MMC20EManufactured: 1979 - 1985 Designer: Jacob Jensen Colours: BlackPrior to the release of MMC1 - 5 cartridges, Bang & Olufsen had the following MMC range of combined styli and cartridges:MMC cartridges were available with standard ½ mounting brackets, or with easy plug-in, lightweight connectors. These enabled you to mount MMC cartridges onto non-Bang & Olufsen arms. The cartridges plugged directly into Beogram pickup arms without additional mounting gearMMC 20 S was a stereo cartridge with a spherical framed diamondMMC 20 E was fitted with a framed elliptical diamond which has a high polishMMC 20EN had a naked elliptical diamond, mounted on a tiny tapered cantileverMMC 20 CL utilised a Contact Line naked diamond mounted on a single crystal sapphire cantilever. This shape ensures maximum groove contact. This was the most highly-specified cartridge in the MMC 20 rangeIn 1958, Bang & Olufsen introduced the first stereo pickup cartridge ever made in Europe. This was called the SP1. Since then, many design innovations and the creative use of new materials have kept B&Os cartridges at the forefront of audio technology. By 1979 - 80, Bang & Olufsens cartridges were represented by the MMC 20 series. 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lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed.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. The MMC20 series therefore represented the closest that modern technology at that time, could possibly afford.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.Bang & Olufsen cartridges have always been highly acclaimed for their low ETM values. The ETM of the MMC 20CL is a mere 0,3mg and in the standard MMC 20 range,, only 0,5mg.MMC cartridges were manufactured by Bang & Olufsen as totally integrated units. This means that the elements were matched, balanced and sealed at the factory. Using a computer-supported testing programme,, each sealed unit was meticulously tested and its performance information automatically registered and packed with each cartridge. The information given included output voltage, relative voltage output (channel balance), channel separation and frequency response. Individually-calibrated frequency response curves were also supplied with the higher-specified MMC 20CL cartridges.

bang olufsen beogram 1100 turntable Type 5705 with stylus MMC20s+ BEOMASTER 1900. Both are Untested apart from switching on . The turntable turns and seems to be working fine. It is in good cosmetic condition apart from the cover not sitting correctly. It will need looking at. The beomaster 1900 lights up then turns off in a few seconds. Im not technically minded so I refrain from attempting to fix it. So for that reason the beomaster and beogram is faulty and both sold as seen for spares or repair. Im willing to post but prefer the system to be picked up in person if possible Thank you for your interestOn 20-Jun-23 at 21:52:05 BST, seller added the following information: Please note, bought as faulty/ not working, no returns.

BANG & OLUFSEN MMC 10E CARTRIDGE includes the mounting adapter and hardware so it can be used with universal tonearms, or remove from adaptor and plug into B&O tonearm. Stylus has life left on it. No stylus guard. I acquired this with a vintage turntable that I purchased a while back. It works well and sounds great. Will be packaged securely.

bang olufsen beogram 1100 turntable Type 5705 with stylus MMC20s+ BEOMASTER 1900. Both are Untested apart from switching on . The turntable turns and seems to be working fine. It is in good cosmetic condition apart from the cover not sitting correctly. It will need looking at. The beomaster 1900 lights up then turns off in a few seconds. Im not technically minded so I refrain from attempting to fix it. So for that reason the beomaster and beogram is faulty and both sold as seen for spares or repair. Im willing to post but prefer the system to be picked up in person if possible Thank you for your interest

On the way home wed usually stop off to gaze lovingly into the window of the Bang & Olufsen shop, dreaming of the day when we would be able to stroll on in and Buy Something. B&O was what we aspired to - the Danish high end audio equipment manufacturers products were so impossibly exotic, so very different to anything else and so unattainably expensive that it wouldnt have looked out of place aboard Discovery One singing Daisy Daisy - only it would have done so much better than HAL did, because B&O usually had the go to go with the show. The BeoGram 1100 pre-dates my teenage years by quite a margin - in fact, when it was possible to buy a brand new one I was far more interested in stuff like sweets and Bagpuss than high-end audiophile hi-fi gear, being two years old when it was introduced in 1976. Nevertheless, it was among the very best of the best back in that era, just like the stuff I gazed at so longingly nearly 20 years later - and it has to be said that Jacob Jensens industrial brushed aluminium and rosewood design has stood the test of time far better than a lot of other stuff from the mid-70s. Whats more important, of course, is how it sounds - and it needs to be said at this point that some B&O stuff doesnt sound quite as good as it looks. Not so the 1100 - we hooked it up to a BeoMaster 1100 amp and a pair of Beovox 530 speakers we just happened to have around the place (check our listings if you want em!) and gave it a bit of a test with Led Zepp 4, Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures and a couple of Aphex Twin EPs (thus killing two birds with one stone by also play testing some of our pending Discogs uploads) and...well...the sound is just about perfect. Warm, rich, silky smooth bass, crisp mid range, razor sharp trebles, precise resolution (even with old Richard D.s murkiest basslines) and, as promised by the specs, not a trace of noticeable distortion even turned all the way up. Right now, the BeoGram is bizarrely overlooked and fetching prices far lower than more complicated yet inferior rivals from the same era, but with the vinyl resurgence showing no signs of slowing its only a matter of time before someone notices just how good it is and values rise. Like all the mains-powered electronics we sell, its been professionally PAT tested and certified safe to use with the power cable and UK-type plug supplied with it. Overall, condition is very good - theres a little sticky tape residue here and there and a few minor scuffs and scrapes as expected with used gear of this vintage, but no dents or deep scratches to either the metal or the woodwork; the perspex cover has some scratches but, unusually, no cracks. There may be some specks of dried paint, but it wasnt difficult to remove the ones we found; there is no corrosion and all the controls are intact and still doing their jobs - the MMC 20 E elliptical diamond stylus fitted is still in decent order, but some people will probably want to replace it with a new one. Please note that the original packaging is lost, with the exception of the polystyrene insert designed to keep the platter and tonearm safe during transportation; we will use this for shipping. The manual has also been lost.
