DesignProductA Cool Piece of '72: The Iconic Record Player
Products - 2024 -
“If we had compromised, Bang & Olufsen wouldn’t exist,” said Jacob Jensen. True to this philosophy, this record player features a polished, futuristic design that remains timeless.
Before his legendary tenure at Bang & Olufsen, Jensen worked at the Danish design firm Bernadotte & Bjørn from 1952 to 1958. There, he designed the Margrethe Bowl for Rosti, a major success that brought him his first significant financial gain.
By 1964, he began his journey with Bang & Olufsen, eventually serving as Chief Designer around 1972, the year the Beogram 4000 was born.

The Beogram 4000 is defined by its linear tracking arm and intuitive control buttons, which bear a striking resemblance to a modern laptop’s touchpad.

Another hallmark of Jensen’s design is the beautifully integrated meters—they are simply cool.
The logo at the tip of the arm glows red, adding to its sophisticated edge. When in operation, the arm glides horizontally with effortless precision.
The Revival: Beogram 4000c
In 2020, the company announced the Beogram 4000c—a revival model with the subtle addition of a "c" to its name. These are Refurbished units, meticulously restored and priced at 10,000 euros. Shimmering in gold, this exclusive edition was limited to just 100 units.
