Beocenter 9300

RESERVERT. Selger det siste i rekken av beocenter med integrert forsterker. Kasett-delen må sjekkes. Fantastisk design, som alltid av B&O

Over the life of the BeoCenter 9300, three CD mechanisms were fitted. Originally the same one that had been seen in the Beocenter 9500 was used, followed by two versions using a three-beam pickup. These could be identified by the fact that the laser moved in a straight line rather than an arc. These changes followed similar ones made to the Ouverture and Century ranges. All BeoCenter 9300s used a 1-bit decoder, the previous models had all been 16 bit.

A useful saving in power consumption over previous models was also noted. In order to save power whilst the set was on “standby” (that is, most of the time), two mains transformers were fitted. The large one powered the set whilst in use, a second smaller one maintained the essential systems whilst in standby. This was not a new idea (for example, the Beomaster 8000 also worked like this), but it allowed the attractive claim to be made that the new model was more energy efficient than the old one.

The end of the BeoCenter 9300 marked the end of this very successful line of models. As well as being one of the last to offer a cassette recorder, the BeoCenter 9300 was also the last audio “main product” that could drive passive loudspeakers. An era had truly ended.
