Please message me for that serviceTESTIMONIALS BeoMaster 5500 Tuner/AmplifierManufactured: 1986 - 1989Designer: Jacob JensenColours: Aluminium, WhiteBeomaster 5500 was the brains and heart of the system which it made up. Connected by Datalink to the record player, tape player and CD Player it allowed the user to remote-control the whole system via the Master Control Panel. The 2 x 60 watt/8 ohm tuner/amplifier gave true hi-fi quality. Bang & Olufsens Automatic Power Handling Control system prevented overloading and distortion, regardless of how many speakers were connected. Up to 20 stations on the tuner could be preset and the frequency synthesizer took care of automatic search and fine tuning of stations. The result - superb reception of LW, MW and FM wavebands and impressive ease of use.Beomaster 5500 was aesthetically balanced to match the rest of the components within Beosystem 5500These days, these receivers are the cheapest of the Beolink 1000 controlled stackable systems. They do have the huge advantage of having not only DIN connectors but also a full complement of RCA plugs. This actually makes them ideal for present day use as the extra connections allow computer and digital music connections in addition to usual sources. The need to replace the Beomaster 5000 with the 5500 came as part of a very welcome move towards rationalisation and integration of the various products in the B&O range, aimed at making the link system more useful and bringing audio and video sources closer together. The introduction of the A, AV and V Terminals (later combined in the Beolink 1000) and the inclusion of 7-pin audio link sockets on products such as the new LX television range were all signs of this, and what was needed to complete the new range were suitable audio products to complete the systems. The Beomaster 5500 and the Beocenter 9000 were the first of these.The position of the Beomaster 5500 in the range had changed too, with the Beomaster 6000 deleted it was now the top of the range, so all the latest technical refinements had to be included.The basic appearance changed very little. One obvious change what that there was now a miniature 3.5mm headphone jack visible below the aluminium strip across the front of the set. This was necessary because the front panel no longer opened, so the large concealed socket that the Beomaster 5000 had featured was no longer a practical fitment. It may have been argued that with remote control the buttons behind the opening front were no longer needed, but the reason for the change is more likely to have been connected with cost cutting. More evidence of this policy could be found inside, with a lighter, simpler build evident throughout. The radio section in particular was drastically reduced in size and complexity, and now relied heavily on semiconductors from Sanyo of Japan. The radio panel was in fact the same as the one used in the Beocenter 9000. The socket panel was also simplified, though an extra DIN socket was provided so that the CD and AUX inputs were now separate, and new 4-pin loudspeaker sockets made their first appearance. These were used with Beolab Penta loudspeakers, the extra pins carried data for the displays fitted to these models. The front panel display was simplified and no longer opened like the Beomaster 5000.In use, the Beomaster 5500 was as powerful and capable as ever. Operated with either the Beolink 1000 or the redesigned Master Control Panel 5500, a large range of sources and operating possibilities could be called up easily. When used with the Beolab Penta loudspeakers (the recommended choice), as much power was available as had been with the mighty Beolab 8000 system.The cabinet finishes and colours remained the same as the 5000 system, grey with satin aluminium.WORLDWIDE carriage may cost more OR LESS!! than the listing states (I have to enter an estimated figure) and will be charged in full as per the service chosen and destination country.

I NEED YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR THISPostage/Carriage charges: You may have noticed that these has risen lately. The most recent increase is because Ebay are taking 10% of sellers postal fees for their own profit. Before this, both Royal Mail and Hermes increased their charges, particularly for smaller items.

We also try to recycle packaging as much as we can but it will always be top quality and we usually double-box where appropriate too.DELIVERY TO CHINA, ISRAEL, AUSTRALASIA, INDIA, RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND SOUTH AMERICA WILL BE ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE QUOTED INTERNATIONAL PRICE.
