Now that's how you do a B&O advert, stunning! That actually gave me goosebumps! John.
Bang & Olufsen Manchester Cheers John! That’s definitely a call for a comprehensive review!)
@@sergio1260 If I get my hands on one you know I will!
yes, same here too ... but i wonder how would people working in a wood workshop and other departments @ B&O work in such dimily lit rooms!? yes, i know, this video's been shot like that on purpose to make it look more dramatic and i understand that perfectly well ... yet the technical nerd in me couldn't help but notice that lighting effect ... ;-)
@@dadautube I believe they just use The Force, lighting isn't an issue :D
dadautube you can blame me and photographer 🤠
We went with timeless, Christopher Nolan feel of contrast and colour.
Apologies to your nerd side :)
Still works as a storytelling though.
I would crank light up in the workshop too 😄
I have never, until now, given a thumbs up on an ad.
Imagine seeing this in 1978. Go look at what cars looked like in 1978, and you'll realize how groundbreaking just the design of this was back then. To B&O, thank you for bringing this back. Im not into vinyl, but I love the aesthetic that your company created and the beauty of this turntable specifically.
bassandtreblechef. Imagine this is 1955. Go look at what cars looked like in 1955, and you'll realize how groundbreaking the design of the Citroen DS was back then, and not only the design. Citroen DS, Bang and Olufsen Beogram 4000 were two exceptional products in their category.
My B&O system is 35 years old , I use it every single day , and its as good now as it was then its a pleasure to listen to and a joy to look at.
Once, in a previous life - I was a Technician in a B&O store. This one as many mind blowing pieces went through my hand back in the mid 80’s.
A classic reborn = You in the hospital with a heart-attack when you see the price tag..
Devialet enters the chat..
11,000 US dollars😅
My original Beogram 4000 (predecessor to the one in the ad--and even more beautiful, IMHO) still sounds great thank you very much.

Now thats how you make an advert! Always hated when a movie is interupted by adverts...but this one would make my day!
Absolutely love it! I especially like that it can link straight into a Core, Beovision TV or any B&O wireless Multiroom speaker via the 3.5mm Aux input socket, very neat!
Also the Essence1 ?
@@166Bertje Yes, the Beogram 4000c can also connect to Essence, PlayMaker or any other audio system with stereo RCA/cinch inputs
Steve at Sounds Heavenly Wow,in that case I really need to buy the new PL cable’s to RJ45. But I don’t know if the Penta’s display’s working then.
The masterpiece of all time. I have been working on the Beogram 4000 series many time and this make my very proud to see the Bang & Olufsen has put the product to a next level high model.
Marketing, Video and Director Team are on another level!
Finally a genuinely well done advert from B&O
I sent them an email 2 yrs ago to bring back the wedge. At least every 5 yrs or so. That's the best design ever! My brother had one. Hopefully they'll make all the componets again.
A throwback to the days when Bang & Olufsen products were not just beautiful but were innovative and rethought every convention and, when possible, replaced with unconventional ideas that were just, simply, better.
I had the Beogram 8000. Surprisingly, it outlasted some of my manual turntables.
Wonderful devices - I have three original 400x decks and all still work. The 4000 in particular is a fantastic design and massively engineered. It is a joy to use and to listen to.

I only buy Bang and olufson products now there products are the best money can buy and I won't settle for less The H9 headphones I have are second to none the sound quality is perfect I love them you feel executive when using there products. Keep up the good work
I'd love to have this TT next to my other vintage b&o gear, but my god the price on this thing! I'm in love, good job b&o!
Love this. Insane price, but shows they are proud of it. I would if I could!
Cool indeed. I'd be hyped if this was actually a re-launch, not a 10k per unit auction ad.
Very exciting, awesome video!!
Funny. I was just contemplating getting the old one in the attict the other day. I hope the belt still works. I should have a couple original pickups some where too
Can’t wait to see more details but I will imagine this will be super pricey!
I'm impressed this look is from 1972. As a child in the eighties, I remember seeing similar (probably inferior) designs in mail order catalogues, thinking they looked futuristic.

They are refurbishing 95 turntables.
Not against it at all, but I thought they are starting a new production of turntables. I am fascinated with their old hi-fi design myself. Not an audiophile, but I do love retro futurism. And Bang and Olufsen are like something that came from a different possible future.
Really?,just refurbishing old ones?,trying to make a quick buck....
@@roetsj probably a promotional thing. I doubt they are short of money.
Jacob Jensen will be proud!

That's unlikely. He passed away in 2015.
Luv it! 🙏🏻
This is not an add, since none of us will ever buy it. It's a testimonial to craftsmanship and perfection. Which we can all feel.
If only I could afford this turntable, probably the best there is today. Beautiful design, great video, and wonderful products. I hope this means B&O will get back into producing turntables with more models, larger production runs, and lower prices, and also making more spare parts and cartridges for existing models of turntables they made in the past, it is becoming harder and more expensive to buy an ever decreasing supply of replacement parts and cartridges for these amazing B&O machines. Also, their recievers, CD players, sound systems, and more were pheonomenal back in the day, but is this not true for all of their products?
Back in 1979 a guy who lived across the hall from me in my college dorm had a B&O set up. We had a number of rich kids at our school.
I wish I could have one of those!! 😌
I was browsing for a turntable, luckily I haven’t decided to buy any, until I saw this one!
...that you decided you don't have the money to buy the one you want.
Do you want great sound???
If you do then do not buy the bang and Olufsen. For 10000 € you can buy Rega planer 8, and a good riaa amp.
The Rega will be much much better than the bang and Olufsen.
In fact, you could just buy a rega planer 3 with a good cartridge, that would also sound better than Bang and Olufsen
I have a Beogram TX and a Beogram 8000. Are you guys going to be making cartridges again? THe MMC and the MC20-CL? I know Sound Smith makes them but is B&O going to start manufacturing them again?
Epic
Too Cool
Wow, is the Beogram really back???? Can’t believe it, its amazing
It's not back... it's reborn :-)
Not to mention that hefty pricetag and limited production. Not back at all

Ok now I'm getting excited with just the thought of what B&O will release in 2025, their 100-year anniversary!
So does that mean the Beotime wall clock will be making a return too :P
Wow!

I would love to do a comparison between the Beogram 4000 and my Linn lp12.
My Beogram 8500 still plays perfectly

The future of music listening seen in the 70s
I have to thank B&O - because of the launch of 95 of these €10000 refurbished decks, I decided to start reselling ClearAudio Record Decks; the performance of these high-end decks far exceeds the Beogram 4000c with a SoundSmith cartridge, at a fraction of the price.
I have restored a 4002 with new bearings, belts, and pullies. Completely refurbished and calibrated. Looks and plays fantastic. Message me if you would like to buy it. $3k...not $11k...
My Dynaco A25’s attest to the Danish perfection
Can you guys please start making the MMC and other stylus assemblies for
the older turntables? My Ben]ogram RX still works, but it has a bad
stylus.
Dear Carbon Black, go to www.sound-smith.com/bo-cartridges
we have them.
Very nice, but I just spend 175,- Euro for a complete revision of my Beogram 1203 and it works like a charm again. I am very & truly happy, but when my SP 14 needle runs down in a few years I am also in big trouble. So be nice and go supply affordable replacement again until we old geezers are all gone. It's just 10 or 20 or 30 years! 😉
I was so excited to see Bang & Olufsen bring back restored Beograms. But the price tag of $11,500 killed it for me.
My birthday is coming up - this might be it.
If you look it with the perspective, that a old Ferrari for multiple millions, then this is a bargain, for a peace history!
These are sold used and in very good condition through out the world. They are no exeption in Denmark or in ebay. Only thing you must think of is the stylus. This sucker can be repaired and still expensive. I can imagine that if you have 600-700 dollars you can purchace a beogram 4000 with a dine stylus.
By the way, some people were extremely cautious and treated the 4000 like an art object. Which it is.

Hope seeing cassette deck revival also
Guuuuuuuuauauaua.
Is B&O going to actually make cartridges again or are they going to have Soundsmith do it for them? I’m sure that many people would like new 20CLs
www.sound-smith.com/bo-cartridges
@@johntoney9418 I’m fully aware. I’m just wondering if B&O will make them themselve or farm it out to SS.
you can keep b&o for 20 years and it will still fit
Amazing but the price ( 10K € ) it's totally crazy
I'm watching this on a laptop and guess what, It has the B&O logo as has B&O audio : }
Who will produce your moving iron cartridges? Doesn't soundsmith now own those patents?
yes these decks are supplied with smmc cartridges
呜呜呜我一定买！
I remember this turntable as a gimmick for the 1970s jet set. In parallel high performance designs came from Linn, Thorens, Oracle, SME, Rega, etc. B&O never made actual audiophile gear. Along with Braun it's been a leader in industrial design and lifestyle products that blend well into the home and provide a flattering user experience, but to a few exceptions (like the extravagant Beolab 90) it's never been a parangon of superlative audio. The price-to-performance ratio places the company into the ostentatious luxury arena. Meanwhile several audio engineering breakthroughs have come from a diverse and healthy Danish audio industry. Makes you wonder why B&O seems uninterested in reference parts from OEM vendors Jantzen, Scanspeak, Dynaudio, Purifi, et al. and why would one pay so much primarily for good looks and not so much for performance. This realm is dying fast : Today with a pair of well-designed active speakers, you pretty much get everything you need; just connect your smartphone, or computer - some designs even integrate the streamer, room correction DSP, wireless multizone support and so forth - all in slick industrial design that also exhibiting great craftsmanship. If this post seems offensive, it's meant to remind you guys that your thinking needs to evolve. Look at formely prestigious brands like BMW, with zero growth; meanwhile Tesla can't produce fast enough. If you married your first-rate sense of industrial design with truly superlative audio performance, robust mechanical design (sorry, that's always been a weak point of yours) AND realistic pricing, you'd be selling like hot cakes, and not just to Rolex-set poseurs.
Ouch! - but mostly correct (including the Tesla comparison...). I guess it depends how much profit they're making per unit - a low volume, high margin can probably survive in this sector, unlike the automotive sector.
Talking shit mate. While they might not be AudioFool, B*O has innovated in many respects and produce very natural sound. Every cartridge came with its own frequency chart, and the engineering that went into the 4000 that was not advertised was just incredible. They also invented HXPro, sold it to Dolby. That changed cassette deck recordings for so many.
They might not be to everyone's tastes but as a small company, they innovated and produced tech way ahead of their time... Did I mention they also have the worlds largest private speaker-test chamber?
Not impressed with this makeover personally though. Asking a lot and not even replacing the control board with a more modern design, platter wasn't level in the above video and they do not address a major issue with the 400x series which is strain to the keys when repeated pressing over years but hey ho..
@@ollyk22
Nope B&O sound nothing natural, heartless
@@vitorinomadeira5456 B&O have made some superb pieces. The Beolab 5000 system was professional standard with the tuner being used in many broadcast studios. The Beomaster 8000 was also made with the intention of making the best receiver possible at that time. The Beogram 4000 was massively over engineered and was very highly thought of, only being let down by the record support. Interestingly the later 4002 and 4004 were simplified but the sound was very similar. If you want a deck more likely to appeal to audiophiles, the Beogram 3000 would be your cup of tea - a Thorens TD124 motor unit with a B&O arm and cartridge - mine has the 12" version. I do have three 4000 series decks and although not the same as the 3000, they audition very well, especially with the 20CL cartridge as long as it is warm!
well if u cant afford it buy b&w or something like that. B&O is made for a small group of people and they will keep buying stuff
Mama Mia.

as of this moment, 2 people thumbing this video down have no clue what B&O means to the sound engineering industry! their loss ...
Rega planer 3 with a good cartridge will sure sound better
it is €10000 for a refurbished deck - are you mad? You would give this a thumbs up?
Why is there 2 arms and what does it do ?
The slightly longer arm is a sensor that works out where the beginning and end of the record is... A turntable ahead of its time..!
It looks stunning but I am sure they have added a PCB with bunch of 'digital' components that you will never find spares to have it repaired in 5 to 10 years, as all other B&O devices.
What type is the cartridge , and who produced it ?
Bang & Olufsen has always made their own cartridges. They offered 5 different models of cartridges for this unit depending on your budget. I still have my original B & O Turntable. I bought it brand new in 1979 and had it completely refurbished at Bang & Olufsen 5 years ago. I wouldn't trade it for any other turntable.
I suspect it is a Soundsmith one made for B&O.

Worth it €10000? I don’t think so.
The reason why Bang & Olufsen turntables are bad is that they no longer make replacement parts for the older turn tables. The turntables are made to work only with proprietary cartridge and stylus, which are impossible to find as new.
It was all grand until the stylus descended onto the turntable at speed and then landed with a loud click- ouch!! I expected a gentler descent.
When Bno were cutting edge
Now remake the beosystem 8000 with modern guts , a true high end statement of intent

The amount of time/money my uncle has spent getting B&O items of his repaired by B&O is enough for me to stay away.
Yes, but they are 40/50 years old now... So they would need a service... but the design and quality of these machines are superb and have stood the test of time....
@@dead_formats Totally understandable on an old machine but most of the required repairs have been on newer items from 2010+
@@dead_formats It is not in the age,it it is a quality thing,nice design,but not the quality to match the design and especially the price
@@dead_formats It costs pennies to get a Technics of the same vintage back in service. B&O were about design, not functionality or reliability.
9000 Euro?,think i can get a much better turntable for this price...
Too bad the control panel isn't that of the 4000, it's the later design of the 4002/4004. The original was much better looking, more fun to operate & more futuristic in design.

Kære Bang og Olufsen. Jeg sidder med hovedtelefoner på og ser jeres video om denne klassiker og glædes. Men ved ca 1:41 eller så når ordet core udtales er der en rigtig grim peak. Om det er støj eller en dårlig indtaling aner jeg ikke. Men for et firma der laver lyd-produkter er det ikke super genialt at det ikke er redigeret væk.....Im just saying
Sad my less old Beosound 1 is not that timeless. The CD’s laser did not work any longer and the service refused to repair the product because it was discontinued. That's the company policy, they said.

Records are very tactile , physically and aurally .
But ultimately a bad way to engineer music .
Form over function.
Very nice, I have a 4000 and 4002, but be honest here, how many of you all will pay £10,000 of yr hard earned cash on one?.. At this price they are footballer type things, sort of HiFi Arm Candy for those who will never appreciate the engineering which went into the originals or these new ones. Something to show off to their other footballer mates whilst snorting cocaine .. Sad really.

75000 danish kroner?????
What the fuck. It must be a bad joke.
Rega planer 3 will sound better, and that cost 6000 danish kroner.
Much too complex and finicky and the end result was a turntable that didn't sound that great. It's greatest weakness was too lean a bass and a rather bright tonal signature due to a platter that is too light and rings like a bell The table was quite prone to breakdown and then find someone capable of repairing it. The best sounding turntables (and most durable) are simple, yet elegant in design and solid and rigid in construction. Linn, Thorens, Ariston, AR and others of that ilk actually sounded better, more musical, extracting more info from the grooves in listening comparisons.
10000€ hahahahahah
Just buy a Rega planer 3 or 6 with a good cartridge, and you get better sound
