Stopping in the same place every time. Six CDs presented neatly in a row, with all the titles legible. After playback, BeoSound 9000 simply stops its CDs in exactly the position in which they were first loaded. Using the inaudible initial lead information present on most compact discs, the BeoSound 9000 is able to detect and memorise a desired position for the CD. When it's time to stop the CD, a servosystem decreases the speed of rotation, the position mark is detected, and this effects the final braking and halt. A servo calculates the braking length for the CD, processes and stores the information. So the next time the CD will stop even faster, because BeoSound 9000 now knows where and when to apply the brakes. |
| The fine art of control of BeoSound 9000 |
 |
Lift the lid on BeoSound 9000 and the extensive control panel with timer, editing and sound adjustment operations is at hand. Since the BeoSound 9000 can be placed in a great number of positions, the control panel can turn as you prefer. The display follows the same orientation, of course. |
| CD features |
 |
BeoSound 9000 works so fast and so quietly that the change-over between two CDs seems no longer than the normal interval between tracks. Using the inaudible initial lead information on the discs, each CD can be named and memorised, and will be left in the same position as it was loaded, with its title clearly legible. |

 |
Enter up to 200 titles in the memory and they'll appear on the display
whenever one of those CDs is played. The FM/AM radio has memory for up to 60 stations which can be identified by their names instead of their frequency numbers. Set the timer and wake up to your favourite programmed CD sequence or radio station. |

| Test of BeoSound 9000 |
 |
A BeoSound 9000 consists of about 260 mechanical parts which take just over 2 hours to assemble. As part of its development, the BeoSound 9000 went through a so-called accelerated life test. The carriage was required to move to a new CD every 3 minutes, 5 1/2 hours a day, for 365 days. After nearly 2 million movements without failure, the test was cancelled. |

Some see an organ pipe, others an exclamation mark. Whether BeoLab
8000 appeals to your eyes or your ears, its sound performance is as unmistakable as it is
pure. And on its cast iron base, it's a lot easier to accommodate. Active loudspeaker · 2 power amplifier modules · Adaptive bass linearisation · Aluminium cabinet |
