Hi

I would like to know what the abbreviations in the Bang & Olufsen products mean.

 

There are some abbreviations in the old vintage products that are in many of the product names.

Like in the series of Capri TVs. The abbreviations they have in their names are: K, KJ, S, SJ and RG.

I understand that they could explain what kind of material the TV was made of.

Other abbreviations are CH, V, B, ST, U, RGF, RGS, MMC, SP, BRG, SH, RT, KH, TG, RV, RWM, K/M, RX, TX. There might be more.

 

Do you guys know what some of these abbreviations mean?

 

Thank you.

The RX is a radial turntable lacking datalink, so it could be used beyond B&O systems. The TX likewise, is a Tangential version turntable. So R for radial, T for tangential, and X for non-datalink?

Thank you for all that information.

It makes it easier to understand why the products are called what they are.

You wrote some good explanations. Thank you.
