Bang & Olufsen Beocenter 4000

Details

Beocenter 4000 is an elegant fusion of an AM/FM stereo receiver, effectively the Beomaster 2200, and a high-quality cassette deck that rivals the performance of more expensive standalone models. Moreover, featuring a Sendust tape head, this system guarantees superior playback quality while ensuring longevity and optimal frequency response. Additionally, it incorporates two motors—one for fast winding and another for normal playback—providing smooth and stable tape transport at all times. In addition, a Dolby B Noise Reduction circuit ensures high-quality, low-noise recordings. Despite its advanced technical features and comprehensive capabilities, the Beocenter 4000 remains user-friendly.

Furthermore, focusing on exceptional radio and tape reproduction, the Beocenter 4000 offers a compelling alternative to traditional disc systems. By adding a compatible Beogram from the Bang & Olufsen lineup and two Beovox S45 bookshelf or P45 wall-mounted speakers, you can effortlessly transform it into the complete, top-quality Beosystem 4000.

Finally, the Beocenter 4000 includes a robust 2 x 40 watts RMS amplifier, an FM tuner, and Long and Medium wave radio capabilities, all housed within a stereo cassette deck that boasts features typically reserved for separate high-quality models.
