BeoSound Century is a fascinatingly

small yet amazingly powerful music

system with built-in speakers and

three integrated audio sources: CD

player, radio and tape recorder.

BeoSound Century unites it all in a

very elegant and individualistic

design, which makes the system easy

to fit in wherever you want music –

either standing in its base, or hanging

on the wall in the specially designed

wall bracket.

The magic glass door, which slides

open whenever you approach the

system, combined with easy and

convenient operation of the music

sources, makes the BeoSound Century

music system a pleasure to operate

and great fun to play.
