Beocenter 9500

Beocenter 9500 showcases a stunning mirrored exterior crafted from aluminum and smoked glass, artfully concealing the powerful components inside. At the heart of this music system lies the AM/FM receiver, while the CD player and cassette recorder stand ready for action on either side. With a gentle touch on the display panel, users can effortlessly slide open the lids, granting instant access to their chosen media. Renowned designer Jacob Jensen created the Beocenter 9500 as a direct evolution of the earlier Beocenter 9000, and it paved the way for the Beocenter 9300 in 1994.

Effortless Operation and User Experience with Beocenter 9500

Operating the Beocenter 9500 proves remarkably simple. A light touch on the unit activates its functions, while the illuminated display guides users through programming and other operations. This intuitive design creates an excellent first impression, emphasizing ease of use. Additionally, the optional Beolink 1000 remote control enhances accessibility, allowing for convenient operation from a distance.

Reliable Entertainment and Information Sources from Beocenter 9500

With the Beocenter 9500, users can preset up to 20 FM and AM stations on the receiver. When they make a selection, both search and fine-tuning operate automatically, ensuring a seamless listening experience. Furthermore, users can program the receiver to switch on for news broadcasts or favorite shows at specified times. If you’re away, the cassette recorder can record shows, enabling playback whenever you desire.

Built-in Alarm and Clock Features

The Beocenter also functions as a reliable alarm clock. In the event of a power failure during the night, the clock automatically switches to its built-in batteries, ensuring you wake up on time.

Advanced CD Player

The versatile CD player accommodates both 12 cm and 8 cm compact discs. It provides instant access to specific tracks and allows users to customize the playback order or select particular tracks to enjoy. When paired with the Beogram 9500, this complete music system is known as the Beosystem 9500, exemplifying technology at its most user-friendly.
