Beocenter 3300

The Beocenter 3300 effectively combines a powerful AM/FM stereo receiver with an automatic record player. In fact, it matches the specifications of the Beomaster 2200 and offers programs across FM, long, and medium wavebands. Moreover, it provides up to 2 x 40 watts RMS amplification with low distortion levels, which enhances your listening experience. Users will appreciate its straightforward operation.

Additionally, the record player features a spring-suspended rotary mechanism and an electronic servo drive system. This design ensures precise turntable speed, even with fluctuations in mains current. Furthermore, its pendulum leaf spring suspension protects the arm and platter from external shocks and vibrations, thus preventing mistracking and damage to records and styluses.

You can activate all record player functions with a single touch of a button. Specifically, the automatic start/play/stop cycle lifts, moves, or lowers the arm more precisely than a human hand. For enhanced sound quality, it includes an MMC 20E cartridge with an elliptical diamond stylus.

Moreover, the Beocenter 3300 offers connections for a tape deck, an additional record player, headphones, and two sets of stereo speakers. Ultimately, you can also link it with other compatible Bang & Olufsen products to create a Beosystem 3300, which enhances your audio setup.
