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.
