The Beosysten 900c is a revival of the CD player from the 1990’s and comes with the modern Beolab 28 speakers.
The new system features a fully restored and reimagined Beosound 9000 CD player from the 1990’s paired with Bang & Olufsen’s modern Beolab 28 speakers. Following the Beogram 4000c recreated turntable in 2020, Beosystem 9000c is the second project in the recreated classics series.
The music system comes with a Beoremote One that allows users to control their entire setup but can also be controlled via the Beolab 28 speakers, or through an app. On the Beolab 28s, the physical interface on top of the speakers lights up, which makes it possible to playback, skip tracks and control the volume. With four favourite buttons, users can add their preferred radio stations via B&O Radio or a playlist from their favourite music streaming service. Airplay 2, Chromecast and Bluetooth 5.0 also gives users the choice of connectivity.
To achieve the various finishes on the speaker, the aluminium has been hairline brushed, etched and pearl-blasted in Bang & Olufsen’s Factory 5 in Struer, Denmark. All aluminium elements of Beosound 9000 are the original parts that have been re-machined and re-anodised to create unity between products.
The motorised glass lid of Beosound 9000 opens and closes in the same uniform movement whether it is lying down, standing up or hanging on the wall. Two optical sensors and a digital time control constantly monitor the door which opens and closes within the set time limit of 3.5 to 4.0 seconds. When switched on the curtains on the Beolab 28 speakers slide aside and the speakers are ready. The position of the curtains indicates whether the beam width is in narrow or wide mode, where narrow mode minimises wall reflections and wide mode widens the listening area by diffusing the sound around the room.
