Bang & Olufsen Recreates Another Classic With The Launch Of The Beosystem 3000c
The new Bang & Olufsen brings together the company's Beolab 8 stereo speakers and a remanufactured ... More Beogram 3000 turntable which was originally launched in 1985. For a few years now, Bang & Olufsen has been on a mission to resurrect some of the Danish audio brand's most iconic products, many from the 1970s and 1980s. That was the golden age of hi-di design. The next product to get the Bang & Olufsen makeover treatment is the Beosystem 3000c. This refined music system was originally introduced as the Beogram 3000 turntable back in 1985. Now Bang & Olufsen has meticulously recreated the device and paired it with contemporary Beolab 8 stereo speakers in a coordinated artisan walnut finish. The new Beosystem 3000c is limited to just 100 individually numbered sets and seamlessly bridges the ritual of playing vinyl with the fluidity of today's listening habits while offering a powerful and tactile experience where analog warmth and streaming can coexist in one timeless system. Bang & Olufsen has bought 100 used Beogram 3000 and completed remanufactured them before combining ... More them with Beolab 8 wireless speakers to create the Beosystem 3000c. This is the third release in Bang & Olufsen's Recreated Classics series, a program that's dedicated to giving iconic products a second life. Bang & Olufsen hunts down used examples of the products and then buys them back before restoring, reengineering and aesthetically reimagining them. In the Beosystem 3000c, hand-crafted walnut and anodized aluminum blend the past with the present using original materials that have been preserved, cleaned, upgraded and then fully future-proofed by Bang & Olufsen's team of specialists based in Struer, Denmark. 'Through our Recreated Classics series, we honor the cultural impact of vinyl listening while showcasing the long-lasting value of Bang & Olufsen products, even beyond their first lifecycle,' says Mads Kogsgaard Hansen, head of product circularity and portfolio planning. 'The Beosystem 3000c invites our customers to rediscover their vinyl collections and enjoy the emotional richness of music as it was meant to be heard, while effortlessly integrating into how we listen today.' Bang & Olufsen's Beogram 3000 was launched in 1985 and featured a tangential tracking tonearm. Originally introduced in 1985, the Beogram 3000 brought Bang & Olufsen's pioneering tangential tracking technology into a more compact and electronically automated form. Its floating appearance and refined control panel made it a design icon of its time. In the Beogram 3000c, that same design intent is preserved and elevated with modern craftsmanship. The turntable features a precision-machined solid walnut back cover, a new aluminum control panel, a dust lid, fabric cables and a future-ready pickup cartridge. The original aluminum parts have been remanufactured and finished in pearl-blasted and brushed treatments at Bang & Olufsen's Factory 5. Completing the system are a pair of Beolab 8 stereo speakers that mirror the turntable's craftsmanship with matching walnut lamellas and pearl-blasted aluminum shells, creating a cohesive visual and acoustic experience. Bang & Olufsen says the two components deliver 'deep, dynamic sound, whether immersed in the warmth of vinyl or streaming a favorite playlist.' Pricing & Availability: If you fancy being one of the 100 people on the planet able to own a Beosystem 3000c then be prepared to part with $30,000 / £22,100 / €26.000. The units are made to order and available from select Bang & Olufsen stores and from 27th May 2025.
