In a move that harmoniously blends heritage with contemporary desire, Bang & Olufsen has unveiled the Beosystem 3000c, a stunningly refined music system designed to captivate audiophiles and design connoisseurs alike. This ultra-exclusive offering marks the triumphant return of the iconic Beogram 3000 turntable, originally conceived in 1985, now meticulously recreated and paired with modern Beolab 8 stereo speakers. Presented in a unified Artisan Walnut finish, the system is strictly limited to just 100 individually numbered sets worldwide.
The Beosystem 3000c represents a masterful bridge between the cherished ritual of vinyl playback and the fluidity of today’s digital listening habits. It promises a powerful and deeply tactile experiencewhere analogue warmth coexists effortlessly with modern streaming capabilities, all housed within one timeless system. This launch is the third chapter in Bang & Olufsen’s acclaimed Recreated Classics series, a dedicated program breathing new life into the brand’s most iconic products through expert restoration, thoughtful reengineering, and sensitive aesthetic reinterpretation.
Handcrafted walnut and meticulously re-anodised aluminium are the defining materials, uniting past and present. Every component has been preserved, cleaned, upgraded, and crucially, future-proofedby Bang & Olufsen’s specialist team in Struer, Denmark. This commitment ensures longevity far beyond initial expectations.
“Through our Recreated Classics series, we honour the cultural impact of vinyl listening while showcasing the long-lasting value of Bang & Olufsen products, even beyond their first lifecycle,” explains Mads Kogsgaard Hansen, Director of Product Circularity & 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.”
The original 1985 Beogram 3000 was revolutionary, incorporating Bang & Olufsen’s pioneering tangential tracking technology into a more compact, electronically automated form. Its floating appearance and refined control panel cemented its status as a design icon. The Beogram 3000cmeticulously preserves this intent while elevating it with modern craftsmanship. Key updates include a precision-machined solid walnut back cover, a new aluminium control panel, a refined dust lid, bespoke fabric cables, and a future-ready pickup cartridge. Original aluminium parts have been painstakingly remanufactured and finished in exquisite pearl-blasted and brushed treatments at Bang & Olufsen’s dedicated Factory 5.
Completing this symphony of design and sound, the Beolab 8 stereo speakers mirror the turntable’s exceptional craftsmanship. Featuring matching walnut lamellas and pearl-blasted aluminium shells, they create a visually and acoustically cohesive experience. Together, the turntable and speakers deliver deep, dynamic sound, whether enveloping the listener in the rich analogue warmth of a vinyl record or streaming a crystal-clear digital playlist.
More than just a high-fidelity system, the Beosystem 3000c is a profound celebration of enduring craftsmanship, unwavering sonic excellence, and Bang & Olufsen’s fundamental belief that truly great design deserves to last – and be cherished – for generations.
