Revisiting B&O’s classic Beogram 4000 turntable

For nearly three decades, pioneering designer Jacob Jensen gave form to the vision of luxury Danish consumer electronics company, Bang & Olufsen. In this video, Jensen’s son, Timothy Jacob Jensen, recalls how B&O’s classic Beogram 4000 turntable came to life, back in the day.

Launched in the Seventies, the Beogram 4000 series turntable defined the aesthetic of an era: becoming a classic with music lovers, collected by art museums and included in design history books, and its influence can still be seen and heard today.

Today, marking the brand’s 95th year of creating remarkable experiences, Bang & Olufsen’s Beogram 4000c Recreated Limited Edition sources 95 original units of this most iconic of turntables, restoring them for contemporary sound systems, while maintaining the timeless spirit at their core.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
