B&O-Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000c
The original iconic turntable which set the standard for all record players that came after – reimagined for contemporary use.
This product is no longer a part of our active product portfolio. From time to time, we have recreated classics of other models such as Beogram 4002, 4004 etc. Note: images shown are for illustration purposes only and subject to vary based on model.
Launched in the 1970s, the Beogram 4000 series turntables defined the aesthetic of an era: becoming a classic with music lovers, collected by art museums and included in design history books.
An icon. Reimagined.
We wanted to revisit the Beogram turntables to celebrate how there are unchanging values which make a product beautiful and unique. Values that have held true at Bang & Olufsen since 1925.
Now, with the Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Editions, we meticulously source and restore original units. These editions honour our rich heritage, celebrating timeless values while adapting to the modern sound systems.
The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Editions is the first instance of Bang & Olufsen’s Classics Initiative: in the near future we will be revisiting more of our most iconic products, reimagining them for now and coming decades.
Recreated by our own experts
Each original Beogram has been worked on by a dedicated team of skilled engineers, technicians and craftspeople at our facilities in Struer, Denmark. Our experts clean, refurbish and fine-tune every single element of the record players by hand.
Step 1
Disassembly and inspection
The Beogram 4000 series reimagining process begins by bringing the selected turntables back home to Struer, Denmark – the same facilities where they were created. Every Beogram is disassembled manually then thoroughly inspected to assess each unit’s needs.
Step 2
Refurbishment and restoration
Every single component of each Beogram is painstakingly cleaned. New parts are added – from the smallest screw and ball bearing to the drive belt – ensuring perfect functionality. Once this process is complete, each Beogram is individually tested then fine-tuned until we know it will achieve the precision performance we demand from all of our products.
Step 3
Recreation and upgrade
We then create new design elements – from the hand-crafted wooden frame to an updated finish on the minimalistic and intuitive control pad – to enhance the original beauty of the Beogram. Our final step is to upgrade the technology – installing a preamplifier and adding a new pickup cartridge – to make the Beogram easily integrate with contemporary home speaker setups.
Using Beogram today
Times change, the way we listen to music changes, but the beauty of refined sound and powerful music will never change. Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition has been updated with a built-in preamplifier to make it fully integrate with all contemporary home sound systems. This means that it’s easy to plug in the Beogram 4000c and immediately immerse yourself in the unique, warm analogue sound of vinyl.
Innovative looks, innovative technology
The innovative tangential tonearm was striking in its day, and part of the reason the original Beogram was an instant classic. But it wasn’t for looks. The way the tonearm was built made it able to play vinyl at an angle that was as close as possible to the way the record was cut. This made it truthful to the original recording, staying honest to the artist’s intentions.
Fits into your home
The Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition refreshes and complements the original look and feel of the record player: the original aluminium has been polished and anodised to allow the material to glow. The crafting of a wooden frame adds warmth and intimacy to the touch. The addition of a new cover accentuates the Beogram as an elegant, subtle object in your living space.

Value for Money
82/100
Precise, quietly luxurious, and beautifully controlled, the Beogram 4000c leans into low-noise playback and tangential-tracking finesse. HiFi News praises its taut bass, solid soundstage, and near-CD clarity, while Inner Magazines hears a neutral, detailed, harmonious presentation that stays effortless from record to record.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Exceptionally clean, low-noise playback with minimal surface noise and a tightly focused presentation.
Accurate, neutral, and highly detailed sound with strong high-frequency retrieval and natural cymbal texture.
Taut bass, a large soundstage, and strong vocal center presence give music convincing scale and organization.
Automatic operation, record-size sensing, and tangential tracking make it unusually easy to use for a vintage deck.
&
Cons
Its presentation favors precision over warmth or vinyl character, so listeners seeking a richer, more traditional analog signature may find it restrained.
Warped records can trigger audible swishing noise because the platter design offers little room for clamping correction.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
Reviewers describe a highly accurate, neutral presentation with strong detail retrieval and a big, well-ordered soundstage. The deck is praised for taut bass, smooth highs, and a lack of surface noise, with the caveat that it aims for precision rather than the richer, more characterful sound some vinyl listeners prefer.
Overall Sound
93/100
HiFi News says it can be hard to tell whether the source is vinyl or CD, which underlines how clean and precise the presentation is. Inner Magazines describes the sound as accurate, neutral, harmonious, and very detailed, though not quite the most exuberant or emotionally forceful turntable in absolute terms.
Speed Stability
90/100
The reviews point to carefully controlled speed behavior, with an electrically controlled synchronous motor, precision oscillator, automatic speed selection, and fine tuning. That said, the evidence is more about competent, confidence-inspiring control than repeated superlative praise for pitch rock-solidness.
Tonearm Performance
93/100
The tangential arm is widely presented as a core strength because it avoids tracking error and helps the inner grooves play more cleanly. Reviewers also note the arm's precision servo drive and automatic movement, while still leaving a little room for caution with phrases like 'at least in theory'.
Noise Isolation
90/100
HiFi News specifically highlights the absence of surface noise, and the floating subframe architecture is presented as a major part of that success. The reviews suggest very good isolation and a very low noise floor, though they do not build a case for truly extraordinary silence beyond that.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
91/100
Reviewers describe a cast subframe, sturdy platter bearing assembly, chrome rails, and a precision servo motor, all of which point to serious engineering. The comments support a well-made, carefully restored design, but they stop short of lavish praise for craftsmanship or durability on an exceptional level.
Features Usability
93/100
This is a very easy turntable to live with by vintage high-end standards: automatic pickup movement, automatic record-size detection, automatic speed selection, electronic lift, and fine speed adjustment all make it unusually user-friendly. The reviews support strong convenience and setup confidence, but they do not frame the usability as uniquely best-in-class.
Value for Money
82/100
The reviews are respectful of the sound and engineering, but the quoted 10,000 euro asking price hangs over the discussion. One review notes that the batch sold out quickly, which shows demand, yet there is no strong claim that it is a bargain or obviously the best buy at that level.
