All-wave receiver T 1000 CD from 1968

The Braun T 1000 is a world receiver that was produced and sold by the Braun company from 1963 to 1967 . The transistor radio was first presented in 1963 at the Great German Radio Exhibition in Berlin . The T 1000 CD was released in 1968, although it was only offered until around 1970.

The T 1000 was designed by Dieter Rams , Head of Design at Braun, and was part of the Studio 1000 product line at the time . Of the portable radio with a metal bracket in an aluminum housing, around 10,800 pieces with a black scale and around 500 pieces with a white scale were produced by 1967. 13,981 of the successor model T 1000 CD were produced by 1970.

In general, the two models only differ externally: the T 1000 had metal brackets and smooth rotary knobs, the T 1000 CD in turn had a flexible plastic handle and grooved rotary knobs for frequency tuning.

The suitcase receiver has two separate receiving parts, one for ultra-short waves ( VHF ) and one for receiving short , medium and long wave . The short wave spectrum from 1.6 to 30 megahertz can be received on eight wave ranges and the medium and long wave spectrum can be received on five frequency bands. The T 1000 was operated with nine single- cell batteries . The fixed sales price in 1967 was 1,400 DM , which, converted to today's purchasing power , corresponds to around 2,700 euros .

The built-in power pack TN 1000, the DF adapter PV 1000 and the DF cross PK 1000 were offered as accessories.

In the early 1970s, production was discontinued because the world receiver could no longer be produced at a cost-covering level. In the entertainment electronics sector, the Braun company increasingly focused on hi-fi systems .
