Bang & Olufsen Say…..
BeoSound 9000 is unique in both its design and its capabilities.
With their pristine sound and compact size, CDs pushed the boundaries of audio and remained the benchmark for digital audio quality for decades. The high-quality sound performance of CDs allowed listeners to get a nearly bit for bit playback of tracks as they came out of the mastering studio. Not only did they represent a significant leap forward in audio technology, but they also catalysed a transformative period in the music industry marked by increased creativity and artistic expression.
While CDs disrupted the music industry, Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound 9000 disrupted the concept of the CD player with its revolutionary design, first debuted in 1996 at the height of CDs’ popularity. The visual component of CDs inspired renowned industrial designer David Lewis to come up with BeoSound 9000’s design.
According to legend, Lewis’ idea to display six CDs linearly as the design for BeoSound 9000 came to him as he walked past a record store in London which had laid out six CDs in a row in the window.
The sleek and innovative design of BeoSound 9000 included a motorised glass lid, touch-sensitive buttons and state-of-the-art technology that allowed listeners to swiftly switch between tracks and CDs in a matter of seconds, all while displaying the listener’s favourite albums.
BeoSound 9000 quickly became a symbol of status and sophistication, immortalised in pop culture through its countless appearances in movies and television shows – a testament to the CD player’s cultural significance. Whether in Miranda’s home in ‘Sex and The City’, Matthew McConaughey’s apartment in ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’, or Pete’s apartment in the cult sitcom ‘Friends’, BeoSound 9000 is continuously portrayed as a coveted object of desire that speaks to the spectator.
Changing between CDs on the BeoSound 9000 is not just a function - it's a designed experience. Watch the CD carriage accelerate with the speed of a racing car; only to softly apply the brakes just before the disc of your choice. A clever combination of software algorithms and mechanical engineering bypasses gravity and makes sure
that it's exactly the same no matter if the BeoSound 9000 is placed in a horizontal or vertical position.
BeoSound 9000 makes a strong statement with your music - but leaves it up to you to decide exactly how...
Music may not be essential to life, but it's hard to live without it. That's why BeoSound 9000 makes such a big thing about bringing your music out into the open and letting you create your own personal jukebox with the music that means the most to you.
