BeoVision 10-40

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 10-40

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.

BeoVision 1

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 1

BeoVision 1

BeoVision 1 is definitely a case of less being more. BeoVision 1 takes television back to basics. Gone is anything that could complicate or confuse, and what’s left is the simple enjoyment of watching TV. At the heart of BeoVision 1 is a four-buttoned remote control and a ground-breaking method of operation. Each family member can establish their own group of favourite channels which are easily accessed and edited via the Beo1.

 

BeoVision 1 LS

BeoVision 1 LS is a variant of the BeoVision 1 television, and has been specially developed to interact with Bang & Olufsen’s Beolink® system. With its many colour and placement options, BeoVision 1 LS can be located in the bedroom, study or home office, and – via a MasterLink cable – give you access and control of all the sources in your main room set-up. With functions similar to the BeoVision MX 4002, the BeoVision 1 LS can only be controlled with the Beolink® system remote control, Beo4. The group function of BeoVision 1 and its optional STB, Sat-Receiver and DVD Controller are not available in the Beolink® compatible version.

Simplicity

BeoVision 1 cleans up the technological mess and takes television back to basics. Gone is anything that complicates or confuses and what’s left is the pure and simple enjoyment of watching television.

Menus

Just as BeoVision 1 doesn’t look like any other television, it doesn’t act like it either. With a Beo1 in hand, the user interacts with a series of specially created on-screen menus to offer a uniquely simplified method of operation. In a world of unlimited TV channels and endless options, BeoVision 1 puts you back in charge of your television. Instead of zapping through all that’s on offer, you organise the channels you want in up to 8 user groups; News, Movies, Sports – or perhaps one for each member of the family.

Performance

Into a world where complexity is often mistaken for progress comes BeoVision 1. A straightforward, easy-to-use television with a first-rate picture, a sumptuous sound reproduction, and ground-breaking operation principle. Instead of zapping through endless lists of programmes, BeoVision 1 offers instant access to an individual choice of programmes in up to eight user groups; News, Movies, Sports, Children etc. – or perhaps one for each member of the family

 

Placement

 

When it comes to placement options, BeoVision 1 spoils you with choice. Easy access, anywhere you want it, BeoVision 1 offers a range of five placement options, from table top to high and low floor stands, from wall mounting to a traditional stand with room for a VCR player. If you opt for wall mounting or the high stand, the power and aerial cables can be hidden inside the stand for seamless connection. Place it on a table with or without room for a VCR/DVD player. Or set it upon the special high stand and lift your television 2 metres off the ground.

Turning Function

Are you tired of rearranging the furniture to suit the TV? With the optional turning function, BeoVision 1 will turn through an arc of 70 degrees. You can program it to turn towards you every time you sit down in your favourite viewing chair and switch on.

Physical design

From front to back, from start to finish – BeoVision 1 is a true reflection of Bang & Olufsen’s belief in combining unrivalled technology with emotional appeal.

 

You can see it in the clear, simple design that stands out but never dominates. In the choice of vivid colours that includes yellow, blue, green, red, grey and black and special mat finish that covers the entire cabinet. Or in the cantilevered front screen that appears to float by itself. It’s an effective blend of form and function that creates its own unique experience. Because BeoVision 1 brings television out into the open, it’s important that it looks good from every angle. That’s why the coloured surface, with its unique silk mat texture, covers the entire cabinet; from top to bottom and front to back.

As from October 2002, both BeoVision 1 and Beocenter 1 were delivered with a Beo4 remote control in place of Beo1 which was discontinued. By January 2003 a Dolby Digital Surround Sound kit was available for both TV models. The colour range of BeoVision 1 was reduced to two colours: black and grey.

Sound & picture

It’s one of the most impressive things about BeoVision 1 – and something you’ll probably never notice. While you’re watching what’s on the screen, it’s constantly monitoring the picture and sound being produced. It will react instantly to the slightest change in the surrounding light and even take account of the sound variations that occur when you switch from one channel to another. It’s total sound and picture quality – take it for granted. Bang & Olufsen realised long ago that sound makes the best picture even better. That’s why BeoVision 1 uses powerful active loudspeakers to give the purest sound possible. BeoVision 1 also automatically adjusts and optimises the sound level when you switch between different TV channels.

 

A TV picture placed high above the rest so that everyone can see it is not a new idea. It has been around for a long time, but only seen in direct context with a wall. The picture was seen placed on a shelf, a wall bracket or occasionally suspended from a ceiling.

BeoVision 1 and Beocenter 1 are designed to be seen from all sides. Designed to stand like sculpture in the centre of a room. The ideas team therefore wished them to be mounted as high as possible in the room, or even out in the open under the open sky, if possible.

Just looking at BeoVision 1 or Beocenter 1 on its tall stand may not reveal the inspiration behind the solution but it is obvious when you hear it.

In the latter stages of development of BeoVision 1, David Lewis presented his idea to the tram: “We’ll create a ‘banner’ as in medieval times, when a knight would carry his coat of arms, embroidered onto a piece of cloth and raised high on a pole, so that everyone could see where he was”.

VisionClear

BeoVision 1 offers the sharpest, clearest picture ever seen from a Bang & Olufsen television. And to make sure you experience it every time you watch TV, BeoVision 1 uses the latest VisionClear technology to automatically optimize brightness, contrast and colour to match the prevailing light conditions in the room.

Intelligent TV

Take television back to its basic essentials; the enjoyment of a sound and picture experience – a simple intelligent television.

BeoVision 1 cuts down on the superfluous functions that have little relevance to watching television and greatly enhances those that do. With both picture and sound optimised automatically, you’ve even more freedom to focus on the things that really matter; pure, unadulterated entertainment.

BeoVision 1 LS

If you already have Bang & Olufsen equipment in your living room, you can opt for the Beolink® version of BeoVision 1 and place it in the study or bedroom. From there you can access the radio or CD on your CD player, or enjoy the extra video options of your main room setup.

BeoVision 1 LS – Press Release 2000

Two concepts united in new TV. The unity of two groundbreaking concepts is the idea behind the introduction of the newest member of the Bang & Olufsen video family. The BeoVision 1 link slave variant (LS) combines the logical distribution of sound and picture known from the Beolink® system with the simplicity of the BeoVision 1 concept. The prospects look bright for the newest video product from the factory in Struer.

“With the BeoVision 1 link slave variant, we offer a complement to the already successful BeoVision MX4002 television. Whereas the classic styling and dimensions of MX4002 will continue to appeal to several thousand customers annually, we believe that the BeoVision 1 LS will only serve to increase these numbers”, states Product Manager Dirk Hogenfeld.

“This variant simply provides an additional choice for the consumer who wishes to expand his or her Beolink® system. Emotionally, he or she may choose from the discreet elegance of the MX line or the soft refinement of BeoVision 1 LS. From a purely physical aspect, he or she now has the freedom to choose between the charming 21″ screen of MX4002 or the attractive 25″ screen of the BeoVision 1 LS with all the placement options”, continues Hogenfeld.

BeoVision 1 LS’s flexibility stems primarily from a choice of five unique placement possibilities: from floating almost magically out from the wall, to sitting on a more traditional floor stand, to standing tall on a 160 cm column. Utilising the optional built-in motor, the BeoVision 1 LS can also be turned to face in different directions.

Externally, BeoVision 1 LS offers a truly colourful experience. It is available in six different colours: green, black, yellow, blue, red and grey. And all with matching fabric in the V-shape below the TV screen. This finishing touch helps ensure that the BeoVision 1 LS blends into any home interior.

Furthermore, a TV that goes anywhere also needs to produce a picture that looks good anywhere. The BeoVision 1 LS’s automatic contrast, brightness and colour control means superb picture quality in more or less any light. Add the optional anti-reflection coated contrast glass to the 25″, 4:3 format screen, and the amount of incoming light is reduced by almost 99%, when compared with ordinary front glass.

Access to all main room sources

Like all other dedicated Beolink® products, only one simple press on the Beo4 remote control is necessary to access a main room source – such as CD, radio, videotape or DVD. Volume control takes place independently of the main room. The operation principles are logical and consistent with remainder of the Bang & Olufsen product portfolio.

BeoSystem 10

Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 10

BeoSystem 10

Small, compact and elegant, Beosystem 10 was the ideal companion when you were away from a main audio system.

It offered stereo radio with FM and AM/LW reception with three pre-set FM stations. The cassette recorder played every type of tape with the built-in stereo speakers providing excellent sound quality. There was also an optional wall bracket, and you could connect a turntable or extra cassette recorder, external speakers and Form 1 or Form 2 headphones.

BeoSystem 2500

Bang & Olufsen BeoSystem 2500

BeoSystem 2500

David Lewis’ Beosystem 2500 from 1991 marked a new era of design for hi-fi. In its design, he set out to emphasise the function of the machine. The front is protected by a Perspex eyeshade which slides inwards when in use. Lewis here introduced the flat, standing shape which has come to characterise his Bang & Olufsen designs; for instance BeoSound 9000.

 

Its interface, designed by Sally Beardleys, is simple and well thought out. Since Beosystem 2500 is very compact it has taken a lot of work to make its small loudspeakers effective and harmonious. Among other things this has been solved by making use of separate power sources to the loudspeakers in order to optimise their sound. The design was followed up by BeoSound Century, which, compared to the 2500 is smaller and cheaper.

Tradition had it that music systems should be recognised at such. However, not so at Bang & Olufsen. In spite of its size, Beosystems 2300 and 2500 featured operation and performance on a level that compared with larger B&O audio systems. And adding to the magic of the fascinating new sound experience at the time of its introduction, was the way that the smoked glass doors slid open the instant the beams are broken by a wave of your hand – revealing the controls beneath.

Beosystem 2300 / 2500 gave you two extremely powerful active loudspeakers – BeoLab 2500 – which acted as completely integrated components in the system. The source selection and programming keys you needed to operate Beosystem 2300 / 2500 were located in a central keypad. And just above them was an illuminated display which could keep you informed of the source and track you were listening to. Every time you touched a key, the display told you exactly which function you activated.

Beocenter 2500, or Beosystem 2500 as it was called when used with BeoLab 2500 active speakers, was developed from the idea of a flexible music system that could compete with the sound quality of heavy music systems. Thanks to the advent of active speakers, this was a possibility with both Beocenter 2500 and its CD-only capable Beocenter 2300. With active speakers, each of the powerful bass and treble units were equipped with their own separate amplifiers. In addition, the electronic cross-over network ensured full bass reproduction.

The loudspeakers were located on both sides of a centre console, where two clear glass covers automatically glided to the side when a hand was passed in front of them. Behind the glass covers there was access to the operating panel, receiver, CD player and a cassette recorder.

The receiver allowed the option of presetting 2 x 20 FM/AM radio stations. The cassette recorder featured Auto Reverse, Automatic Recording level, search function and Bang & Olufsen’s HX-PRO recording system, a system which ensures that the sensitive treble range is captured in recording. The memory in Beocenter 2300’s CD player allowed you to edit up to 100 CDs.

Both systems could be operated via their operating panel or a Beolink 1000 or Beolink 5000 remote control. There were sockets for headphones and connection to additional sound sources; extra loudspeakers can also be connected.

 

Beocenter 2500 was available with loudspeaker panels in cobalt grey, black, white, cerise or jade. It was later known as BeoSound Ouverture and could be made up to the Beosystem 2500 when incorporated with the BeoLab 2500 active loudspeakers.

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

Bang & Olufsen BeoSystem 3500

BeoSystem 3500

Beosystem 3500 was unique, both in looks and price

The system’s lines were pure with everything superfluous omitted. It was specially designed to hang either on a wall or sit on a shelf or table. A light touch on its illuminated display gave immediate access to AM/FM receiver, CD player and cassette recorder; all of which were the latest and best in their respective fields. The system was completed by a pair of RedLine RL35 speakers and operated via a Beolink 1000 remote control unit.

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!
