BeoGram 2000 Record Deck
Manufactured: 1983 - 1987
Designer: Jacob Jensen
Colours: Aluminium
This radial-tracking record deck had a lightweight turntable (only 400g) to minimise torque at starting. The automatic cueing system was also very fast-acting, so it was only a matter of a few seconds between touching the PLAY control and hearing the music.
The tone arm had built-in anti-skating and carried the MMC 4 pickup, ensuring accurate tracking and excellent sound quality. Normal PLAY and STOP functions were entirely automatic and could be operated with the lid closed; manual buttons for playing non-standard discs were located on the deck plate. In addition to automating the setting of correct speed and cueing position for each record, the Beogram's built-in microcomputer allowed a REPEAT function, which could be programmed for up to 7 plays of the same record.
Drive was provided by a tacho-controlled DC motor via a flat rubber belt, so turntable speed was always accurate and could not be affected by fluctuations in the mains supply.
When used with Beomaster 2000, an electronic data-link allowed Beogram 2000 to be operated by the Beomaster's controls. Beogram 2000 could also be made up as part of the Beosystem 2000, when linked together with other compatible Bang & Olufsen products.
