The Beomaster 3000-2 is a solid state FM stereo receiver  in which emphasis was placed on specifications, frequency correction and connection facilities. The LOUDNESS feature permits switching between an objective or a subjective linear reproduction and the LOW and EH filter controls gave a sharper regulation of frequencies, in addition to the normal bass and treble controls. The LOW filter helps reduce rumble resulting from a poor or defective record. At 80Hz its slope was 12dB per octave. There are sockets and push buttons for two pairs of loudspeakers. The tape connection facilitated AB monitoring and there were two record-player inputs: a high and a low impedance. All input sockets can be adjusted from the receiver’s base so that all signals had the same sound level. This was an extra convenience because one needed not adjust the volume control on the amplifier when it was switched between programme sources. The FM section has six pre-set stations. A light indicator assists accurate tuning and the indicator registered the signal strength of a station. The FM section is extremely sensitive and harmonic distortion is only 0.4%. Field effect transistors, ceramic filters and integrated circuits were used.
 
In 1972 the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) chose seven Bang & Olufsen products designed by Jacob Jensen to be included in their Design Collection as representing excellent examples of the Museum’s criteria for quality and historical importance; design, in fact, which had influenced the twentieth century. Beomaster 3000 was one of those seven products. Two years’ previously Beomaster 3000 won the iF Design Award.
 
Beomaster 3000-2 was introduced in 1972. Both units could be used as part of Beosystem 3000. The two models were visually indistinguishable except for the model number, but the Beomaster 3000-2 contained a few minor technical improvements.
