BeoGram 5000 Record Deck
Manufactured: 1983 - 1986
Designer: Jacob Jensen
Colours: Aluminium
Beogram 5000's radial-tracking record deck was the perfect match for Beomaster 5000. Operation was entirely automatic. One touch on the PLAY control started the motor and activated the deck's logic circuits which assessed the size and correct speed of the record and instructed the arm to lower the stylus into the run-in groove.
This was a very fast-acting yet highly accurate control system which gave you music within about 8 seconds - far more quickly and gently than the human hand could guarantee. This system was also error-proof; for example, it was impossible to lower the stylus unless there was a record on the turntable, so expensive mistakes and accidents just couldn't happen.
At the end of the record the motor automatically switched itself off and the arm returned to its rest position. If you wished, you could hear the same record over and over again automatically; it was necessary to just press PLAY once for each repeat required. Up to 7 consecutive performances could be pre-programmed in this way.
Beogram 5000's sound quality was everything you would expect from so sophisticated a unit. The ultra-lightweight arm had built-in anti-skating and tracking weight adjustment. It carried the MMC 4 pickup with a framed elliptical diamond stylus that tracked the record groove accurately and with minimum wear.
As a final grace note there was also an interior light that switched itself on automatically when the lid was opened and stayed alight while the unit was in play.
When connected to Beomaster 5000, Beogram 5000 offered the added convenience of full infra-red remote control. The record deck could also be used as part of the Beosystem 5000.
Finish: brushed aluminium, dark grey translucent dust cover
