Are there any problems with the BeoSound 9000?

Despite the expensive materials used and the apparent quality of finish, the Beosound 9000 proved problematic in service. In particular the CD laser pickup was not very durable (despite a number of different types being tried), and early versions of the control software would occasionally lock up and stop the unit functioning.

How does a beocentral Beolab 8000 connect to a loudspeaker?

Connection to the loudspeakers was by Power link, with the Beolab 8000 as an obvious choice. Master Link was also available for more complex set-ups. A 7-pin socket was fitted to connect external equipment (selected as “A-AUX”), or for connection as a CD player only to an existing Hi-Fi system.

Can a beocentral BeoSound be used in a car?

A rather inferior attempt had been made at this already for the American market using a machine intended for car use connected to a Beomaster 7000, though clearly such a crude arrangement would have little appeal in Europe . Text copyright © Beocentral. Unauthorised reproduction prohibited .

Where is the control panel on the BeoSound 9000?

Lift the lid on BeoSound 9000 and the extensive control panel with timer, editing and sound adjustment operations is at hand. Since the BeoSound 9000 can be placed in a great number of positions, the control panel can turn as you prefer. The display follows the same orientation, of course.

When did The BeoSound 9000 10 CD edition come out?

The design group liked the 10-CD edition; it looked stunning, but in use it was limited to just once placement (unlike the eight different placements that the currently-produced BeoSound 9000 offers). The 10—CD version was subsequently shelved with the 6-CD version going into production in 1996.

Why was the beocentral BeoSound 9000 so bad?

Many of the models introduced in the period running up to its launch, made as they were from indifferent grades of plastic and offering little to advance the cause of either styling or performance, failed to capture the essence of what had made B&O’s more traditional ranges so desirable.

What happens if the BeoSound 9000 is lifted?

If the beam is violated, the CD clamper will stop immediately. If the glass door is lifted while the clamper is in motion, it will decelerate immediately. A power failure feature ensures that the clamper is not damaged in a gravitational free-fall, if BeoSound 9000 is mounted vertically.
