Bang & Olufsen Beocenter 5000

Details

Beocenter 5000 is the ideal choice for those with limited space in their homes. Not only does it offer top-class sound reproduction, but it also comes in a compact design. Measuring just 72 x 38 x 9.5 cm, this system delivers high-tech performance across radio, records, and cassettes. Each sound source competes effectively with more expensive separates. Moreover, the three high-performance components are integrated into a single unit, providing the best of all worlds.

Powerful Amplifier and Precision Turntable

First and foremost, the 2 x 40 watts RMS amplifier delivers high output with minimal distortion—less than 0.1% at full volume. Additionally, its automatic record deck features a low-mass, low-inertia tonearm with an MMC 20E pickup. Furthermore, it has a precision-built electronic servo drive system, ensuring perfect speed accuracy.

High-Performance Cassette Recorder

In terms of cassette performance, the recorder excels. It includes Dolby Noise Reduction, a metal tape facility, and automatic ferric/chrome selection. It also features a Sendust tape head and a 4-digit electronic tape counter. Moreover, the radio covers Long, Medium, and FM bands, with five pre-set stations for instant tuning at the press of a button.

Comparison with Beocenter 7002

When comparing the Beocenter 5000 to the Beocenter 7002, it matches the musical capabilities and powerful 2 x 40 watts RMS output. However, it does not include the advanced timer-track location and remote control systems found in the 7002. Additionally, the black anodised lid of the cassette compartment sets the Beocenter 5000 apart from its counterpart.
