Hello!

I'm longing to get my Beocenter 7000 turntable up and running. I have found Beomaster 5500 amplifier for sale at a reasonable price. Does anyone know whether the two are compatible?

Thanks very much indeed!

Hi there and welcome to Beoworld
I gather that you meant Beogram 7000, as the Beocenter 7000 has its own amplifier.
If this is the case, the answer is yes, it will work.

Not quite Andy.

If it is indeed a Beogram 7000 record deck then there will be a RIAA (phono pre-amp) conflict as both the Beomaster 5500 & Beogram 7000 have them fitted. The only real way around this (without disconnecting one of the RIAA's) would be to connect the turntable to the AUX input of the 5500 which would lose you the remote control function.

Ideally you should buy either a Beomaster 6500 or 7000 which would both be a better cosmetic match. The only difference between these 2 Beomasters is the addition of RDS on the 7000.

Thanks for replying!

Thanks for this as I didn't realise the Beocenter 7000 had it's own amplifier.  Do you know if the Beocenter 7000 is compatible with the following stylii:

MMC20CL
MMC20CL
MMC20EN
MMC20E
MMC20S

Also, is the Beocenter 7000 compatible with beovox 1802 speakers?

I do apologise, I was just thinking about datalink, and compatability with Beoloink 1000 codes. Never thought about the RIAAs.
See, I'm not quite perfect after all!

Hi Rose.
The Beocenter 7000 originally had MMC20 EN so all the MMC 20  will fit.
 EN just means Eliptical Naked and CL means Contact Line. S means Spherical etc
THIS page my give you an idea.
Since the output of the Beocenter 7000 is 30 watts, I can't see a problem with attatching the 1802s to it. Not sure what the specifications of those speakers are though.
