Redefining Audio Luxury: Introducing the Beosystem 3000c by Bang & Olufsen, a Modern Take on a Timeless Design
Danish audio brand Bang & Olufsen resurrects the Beogram 3000 turntable in a limited-edition system, the Beosystem 3000c. Originally introduced in 1985, this sophisticated music system is the latest release in Bang & Olufsen's Recreated Classics series, which aims to provide second lives for iconic products. Only 100 units of the Beosystem 3000c, individually numbered, will be available.
Retaining the original 1985 design with a “floating” appearance and refined control panel, the Beosystem 3000c features a precision-machined solid walnut back cover, a new aluminum control panel, a dust lid, fabric cables, and a future-ready pickup cartridge. Anodized aluminum parts are remanufactured and finished for a polished touch.
Paired with contemporary Beolab 8 stereo speakers in a coordinated artisan walnut finish, the Beosystem 3000c offers a seamless blend of the ritual of playing vinyl with today’s listening habits. By allowing users to enjoy both vinyl records and digital music wirelessly, the system appeals to both audiophiles and design enthusiasts.
According to Mads Kogsgaard Hansen, head of product circularity and portfolio planning at Bang & Olufsen, their Recreated Classics series aims to honor the cultural impact of vinyl listening while showcasing the long-lasting value of Bang & Olufsen products. The Beosystem 3000c, he says, invites customers to rediscover vinyl collections and appreciate the emotional richness of music as it was meant to be heard.
The Beosystem 3000c will be available for purchase starting from select Bang & Olufsen stores and its website, ban-olufsen.com, on May 27, 2025, for a price of approximately $30,000 USD (€26,000).
