BeoCord VHS82

Beocord VHS 82 was Bang & Olufsen’s 1987 addition to the stereo video cassette recorder line-up with up to four hours of video playing time and eight hours of hi-fi quality stereo sound on just one video tape!

In terms of design, colours and uses, Beocord VHS 82 was created to harmonise with Beovision MX2000. And the same remote control Video Terminal could be used to control both units. Control was so integrated that the TV screen acted as an open instruction manual for the video cassette recorder.

All of the functions on Beocord VHS 82 were described and stored on ‘menus’ that were brought to the screen with the assistance of the Terminal. This step-by-step instruction ensured fast, faultless operation. So even things like presetting channels, time programming and picture search were as easy as was possible. And although the special menu operation was only possible in connection with the latest TV generations from Bang & Olufsen, Beocord VHS82 was an ideal video supplement for ant TV.

The fact that Beocord VHS 82 could take its place as a technically superior audio tape recorder in any music system emphasizes just how outstanding this stereo video recorder was.

BeoCord 3300

Bang & Olufsen BeoCord 3300

You had the benefits of the very latest technology with this cassette recorder when it was first introduced. Such as the patented HX Pro recording system which enriched the sound image by giving vastly superior reproduction of the treble range.

You were certain to approve of the wealth of useful features too. For example, if the record finished while you were recording, the tape stopped automatically and restarted automatically when you turn the record over.

When you pressed STOP after a recording, a four-second pause was inserted between tracks with the automatic search system. Clever stuff – all designed to make life easier and more fun. Beocord 3300 was part of Beosystem 3300 although it could also be used as a stand-alone item.

Beovox MC35

Bang & Olufsen Beovox MC35

Beovox MC35 and MCX35 loudspeakers were two of the smallest (and most economical) speakers that were ever sold by Bang & Olufsen.

They were often sold as part of the cheaper ranges of Beocenters available at the time, and could be used for around-the-house extra speakers as part of Beolink®.

BeoVox CX100

Bang & Olufsen BeoVox CX100

Living proof that big sound need not take up more space than a couple of ring binders, Beovox CX50 snuggled in anywhere, even as extras in a Beolink® system.

Beovox CX50 and Beovox CX100 loudspeakers were the smallest loudspeakers from Bang & Olufsen up to the time that the manufacture of passive speakers ceased in 2002. They were mostly used to place within a passive Beolink® system (MCL), although they could also be used as main speakers. Thanks to different colour combinations they blended well into most people’s décor.

Beovox CX100 finally ceased production in September 2003 – the last of a long and successful line of passive speakers.

Description:
Passive loudspeaker, aluminium cabinet, available in black, white and brushed aluminium.

Replacement drive units: Top drive unit for CX50/CX100 Part number: 411743

Mounting Options

BeoVox 5000 (1988)

Bang & Olufsen BeoVox 5000 (1988)

Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab and Beovox 5000 speakers had both the voice and the looks for a leading, acoustic role. And because of their looks, they were known as Bang & Olufsen’s range of panel loudspeakers. Panel loudspeakers were one of the most exciting and interesting examples of how Bang & Olufsen united advanced technology and stunning design to achieve totally new effects.

They may not have looked like high-specification loudspeakers – more like works of art – but their sound immediately gave them away. Even at full volume, they kept the total sound picture in perfect balance.

Design as a work of art
The elegant, flat panel loudspeakers were created to hang on the wall. And with their calm surfaces of blue or grey fabric coupled with polished steel, they could be taken for works of art. But the design was only partly for visual effect. The form of the panel speakers was founded on an advanced, acoustic principle that uses the wall as an active part of the sound reproduction process – without causing the wall itself to vibrate.

Optional display and amplifier
The panel loudspeakers were available in two sizes – each with or without amplifier and a display showing which source was playing and at what volume. Also it told you which track number on a CD or tape you were listening to.

With display and amplifier the loudspeakers were called BeoLab. Without, they were called Beovox. The option depended upon which Bang & Olufsen sound system was connected. BeoLab speakers were designed to match Beosystem 6500, 4500, 3500 and Beocenter 9500 and 8500.

Mounting Options
Wall mounting brackets were supplied with this model. No other mounting solution wall offered.

Beovox S120

Bang & Olufsen Beovox S120

Beovox S120 is designed to handle 120 watts continuous load and can handle temporary loud passages throughout the entire audio range.

The speaker has a built-in protection circuit continuous overload. If the speaker output significantly exceeded 120 watts sinus, the speaker is cut out and the OVERLOAD indicator on the front lights up. The speaker is cut in again by pressing the button to the right of the indicator light. This protection circuit does not react to temporary signals and does not cause clipping or distortion.

Beovox MC 120.2 would handle up to 120 watts RMS power. The 20cm woofer, 7,5 mid/phase-link unit and 2,5cm dome tweeter were protected from overload by an automatic circuit. The port reflex cabinet allowed for full bass performance despite modest size. This model could be placed in a shelf system. Alternatively, optional wall-mounting brackets and floor pedestals were available.

Beovox RL 35

Bang & Olufsen Beovox RL 35

The idea behind Beovox Red Line speakers was one of flexibility. A Red Line speaker was so flexible that it could be placed anywhere. On the ceiling, the wall, or on the floor.

You could hang them semi-permanently on the wall, and if you had a party you could place them on the floor and thereby add extra emphasis to the bass. The different ways of placing them accentuated different frequencies. You could also tilt them if you chose to hang them on the wall. This allowed you to adjust the sound image and direct the sound right at your listening position. However, Red Line was more than merely flexible. It was an impressive bass reflex speaker with a revolutionary new cabinet that ‘curved’ round the sound thereby eliminating irritating resonance because there were no parallel surfaces.

Music that never stands still
Red Line loudspeakers followed your music tastes right up the wall if you wanted! All models except the RL35 could be hung on the wall or be suspended from the ceiling; and, if your dancing feet wanted to make the most of the bass notes, then Red Line could be positioned on the floor, supported by the built-in floor stand. By using Red Line speakers, you weren’t plagued by cables that wrapped themselves around your feet like spaghetti either; Red Line’s flexible spiral cables provided the decorative and practical answer.

The shell was cast in a hard synthetic material and the shape that was devised for the range was characterised by the fact that it allowed for practically no resonance whatsoever.
