Beosystem 10: first Boombox with its permanent location.

Beosystem 10 was the world's first portable stereo system with its own permanent location, inside and outside the house. An unobtrusive WB 10 wall bracket on the living room wall, kitchen, or summer house enables the complete stereo system with the controls at eye level and the speakers at ear level. With the built-in stereo expander, you can even acoustically "increase" the distance between the speakers. This gives you an even more spatial sound image on the wall bracket or on the table - the receiver and recorder give you the perfect sound.
The receiver is an FM, long wave, and medium wave receiver. You can pre-program up to 3 FM stations. The cassette recorder can play and rewind all types of tape and you can monitor what is being recorded during fast rewinding.



Beosystem 10 has two built-in microphones and connection options for record players, external cassette recorders, additional speakers, and headphones.
Six 1.5-volt batteries are sufficient for the power supply or the 12-volt battery of your car or boat via a transformer. Of course, you can also use the mains socket directly.
The Beosystem 10 performed like a regular Japanese radio cassette recorder. The device was manufactured by the same company that produced the Beocenter 2200, and although there was evident B&O influence, there was very little Danish content. Despite its simplicity, the circuit featured a robust amplifier and an integrated regulator that enabled the use of a car or boat battery. Additionally, there were connections for an auxiliary input source and two external loudspeakers (with the same sockets as the larger Beomaster and Beocenter models).
The Beosystem 10 would have been prohibitively expensive if it had been constructed in Denmark to the same specifications as the more costly versions in the lineup. However, more consideration throughout the design phase would have resulted in a far superior and more practical gadget. It was discreetly discontinued in the early 1990s. It was not immediately replaced, however, the Beosound Century soon made an appearance and, except for not requiring a battery, occupied a comparable position in the lineup.
Beosystem 10 was produced for 5 years from 1985 to 1990, and it cost 250 British pounds in 1990, which is approximately 543.04 euros in 2024, after adjusting for inflation and converting to euros using the assumed exchange rate.
