Beovision AV9000 was the monitor which formed the heart of the Beosystem AV9000. It was based on the Beovision MX6000. The system was Bang & Olufsen’s first home-cinema system used the Dolby Logic Pro to make up a domestic Surround Sound System.
Within the System was the Master Panel AV9000 for sound sources based upon radio, cassettes and a CD player, as well as the required Beolab active loudspeakers to give the surround sound.
An AV9000 Audio Kit was made available in order to allow another audio system other than the Master Panel AV9000 to be used with the Beovision AV9000 Control Center situated beneath the Beovision AV9000. The Kit was identical to the Beolink Converter although different software was used.
