Bang & Olufsen - Beocord 5000 - Type 4921 Cassette recorder-player

A high-quality cassette deck perfectly tuned to the Beomaster 5000 as part of the Beosystem 5000. When both devices were used together, the cassette deck could be operated entirely by remote control.

The Beocord 5000 was highly advanced both technically and in its control systems. For ambitious home-studio musicians, it offered outstanding sound quality and precise engineering. Bang & Olufsen’s patented HX PRO recording system, the Dolby B and Dolby C noise reduction, and a six-head Canon combination head with a 1.8 mm gap contributed to a recording and playback performance that even demanding sound engineers could appreciate.

For beginners and technically inexperienced music lovers, the Beocord 5000 offered an exceptionally simple way to create high-quality recordings and then enjoy them relaxed.

The Beocord’s control system offered every convenience. There was a START/GO function that rewound the tape to its beginning and played it without further instructions. And an automatic ADVANCE function (tape search) that could locate the start of any desired track from either end of the tape.

The choice between ferric, chromium, and metal tapes was fully automatic, and setting the correct recording level was quick and easy using the input controls and LED level indicators. It was possible to switch rapidly between different tape-transport modes (e.g., from playback to fast reverse) without risking tape jamming or mechanical damage.

The cassette compartment and the direct-control controls were housed in a motorized drawer that could be opened and closed by touch. In conjunction with the Beomaster 5000, the Beocord 5000 could of course be programmed to automatically record or playback at any time.

Connections: stereo microphone (DIN); DIN auxiliary input; data link to Beomaster 5000 (one connector, switchable to 3 modes)

The unit has been serviced and fitted with a new belt kit.
