Please message me for that serviceTESTIMONIALS The MMC 20EN combined cartridge/stylus from Bang & Olufsen was fitted with a naked elliptical diamond, mounted on a tiny tapered cantilever. It had been designed for top of the range record decks such as the Beogram 4002 and 4004. It followed the MMC 4000 cartridge and kept the naked elliptical diamond stylus which had been fitted to its predecessor. Performance for the MMC 20EN was excellent. It was highly regarded by Bang & Olufsen enthusiasts and black vinyl aficionados alike and had been designed especially for record decks which used tangential arms such as the Beogram 4002 when it could read SQ 4-channel quadraphonic-encoded matrix records. It could of course read both monophonic and stereophonic records as well.The MMC 20E is supplied with an elliptical naked diamond stylus with a recommended tracking force of 1g. As with all the MMC range each cartridge was an integrated unit especially to permit the best possible performance. It gave an excellent frequency rate with high channel separationAny of the MMC range of cartridges can be substituted for another model in the range. The cartridge was superceded by the MMC3 but these were for newer phomographs and used a different connector. Radius of curvature: 5 x 1,7 mmFrequency range: 20 - 25000 Hz+/- 1,5dBChannel separation: 1000Hz > 20dB, 40 - 10000Hz > 20dBChannel difference: <1,5dBIntermodulation: <1%Recommended stylus pressure: 1gCompliance: 30 x 10(-6)cm/dyneEffective tip mass: 0,4mgOutput: mV/cm/sec. 0,6mV/47kOhms MMC stands for Moving Micro-Cross; the patented moving-iron principle upon which all B&O cartridges were based. This unique system employed a cross-shaped armature which, among other advantages, guaranteed exceptional stereo separation since each channel moves on a separate axis.The job of any pickup cartridge is to transform the records physical profile (groove modulation) into corresponding electrical signals (which are then amplified or enlarged by the amplifier and turned into audible sound waves by the loudspeaker.A cartridge must perform three separate and exacting tasks if it is to do this job successfully. It must function mechanically (the movements of the stylus in the groove); it must function magnetically (using the physical movements to create changes in a magnetic field); and it must function electrically (using the changes in magnetic flux to generate an electrical current). At each stage, one type of energy is transferred into another, quite different, type. And the transfer must be perfect, with no energy lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed. However, by understanding the relationships between the three transfer stages and continually applying refined engineering techniques, B&Os belief was that each stage of cartridge improvement would bring each successive cartridge closer to the ideal. Record wear and the cartridgeIf you take music seriously the value of your record collection is likely to be high. Many of your records are likely to be irreplaceable. You will also know that the signals pressed into your vinyl discs are very fragile indeed. The pickup cartridge can be the discs worse enemy since an ill-suited cartridge can mark a record for life in a single play.While B&O is aware that cartridge specifications are inter-related, their research shows consistently that Effective Tip Mass (ETM) is one of the major factors affecting record wear. ETM is the equivalent of the amount of inertia the groove sees in moving or accelerating the stylus tip. Consequently, the higher the ETM value, the higher the force required for a given constant acceleration. Obviously, more force results in more wear.Three elements contribute to ETM. The stylus tip (diamond) contributes with its entire weight and mass. The armature contributes between 5 - 20% of its weight and mass; the cantilever around 30%. B&O has been able to reduce ETM substantially by refining these elements and building them into an integrated unit. The result is a system which not only reduces damage to the groove walls dramatically, but also provides exceptional performance at all frequencies.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. Eg, air, surface, express, economy. I ALWAYS SEND WITH QUALITY PACKAGING, TRACKING AND INSURANCE. IF IN ANY DOUBT PLEASE ASK FOR A QUOTE. I NEED YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR THISPostage/Carriage charges:You may have noticed that these has risen lately. Insurance has almost doubled and many carriers will not accept turntables, speakers or amplifiers, meaning I have to find a specialist. Im sorry that these have to be passed onto you.

These include a Beocenter 2200, Beocenter 7007, Beovox S45 speakers. I recognise the tight deadlines that you have to work to and the immediacy you often have to work under.

Recent installations have ranged from a single Beocenter being connected to the existing speakers and unit for an 89-years young-lady for a few hundred pounds to a multi-room, Beocenter, Beogram, Beovox and B&O dedicated cabinet and stands combination, with remote control, for a few thousand pounds.Please use the ask a question feature to access the pre-sales telephone number to discuss your requirements.SOURCING SERVICE:Cant find that B&O product that youve yearned for since you were a kid?

It lets us know that you are happy, if not delirious, about your purchase.

    CLASSIC Bang and Olufsen Beogram 2000 type 5721 with MMC20CL and original box and packaging. Very good condition the lid opens and closes smoothly and will stay open when lifted. Veneer generally very good with only small piece missing on the front left hand corner see photos. Cartridge in good working order and the MMC20CL is a better cartridge then the MMC20EN that originally came with the Beogram 2200. Buttons operate as intended. Here’s some additional information from the Beoworld website … BeoGram 2200 Record Deck Manufactured: 1978 - 1980 Designer: Jacob Jensen Colours: Rosewood, Teak, White, Oak Beogram 2200/2400 were identical except that, when coupled to the Beomaster 2400, Beogram 2400 could also be operated by remote control. To play records on either model it was necessary to simply press START and let the automatic system do the rest. As an additional safeguard, all functions could be operated with the protective lid closed. The electronic servo drive system kept turntable speed constant and correct, even during fluctuations in the mains supply. Careful arm geometry ensured that tracking angle was kept well below the level where it could affect the quality of the reproduced sound. Bias effect was compensated automatically and needed no adjustment. The extreme lightness of the arm, together with the highly polished elliptical diamond carried by the MMC 20E pickup in the 2200, resulted in an unusually low Effective Tip Mass (ETM). This means that your records would suffer very little wear, even after continual playing. Neither would they be damaged if the stylus was accidentally skidded across the surface. Beogram 2200/2400 could be made up as part of the Beosystem 2200 when linked together with other compatible Bang & Olufsen products.

Please message me for that serviceTESTIMONIALS The MMC 20EN combined cartridge/stylus from Bang & Olufsen was fitted with a naked elliptical diamond, mounted on a tiny tapered cantilever. It had been designed for top of the range record decks such as the Beogram 4002 and 4004. It followed the MMC 4000 cartridge and kept the naked elliptical diamond stylus which had been fitted to its predecessor. Performance for the MMC 20EN was excellent. It was highly regarded by Bang & Olufsen enthusiasts and black vinyl aficionados alike and had been designed especially for record decks which used tangential arms such as the Beogram 4002 when it could read SQ 4-channel quadraphonic-encoded matrix records. It could of course read both monophonic and stereophonic records as well.The MMC 20E is supplied with an elliptical naked diamond stylus with a recommended tracking force of 1g. As with all the MMC range each cartridge was an integrated unit especially to permit the best possible performance. It gave an excellent frequency rate with high channel separationAny of the MMC range of cartridges can be substituted for another model in the range. The cartridge was superceded by the MMC3 but these were for newer phomographs and used a different connector. Radius of curvature: 5 x 1,7 mmFrequency range: 20 - 25000 Hz+/- 1,5dBChannel separation: 1000Hz > 20dB, 40 - 10000Hz > 20dBChannel difference: <1,5dBIntermodulation: <1%Recommended stylus pressure: 1gCompliance: 30 x 10(-6)cm/dyneEffective tip mass: 0,4mgOutput: mV/cm/sec. 0,6mV/47kOhms MMC stands for Moving Micro-Cross; the patented moving-iron principle upon which all B&O cartridges were based. This unique system employed a cross-shaped armature which, among other advantages, guaranteed exceptional stereo separation since each channel moves on a separate axis.The job of any pickup cartridge is to transform the records physical profile (groove modulation) into corresponding electrical signals (which are then amplified or enlarged by the amplifier and turned into audible sound waves by the loudspeaker.A cartridge must perform three separate and exacting tasks if it is to do this job successfully. It must function mechanically (the movements of the stylus in the groove); it must function magnetically (using the physical movements to create changes in a magnetic field); and it must function electrically (using the changes in magnetic flux to generate an electrical current). At each stage, one type of energy is transferred into another, quite different, type. And the transfer must be perfect, with no energy lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed. However, by understanding the relationships between the three transfer stages and continually applying refined engineering techniques, B&Os belief was that each stage of cartridge improvement would bring each successive cartridge closer to the ideal. Record wear and the cartridgeIf you take music seriously the value of your record collection is likely to be high. Many of your records are likely to be irreplaceable. You will also know that the signals pressed into your vinyl discs are very fragile indeed. The pickup cartridge can be the discs worse enemy since an ill-suited cartridge can mark a record for life in a single play.While B&O is aware that cartridge specifications are inter-related, their research shows consistently that Effective Tip Mass (ETM) is one of the major factors affecting record wear. ETM is the equivalent of the amount of inertia the groove sees in moving or accelerating the stylus tip. Consequently, the higher the ETM value, the higher the force required for a given constant acceleration. Obviously, more force results in more wear.Three elements contribute to ETM. The stylus tip (diamond) contributes with its entire weight and mass. The armature contributes between 5 - 20% of its weight and mass; the cantilever around 30%. B&O has been able to reduce ETM substantially by refining these elements and building them into an integrated unit. The result is a system which not only reduces damage to the groove walls dramatically, but also provides exceptional performance at all frequencies.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. Eg, air, surface, express, economy. I ALWAYS SEND WITH QUALITY PACKAGING, TRACKING AND INSURANCE. IF IN ANY DOUBT PLEASE ASK FOR A QUOTE. I NEED YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR THISPostage/Carriage charges:You may have noticed that these has risen lately. Insurance has almost doubled and many carriers will not accept turntables, speakers or amplifiers, meaning I have to find a specialist. Im sorry that these have to be passed onto you.
