braun audio 310 anthracite

Braun audio 310. The flag­ship from the early 70s. The last of its kind. Desi­gned by Dieter Rams. For coll­ec­tors and sound enthu­si­asts, these stereo sys­tems with the 60s design are the non plus ultra, becau­se they are abso­lut­e­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve with today’s devices and also bring the full uti­li­ty value in ever­y­day life. Careful­ly res­to­red, this vari­ant with anthr­aci­te-colo­red ruffle var­nish is in no way infe­ri­or to the white braun audio 310. The Braun audio 310 beco­mes a source of daily plea­su­re when, in addi­ti­on to the visual plea­su­re, the tech­ni­cal per­fec­tion and ama­zing sound qua­li­ty are convincing.

speaker L 710 & stands LF 700 black

From the fac­to­ry, the braun audio 310 has two full stereo out­puts, to which you can connect two pairs of speakers.

With an addi­tio­nal pair of spea­k­ers, the braun audio 310 makes sense in larger rooms, espe­ci­al­ly the combi­nation of L 425 or L 625 with the flo­or­stan­ding spea­k­ers L 710 on the spea­k­er stands LF 700 pro­vi­des a truly room-fil­ling sound experience.

TThe abso­lut per­fect com­pa­n­ion for an audio 310 placed in bigger rooms. Mid-size loud­spea­k­er, power rating 40 watt at 4 ohm, 2 x 8 inch woofer, 2 inch midran­ge dome, 1 inch dome twee­ter, fre­quen­cy range 28–25000 Hz, size w 17,7 x h 9,8 x d 8,6 inches, weight 30 pounds.

braun speakers L 625 black

These state-of-the-art loud­spea­k­ers star­ted in 1974. The L 625 is con­s­truc­ted iden­ti­cal with model L 620/1. The cross­over, the midran­ge dome and the dome twee­ter are the same as in L620/1. The only dif­fe­rence is the modi­fied sub­woo­fer, which garan­ties for voluminous low fre­quen­ci­es. It’s indi­ca­ted power range is 50 Watt, com­pared to only 30 Watt of the L620/1. So the L 625 can be played louder. It has an addi­tio­nal 2 inch midran­ge dome, which results in a more trans­pa­rent sound than L 500 and L 600, which come with just a single one inch dome twee­ter. The unique design cha­rac­te­ristics are the smooth roun­ded cor­ners and the per­fo­ra­ted alumi­nium front grid. Often the grid is dented and the lack of the cabi­net has signi­fi­cant scrat­ches, making Braun loud­spea­k­ers from the 70’s look dreadful. After 40 years the foam beads of the L 625 sub­woo­fer are broken into pieces. Per­fect spea­k­ers in mint con­di­ti­on and ide­al­ly with pro­fes­sio­nal­ly rene­wed foam beads are hard to find.

The abso­lut per­fect com­pa­n­ion for an audio 310. Mid-size loud­spea­k­er, power rating 50 watt at 4 ohm, 8 inch woofer, 2 inch midran­ge dome, 1 inch dome twee­ter, fre­quen­cy range 28–25000 Hz, size w 17,7 x h 9,8 x d 8,6 inches, weight 25 pounds.

put the needle on the record

The built-in turn­ta­ble model PS 430 X in the audio 310 stereo is a stun­ning piece of craft­man­ship. The nicely desi­gned tone arm has a lift, for the first time ever in Braun turn­ta­bles. This is the main dif­fe­rence to the audio 300, where you don’t find this fea­ture. Usual­ly there is a Shure car­tridge in the headshell, the stylus can still be orde­red nowa­days. The auto­ma­tic switch-off at the end of the record is very com­for­ta­ble. After a tech­ni­cal main­ten­an­ce ser­vice, done in a qua­li­fied spe­cia­lists work­shop, the turn­ta­ble works like it did on day one and will do for deca­des. Here you find the ori­gi­nal Braun stylus track­ing force gauge.

FM stereo radio

The recei­ver of the Braun audio 310 has seve­ral bands. The out­da­ted Short­wa­ve, Medi­um­wa­ve and Longwa­ve are accom­pa­nied by a sepa­ra­ted FM stereo sec­tion. There is a field inten­si­ty meter and a stereo indi­ca­tor lamp, which give the FM sec­tion a com­ple­te look.

When con­nec­ted to a good anten­na, the qua­li­ty of the radio recep­tion is great. You can connect to cable also.
