Bang and Olufsen Beogram 6002 5646

The Bang & Olufsen Beogram 6002 Type 5646 is a tangential tracking turntable produced from 1983 to 1986, designed for 240 V AC power supply regions. It shares most specifications and features with other Beogram 6002 variants, differing mainly in power input specifications.

Technical Overview

• Tonearm: Tangential (linear) tracking arm that follows the groove at the exact angle, minimizing distortion and vinyl wear.

• Cartridge: MMC 3 Moving Magnet cartridge, with recommended tracking force of 12 mN (1.2 g).

• Speeds: Automatic detection and switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM; manual override possible.

• Wow and Flutter: DIN weighted less than 0.07%.

• Rumble:
  DIN weighted better than 70 dB
  Unweighted better than 45 dB

• Tangential Tracking Accuracy: Better than 0.04 degrees.

• Drive System: Belt drive with flat belt, servo-controlled DC motor with speed governor; speed deviation approx. 0.2%.

• Power Supply: 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

• Power Consumption: About 17 W.

• Dimensions (W x H x D): 49 x 9 x 37.5 cm.

• Weight: Approximately 9 kg.

• Additional Features:
  Record size and speed automatically detected by "magic eye" photodiode sensor.
  One-way Data Link interface for control integration with Beomaster 6000 and remote controls.
  Designed by Jacob Jensen with options for finishes including rosewood and teak wood veneers.
  Simple electronics based on transistors and logic ICs, without microprocessor control.

Summary

The Beogram 6002 Type 5646 delivers reliable playback with the hallmark precision of tangential tracking technology in a more affordable and simplified format compared to Beogram 8000 series. It is gentle on records thanks to its low tracking force and carefully designed arm geometry. This model is optimized for regions using 240 V electricity, retaining the same technological advantages and high build quality expected from Bang & Olufsen.
