Le Beosystem 4500 désirable - avec le Beomaster 4500 en son cœur - était la dernière création dune longue lignée de membres de la famille Beomaster 1900 qui avait été dessinée pour la première fois par la plume de Jacob Jensen au milieu des années 1970. Toujours très populaire en raison de son look élégant et moderne, le Beomaster 4500 a utilisé les dernières technologies, en le reliant à sa platine denregistrement Beogram 4500, à sa platine cassette Beocord 4500 et au Beogram CD4500 via Datalink pour former le Beosystem 4500. Un amplificateur interne de 40 W par canal a été incorporé. ainsi que les connecteurs Power Link nécessaires pour piloter les dernières enceintes amplifiées BeoLab.

Angeboten werden Bang & Olufsen BeoCenter 9300 und Beogram 4500 Plattenwechsler im Doppelpack. Beide Geräte weisen Gebrauchsspuren auf, sind funktionsfähig, der Plattenspieler benötigt ein neues Tonabnehmersystem. Ich habe keine OVP. Der BeoCenter ist sehr schwer, der Plattenspieler ist sehr fragil. Ich biete daher nur die kostenlose Abholung an. Dies ist ein Privatverkauf. Eine Rücknahme oder Garantie wird ausgeschlossen. Ansonsten gelten die entsprechenden EU-Bestimmungen.

Please message me for that serviceTESTIMONIALS Courtesy of Beoworld.org MMC stands for Moving Micro-Cross; the patented moving-iron principle upon which all B&O cartridges were based. This unique system employed a cross-shaped armature which, among other advantages, guaranteed exceptional stereo separation since each channel moves on a separate axis.The job of any pickup cartridge is to transform the records physical profile (groove modulation) into corresponding electrical signals (which are then amplified or enlarged by the amplifier and turned into audible sound waves by the loudspeaker. A cartridge must perform three separate and exacting tasks if it is to do this job successfully. It must function mechanically (the movements of the stylus in the groove); it must function magnetically (using the physical movements to create changes in a magnetic field); and it must function electrically (using the changes in magnetic flux to generate an electrical current). At each stage, one type of energy is transferred into another, quite different, type. And the transfer must be perfect, with no energy lost and none added from extraneous sources. No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed. However, by understanding the relationships between the three transfer stages and continually applying refined engineering techniques, B&Os belief was that each stage of cartridge improvement would bring each successive cartridge closer to the ideal. Record wear and the cartridge If you take music seriously the value of your record collection is likely to be high. Many of your records are likely to be irreplaceable. You will also know that the signals pressed into your vinyl discs are very fragile indeed. The pickup cartridge can be the discs worse enemy since an ill-suited cartridge can mark a record for life in a single play. While B&O is aware that cartridge specifications are inter-related, their research shows consistently that Effective Tip Mass (ETM) is one of the major factors affecting record wear. ETM is the equivalent of the amount of inertia the groove sees in moving or accelerating the stylus tip. Consequently, the higher the ETM value, the higher the force required for a given constant acceleration. Obviously, more force results in more wear. Three elements contribute to ETM. The stylus tip (diamond) contributes with its entire weight and mass. The armature contributes between 5 - 20% of its weight and mass; the cantilever around 30%. B&O has been able to reduce ETM substantially by refining these elements and building them into an integrated unit. The result is a system which not only reduces damage to the groove walls dramatically, but also provides exceptional performance at all frequencies.MMC4 Product Specifications Description Titanium-bonded elliptical diamond, mounted on a tapered aluminium cantilever Tracking force - grams 1.2 Diamond Stylus Elliptical Cantilever tube.

Ich verkaufe hier ein frisch revidiertes Beocenter 7002 inklusive Lautsprecher Beovox S4500 und Fernbedienung. Das Beocenter befindet sich technisch in hervorragendem Zustand und wurde gerade erst von einem befreundeten B&O Spezialisten gewartet. Dabei wurden unter anderem der Riemen des Plattenspielers sowie alle Riemen und Rollen des Tapedecks erneuert.Außerdem hat die Aluminiumklappe einen neue Arretierung erhalten. Zum Plattenspieler gehört ein sehr gut erhaltenes und erstklassig klingendes MMC 3000. Alle Funktionen inkl. Aufnahme lassen sich mit der Fernbedienung steuern. Die Fernbedienung hat eine neue 9V Batterie und ist hervorragend erhalten. Das Tapedeck verfügt über Dolby Rauschunterdrückung und kann auch Metall Tapes abspielen. Es verfügt über eine elektronische Steuerung und ein digitales Zählwerk mit programmierbarer Suche. Der optische Zustand des Beocenter ist sehr gut mit nur leichten altersüblichen Gebrauchsspuren (siehe Original Fotos). An der unteren rechten Kante gibt es einen kleinen Furnierschaden, der aber nur zu sehen ist, wenn man es weiß ;-) Die Beovox S4500 sind technisch und optisch top und harmonieren vorzüglich mit dem Beocenter. Natürlich sind die originalen Lautsprecherkabel sowie eine englische Bedienungsanleitung (Nachdruck) iim Verkaufsumfang enthalten. Der Neupreis des Beocenter (ohne Boxen und Fernbedienung!) lag 1981 bei 3850,- DM. Inflationsbereinigt entspricht das einem heutigen Preis von 4650,-€ Die Anlage kommt aus einem Nichtraucherhaushalt und wurde stets sorgsam gepflegt. Aufgrund des Gewichtes und der Dimensionen nur Abholung in Berlin Westend - kein Versand! Eine Lieferung in Berlin und dem näheren Umland ist aber nach Absprache möglich. Es handelt sich um einen Privatverkauf ohne Rücknahme und Garantie! I am selling a recently overhauled Beocenter 7002 including Beovox S4500 speakers and remote control. The Beocenter is technically in excellent condition and has just been serviced by a B&O specialist friend of mine. Among other things, the belt of the turntable and all belts of the tape deck were renewed.In addition, the aluminum flap has received a new lock. The record player comes with a very well-preserved and first-class sounding MMC 3000. All functions, including recording, can be controlled with the remote control. The remote control has a new 9V battery and is in excellent condition. The tape deck has Dolby noise reduction and can also play metal tapes. It has electronic control and a digital counter with programmable search. The cosmetic condition of the Beocenter is very good with only slight signs of wear consistent with age (see original photos). There is a small veneer damage on the lower right edge, but this can only be seen if you know it ;-) The Beovox S4500 are technically and visually top and matching perfectly with the Beocenter. Of course, the original speaker cables and an English user manual (reprint) are included in the sale. The original price of the Beocenter (without speakers and remote control!) was 3850 DM in 1981. Adjusted for inflation, this corresponds to a current price of 4650 € The system comes from a non-smoking environment and has always been carefully maintained. Due to the weight and dimensions, collection only in Berlin Westend - no shipping!A delivery in Berlin and the surrounding area is possible by arrangement. It is a private sale without return and guarantee!

On very rare occasions, there may be an issue with your order, such as courier damage or simply leaving transit screws engaged. (Quite common). I can remedy any such issues to your complete satisfaction most quickly via the telephone or eBay message (without the need to open a case). Please use the contact number shown when you select the ask a question button. I realise that you are very, very busy, only one in three of my clients has found the time to leave feedback that also informs their peers of their positive experience. Indeed all of Qualitronics feedback is from buyers and not inflated by that of other sellers. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated. INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES:Please note that Qualitronics is not responsible for any additional import tariffs or customs charges levied at source or upon delivery. It is the buyers responsibility to check before purchasing for their own countrys charges. VOLTAGE:All electrical items are UK voltage (240v) and B&O UK type xxxx unless otherwise stated. I dont like to disguise the postage and packaging costs in the item price. This shipping price includes, packing materials, insurance and first class tracking that is an unfortunate necessity due to buyer fraud. It is not even the full cost, only the Royal Mail charge. Thank you for your understanding.
