Reimagined for contemporary homes: The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition

 

 

Bang & Olufsen Unveiled the Beogram 4000c Turntable.

Bang & Olufsen unveiled the rebirth of an icon with the launch of its Beogram 4000c Recreated LimitedEdition. This turntable, originally introduced in the early 1970s, is the first product to be released in the company’s new Classics initiative: restoring and reimagining classic products to demonstrate the timelessness of Bang & Olufsen’s capabilities within sound, design, and craftsmanship and to uncover design principles that can extend the lifespan of future products.

The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition builds on the look and feel of the original turntable. The aluminium has been polished and anodised in a warmer champagne tone, giving the surface a subtle glow. It is surrounded by a new hand-crafted solid oak frame, further enhancing the visual warmth of the product. A new dust lid protects the product when it is not in use and accentuates Beogram 4000c as an elegant object in the home.

Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition (RRP 10,000 EUR / 9,000 GBP / 75,000 DKK) celebrates Bang & Olufsen’s 95th year and will be available in only 95 numbered units.

Bang & Olufsen has identified 95 units of the Beogram 4000 series turntable and brought them back home to Struer, Denmark – to the same facility where they were first created nearly five decades ago. The turntables have been disassembled and thoroughly inspected by a team of skilled engineers. Every component is painstakingly cleaned, new parts are added where needed – from the smallest ball bearings all the way up to the drive belt-ensuring lasting performance. Once this process is complete, each Beogram is individually tested then fine-tuned to meet Bang & Olufsen’s exacting specifications.

When Beogram 4000 was first created in the early 1970s, the original design team sought to make an obsolescence-proof product by leaving space in the internal architecture for additional technology upgrades.

In the restoration process, Bang & Olufsen’s engineers have taken advantage of this foresight and added an RIAA phono pre-amplifier, allowing the turntable to be connected to modern speakers using a phono or 3.5mm line-level connection. This provides customers with seamless integration between Beogram 4000c and Bang & Olufsen’s entire range of home speakers — either directly or through a Beosound Core — allowing them to immerse themselves in the unique and warm analogue sound of vinyl.
