Small, compact and elegant, Beosystem 10 was the ideal companion when you were away from a main audio system.
It offered stereo radio with FM and AM/LW reception with three pre-set FM stations. The cassette recorder played every type of tape with the built-in stereo speakers providing excellent sound quality. There was also an optional wall bracket, and you could connect a turntable or extra cassette recorder, external speakers and Form 1 or Form 2 headphones.
Very nice system 10 from Bang and Olufsen. cosmetically it looks really nice. Technically, everything works. The radio function works and cassette function also work.
