BeoMaster 900

                     BeoMaster 900 Radio

The first product of the new era was launched in 1964.

Beomaster 900 was a fully transistorised radio with FM stereo radio. It was even launched in a version with two built-in speakers - Beomaster 900K - making it clear to everyone that it contained two independent stereo loudspeakers. Bang & Olufsen wanted to design a product so unique that it would open the doors to distribution throughout Europe, in the same way as the “Five Lamper” had done in Denmark 30 years earlier .
