#BEST POWER CABLE FOR VINTAGE STEREO AUDIO TUNER SERIAL NUMBER#
It is one of the earlier 2903 units (1976-1979), with serial number 15812. The unit under review has been carefully restored and now belongs to my personal collection of vintage HiFi components. The Beomaster 1900 became so popular and highly demanded that its remote controlled version (the Beomaster 2400) had to be delayed. This switches on a sensitive transistor which then activates the desired function. The sensi-touch controls were unique! When one touches the panel, one's whole body becomes an antenna, which couples random electrical noise into a plate just beneath the Beomaster's front panel. It had connections for two pairs of speakers, headphones, turntable (with built-in RIAA stage) and cassette recorder. The volume level was adjustable via three pre-sets (low, medium or high). The Beomaster 1900 was a 2 x 20 watts RMS 8 ohms) amplifier with THD distortion of less than 0,07%, a tuner with five pre-set FM stations and comprehensive connection facilities. All the secondary features and adjustments were protected by a hinged lid, but a glamorous illuminated readout panel showed the receiver's operational status at a glance. Its most attractive and innovative feature was the presence of touch-sensitive controls for operating all the most frequently used switches. The Beomaster 1900 was a receiver way ahead of its time. It has been manufactured between 19, and its designer was Jacob Jensen. The most famous Beomaster is the 1900 model from 1976, as it was the first consumer electronics product with touch controls, called “Sensi-touch”. Beomaster was the model name for all receivers made by B&O. Another highly desired component was the Beogram 1400 turntable (1972). One of those dream components was indeed this Beomaster 1900 receiver.
When I was a kid, B&O HiFi components were all the rage, but definitely too expensive for me to afford one. The 1900 receiver I'm about to review won the Industrial Design Award in 1976.
In 1978, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City held an exhibition dedicated to Bang & Olufsen designs. David Lewis, another famous designer, became involved with B&O in 1965 and designed most of the company's products after 1980. Founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, the company has recently decided to suspend the manufacture of separate HiFi components, but they continue to develop and market loudspeakers (known as Beolab), headphones (Beoplay), a revamped version of their vintage Beogram 4000 turntable and Class D power modules (via IcePower subsidiary).īy 1960, B&O had begun to release outstanding components designed by star designers like Henning Moldenhawer and Jacob Jensen.
