What kind of motor does the Beogram 8000 use?
Andrew Campbell What kind of motor does the Beogram 8000 use?
The Beogram 8000 used a new system called “Tangential Drive”, a form of direct drive that used “linear motor” technology to give smooth, silent and controllable power to the turntable. In simple terms, the motor coils placed a magnetic field at a tangent to a metal drum under the platter.
How are rotations counted in the Beogram 8000?
In the Beogram 8000, the rotations of the lead screw that moved the arm were counted so that the microprocessor always knew exactly where the arm was. Because of this, all the important positions could be stored in the program memory and this was free of drift and wear.

What kind of turntable was the Beogram 8000?
The Beogram 8000 was the first model in a second generation of high-fidelity B&O turntables. The Beogram 4000 had been the first, and this model (and its derivatives) had been the basis of all B&O’s top-line systems during the 1970s.

What was the Beolab 8000 supposed to be?
As the Beolab 8000 was intended to be the highest quality domestic audio system that B&O had ever marketed and the LP record was the best source available at the time, there was considerable pressure on the designers to come up with a really high performance product .
