, you must reprogram your audio system:

Press SOUND, 1, STORE on the Beolink 1000 Terminal

Then operate the function you wish to use in your audio system, using the Beolink 5000/7000 Terminal

Finally, press SOUND, 0, STORE on the Beolink 1000 Terminal to program your audio system back again for the correct setting for daily use in an AV7000 System

NOTE: If you have the sound from your Bang & Olufsen audio system extended to other rooms in the house (via a Bang & Olufsen Local Control System), a Beolink 5000 or 7000 Terminal may be used for audio operation in that room.”

The unit delivered Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound. The system comprised: Beosystem 7000, a Beovision MX6000 television and four active speakers. It was eventually phased out when Beosystem AV9000 was introduced.

BeoSystem 6000 Commander

Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 6000 Commander

This was B&O’s first remote control, predating the Beomaster 2400. Known affectionately as the brick, it was very necessary as setting up a quad system required to be sitting at the centre of the four speakers. It allowed control of the volume and Beomaster source though it was not able to control any device except the Beomaster. It used ultrasonic rather that infra red waves and needed to be aimed at the Beomaster.

Bang & Olufsen MMC20CL

The top of the range cartridge from B&O, this boasted a single crystal sapphire cantilever and a Contact Line stylus derived from the Pramanik stylus of the MMC6000.

This cartridge was well thought of by many outside the normal B&O user base and was favourably reviewed in many magazines. It achieved something not many B&O products ever managed – it was described as offering value for money!!

MMC20EN

Bang & Olufsen MMC20EN

The MMC20EN was the standard cartridge fitted to the top of the line Beogram 4002 and 4004.

It was a development of the very successful MMC4000 and retained the naked elliptical diamond stylus seen on that model. A fine tapered cantilever was also fitted and provided excellent performance.

This cartridge was in many ways the replacement for the MMC20EN as it had a tapered cantilever and naked elliptical stylus.

It was fitted as standard to the Beogram 6002.

The MMC3000 was the basic model in the all new range of cartridges.

It was designed for use with the lower end of the range such as the Beogram 1100 and Beocenter 1800 and 3600. It has a spherical diamond stylus.

This could be regarded as the standard cartridge in the range and was fitted to many decks as standard.

In many ways a replacement for the MMC20E, it offered good performance at a most reasonable price

The most basic of the range, this cartridge was available to be specified for those decks not fitted with a cartridge as standard such as the Beogram RX.

It could be differentiated by its cantilever which was a straight non tapered aluminium tube.
