Launched in the 1970s, the Beogram 4000 series turntables defined the aesthetic of an era: becoming a classic with music lovers, collected by art museums and included in design history books.

An icon. Reimagined.

We wanted to revisit the Beogram turntables to celebrate how there are unchanging values which make a product beautiful and unique. Values that have held true at Bang & Olufsen since 1925.

Now, with the Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Editions, we meticulously source and restore original units. These editions honour our rich heritage, celebrating timeless values while adapting to the modern sound systems.

The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Editions is the first instance of Bang & Olufsen’s Classics Initiative: in the near future we will be revisiting more of our most iconic products, reimagining them for now and coming decades.

Each original Beogram has been worked on by a dedicated team of skilled engineers, technicians and craftspeople at our facilities in Struer, Denmark. Our experts clean, refurbish and fine-tune every single element of the record players by hand.

Recreated by our own experts

The Beogram 4000 series reimagining process begins by bringing the selected turntables back home to Struer, Denmark – the same facilities where they were created. Every Beogram is disassembled manually then thoroughly inspected to assess each unit’s needs.

Disassembly and inspection

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Every single component of each Beogram is painstakingly cleaned. New parts are added – from the smallest screw and ball bearing to the drive belt – ensuring perfect functionality. Once this process is complete, each Beogram is individually tested then fine-tuned until we know it will achieve the precision performance we demand from all of our products.

Refurbishment and restoration

We then create new design elements – from the hand-crafted wooden frame to an updated finish on the minimalistic and intuitive control pad – to enhance the original beauty of the Beogram. Our final step is to upgrade the technology – installing a preamplifier and adding a new pickup cartridge – to make the Beogram easily integrate with contemporary home speaker setups.

Recreation and upgrade

Times change, the way we listen to music changes, but the beauty of refined sound and powerful music will never change. Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition has been updated with a built-in preamplifier to make it fully integrate with all contemporary home sound systems. This means that it’s easy to plug in the Beogram 4000c and immediately immerse yourself in the unique, warm analogue sound of vinyl.

Using Beogram today

The innovative tangential tonearm was striking in its day, and part of the reason the original Beogram was an instant classic. But it wasn’t for looks. The way the tonearm was built made it able to play vinyl at an angle that was as close as possible to the way the record was cut. This made it truthful to the original recording, staying honest to the artist’s intentions.

Innovative looks, innovative technology

The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition refreshes and complements the original look and feel of the record player: the original aluminium has been polished and anodised to allow the material to glow. The crafting of a wooden frame adds warmth and intimacy to the touch. The addition of a new cover accentuates the Beogram as an elegant, subtle object in your living space.
