The Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c is based on the 1985 Beogram 3000, complete with modern Beolab 8 stereo speakers

As cliché as it sounds, old is gold, and Bang & Olufsen’s Recreated Classics Programme continues to make a case for it, breathing new life into its most iconic and sought-after products. The brand hunts down pre-loved examples and buys them back for restoration, reengineering and more.

The latest to get a makeover is the Beosystem 3000c. Originally introduced as the Beogram 3000 in 1985, the turntable is now an upgraded and updated vinyl-based system. The original features have been preserved, cleaned, upgraded and fully future-proofed by Bang & Olufsen’s team of specialists in Struer, Denmark, while the addition of a pair of modern Beolab 8 stereo speakers offer a beautiful walnut-aluminium finish that create a cohesive visual and acoustic experience.

Limited to 100 individually numbered sets, the new Beosystem 3000c seamlessly bridges the hands-on ritual of playing vinyl with contemporary ease, offering a tactile experience enriched with WiFi, Bluetooth and Bang & Olufsen’s latest iteration of its streaming software, the Mozart Platform.

“Through our Recreated Classics series, we honour the cultural impact of vinyl listening while showcasing the long-lasting value of Bang & Olufsen products, even beyond their first lifecycle,” said Mads Kogsgaard Hansen, head of product circularity and portfolio planning, in a statement to Forbes. “The Beosystem 3000c invites our customers to rediscover their vinyl collections and enjoy the emotional richness of music as it was meant to be heard, while effortlessly integrating into how we listen today.”
