Beosound Century

Experience the ultimate space-saving sound system

For those who want superior sound quality without compromising on space, we present BeoSound Century, designed by David Lewis. With an impressive depth of only 11 cm, it combines CD, tape player, and FM radio in a slim form that can stand freely or be mounted on the wall. All controls are managed by backlit buttons that only illuminate the functions you need, making the user experience both simple and intuitive.

Key Features

• Compact and portable: Only 11 cm deep, can be wall-mounted or placed on any table with the included table stand. Thanks to the optional carrying handle with built-in active antenna, the Century is also easy to take with you.
• All-in-one system: Built-in CD player (12 cm & 8 cm), tape recorder with HX PRO, FM/AM radio (30 preset stations), AUX input, and headphone jack.
• Adaptive Bass Linearisation: Two two-way bass-reflex speakers (1.1 L net) with separate amplifiers for bass and treble, electronic crossover, and automatic protection circuit that prevents overload.
• Precise control: 26 backlit push-buttons in opalescent plastic, laser-engraved for durability and with even light distribution thanks to muted diodes – a robust construction that feels luxurious every time you press.
• Modern classic: Launched in 1993 and manufactured until 2004. In the late 90s, a limited edition with polished aluminum on the CD holder was released, which quickly became standard.
• Award-winning design: Awarded the Danish Design Centre’s IP Prize in 1994.
