The Beocord 8000 Design Story
#58 in a series of articles about the technology behind Bang & Olufsen products
Cleaning up around my desk again… This time I found a booklet called the “Beocord 8000 Design Story” published by Bang & Olufsen in December of 1979. This one has some interesting information about cassette tape recorders/players – including a paper describing a cool way to measure head wear. Click here to download the file.

B&O Tech: 100 Years of Danish Loudspeakers
#56 in a series of articles about the technology behind Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers
This book was released some months ago as part of the 100 year anniversary of loudspeaker development in Denmark. There are a number of good articles in there, including a historical article on the importance of loudspeaker directivity at Bang & Olufsen.
Note that, unfortunately, the website that was associated with this book no longer exists… :-(
