Beocenter 2800

The Beocenter 2800 combines an FM/AM tuner, a 2 x 25 watts RMS hi-fi amplifier, and a fully automatic record player. The tuner supports Long, Medium, and FM wave reception, offering a variety of listening options. You can pre-set four favorite FM stations for easy access. Advanced features like ceramic filters, AFC, split-supply output, and a phase-locked loop decoder ensure excellent reception and clear reproduction of even distant stations.

The record player operates automatically with a master switch controlling all functions. The anti-skating device, built into the arm’s suspension, adjusts itself automatically. The Electronic Servo Drive (ESD) maintains precise speed for accurate playback.

The Beocenter 2800 includes connections for a tape deck, two sets of stereo speakers, and headphones, offering flexible setup options. Its compact design makes it easy to use, thanks to automatic circuits and intuitive controls.

By linking it with other Bang & Olufsen products, you can expand it into the Beosystem 2800 for an enhanced audio experience.
