Da das Integrationsniveau der Elektronik in den 80er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts nicht so weit fortgeschritten war, wurden die Geräte zwangsläufig breiter. Die Studio Line-Einzelkomponenten sind 50 cm breit, die Studio Line Integral Komponenten sind 60 cm breit.
+
Since the level of integration of electronics was not that advanced in the 1980s, the devices inevitably became wider. The Studio Line single components are 50 cm wide, the Studio Line integral components are 60 cm wide.

Die flachen Gehäuse bestehen aus einem Druckgussrahmen (mit Innenverstrebung bei Studio Integral) mit seitlichen Kühlrippen und einem Deckel unten und einen 90&deg; gewinkelten Deckel oben, der auch die Frontseite bildet.  
+
The flat cabinets consist of a die-cast frame (with internal bracing for Studio Integral) with side cooling fins and a lid at the bottom and a 90&deg; angled lid at the top, which also forms the front.

Diese '''Studio Line''' Serie bzw. '''Studio Line Integral''' Serie ist die letzte Geräteserie, die [[BRAUN]] in Deutschland gefertigt hat. Die spätere [[Braun Atelier Serie]] wurde im Auftrag in Japan gefertigt.
+
This '''Studio Line''' series or '''Studio Line Integral''' series is the last series of appliances that [[Braun|BRAUN]] manufactured in Germany. The later [[Braun Atelier Series]] was made to order in Japan.

Brauntypisch wurde bei diesen Geräten die klaren Gestaltungsrichtlinien der Vergangenheit beibehalten. Man kann die einzelnen Funktionbereich klar unterscheiden. Sehr schön ist dies bei der '''Studio Integral Serie''' zu sehen.
+
Typical for Braun, the clear design guidelines of the past were maintained in these appliances. One can clearly distinguish the individual functional areas. Very beautifully this is to be seen with the '''Studio Integral series'''.

Die meisten Geräete sind auch in der Farbe Grau erhältlich (A 301, A 501, T 301, T 501, TS 501, C 301, PC 1, RA 1, RS 1) jedoch sehr selten. Der Lack der grauen Geräte ist etwas empfindlicher als der der mattschwarzen Geräte.  
+
Most devices are also available in grey (A 301, A 501, T 301, T 501, TS 501, C 301, PC 1, RA 1, RS 1) but very rarely. The varnish of the grey units is somewhat more sensitive than that of the matt black units.

Die Verstärker [[Braun A 301|A 301]] und [[Braun A 501|A 501]] besitzen identische Vorverstärker, unterscheiden sich jedoch in der Leistung der Endstufen.
+
The amplifiers [[Braun A 301|A 301]] and [[Braun A 501|A 501]] have identical preamplifiers, but differ in the power of the output stages.
  
  
−
Die Tuner [[Braun T 301|T 301]] und [[Braun T 501|T 501]] sind analoge Tuner und bilden auch in [[Braun Studio RA 1|RA 1]] die Tunersektion. Der Tuner [[Braun TS 501|TS 501]] ist ein Syntesizer-Tuner und bildet auch in [[Braun Studio RS 1|RS 1]] die Tunersektion.   
+
The tuners [[Braun T 301|T 301]] and [[Braun T 501|T 501]] are analogue tuners and also form the tuner section in [[Braun Studio RA 1|RA 1]]. The tuner [[Braun TS 501|TS 501]] is a syntesizer tuner and also forms the tuner section in [[Braun Studio RS 1|RS 1]].

Die Kassettenrecoder [[Braun C 301|C 301]] und [[Braun C 301 M|C 301M]] unterscheiden sich in der "Metal"-Bandfähigkeit des letztgenannten. Sehr schön gelöst ist das offene Kassettenfach, das optisch eine Anlehnung an eine Tonbandmaschine darstellt. Bei Nichtgebrauch kann die Abspielmechanik per dezenter Klappe abgedeckt werden.
+
The [[Braun C 301|C 301]] and [[Braun C 301 M|C 301M]] cassette decoders differ in the "metal" tape capability of the latter. The open cassette compartment is very nicely solved, visually reminiscent of a tape machine. When not in use, the playback mechanism can be covered by a discreet flap.

Der Plattenspieler [[Braun P 501|P 501]] basiert mit seinem Riemenantrieb und seinen Sensortasten auf dem Plattenspieler [[Braun P 550S|P 550S]].  
+
The record player [[Braun P 501|P 501]] is based on the record player [[Braun P 550S|P 550S]] with its belt drive and its sensor buttons.

Die '''701er''' Baureihe gehört mit einer gebauten Stückzahl von nur jeweils 700 (AC 701, AP 701) bzw 900 (P 701) Geräten zu den wohl seltesten Geräten in der Braun Hifi Historie. Sie bildet das Flagschiff der Studio Serie. Sie kostete damals ca. DM 3800 und ist auch heute auf dem Sammlermarkt sehr teuer (preislich über Braun Atelier "Last Edition" Niveau), aber auch gefragt.
+
The '''701''' series belongs with a built number of only 700 (AC 701, AP 701) respectively 900 (P 701) devices to the probably rarest devices in the Braun Hifi history. It is the flagship of the Studio series. At that time it cost about DM 3800 and is still very expensive on the collector's market (priced above Braun Atelier "Last Edition" level), but also in demand.

Der [[Braun P 701|P 701]] zählt mit seinem Direktantrieb zu den ausgereiftesten Braun Plattenspielern dieser Serie. Er stellt eine Weiterentwicklung des sehr ähnlichen Plattenspielers [[Braun PDS 550|PDS550]] dar. Er wurde mit einem Moving-Coil Sytem mit elliptischer Nadel ausgeliefert. Alle Funktionen sind per Tipptasten steuerbar (bei [[Braun PDS 550|PDS550]] sind dies Sensortasten).  
+
The [[Braun P 701|P 701]] with its direct drive is one of the most sophisticated Braun turntables of this series. It is a further development of the very similar turntable [[Braun PDS 550|PDS550]]. It was delivered with a moving coil system with elliptical needle. All functions are controllable by touch keys (on [[Braun PDS 550|PDS550]] these are sensor keys).

Die Vorstufe [[Braun AC 701|AC 701]] besitzt einen Moving Coil (MC)- und einen Moving Magnet(MM)- Phonoentzerrer und zwei Tapeschleifen.
+
The [[Braun AC 701|AC 701]] preamplifier features a moving coil (MC) and a moving magnet (MM) phono equalizer and two tape loops.

Die Endstufe [[Braun AP 701|AP 701]] kann per Schalter an der Rückseite per Brückenschaltung in den Mono- Betrieb umgeschaltet werden, und liefert dann 1 mal Sinus 200 W / Musik 300 W (statt 2 mal Sinus 100 Watt / Musik 150 W). Dann sind natürlich zwei AP 701 für den Stereo Betrieb notwendig.  
+
The power amplifier [[Braun AP 701|AP 701]] can be switched to mono mode by a switch on the rear panel, and then supplies 1 x sine 200 W / music 300 W (instead of 2 x sine 100 W / music 150 W). Then, of course, two AP 701 are necessary for stereo operation.

Die '''Studio Integral''' Baureihe besteht auch Receiver (RA 1 bzw RS 1) und einer Plattenspieler- Kasseteenrecorderkombination (PC 1 bzw PC 1A). Die Plattenspielereinheit des PC 1 ist (vermutlich) identisch mit dem direktgetriebenen Spitzenmodell [[Braun PDS 550|PDS 550]] und auch optisch mit seinem 12 Gumminppen als Plattenauflage kaum von PDS 550 zu unterscheiden.
+
The '''Studio Integral''' series consists of a receiver (RA 1 resp. RS 1) and a turntable / cash register combination (PC 1 resp. PC 1A). The turntable unit of the PC 1 is (presumably) identical with the direct driven top model [[Braun PDS 550|PDS 550]] and also optically with its 12 rubber pads as record support hardly to distinguish from PDS 550.

Technisch gelten diese Geräte als sehr haltbar. Probleme sind jedoch bei den Kondensatoren in den Verstärkern (sie trocknen aus und können dann platzen) und den Lichtschrankensensoren der Plattenspielerautomatik (Birnchen defekt) sehr häufig anzutreffen. Diese Mängel kann man jedoch leicht beheben (lassen). Der Abdeckhaubenmechanismus der Plattenspieler A 501, P 701 bzw des Plattenspeiler-Kassettenrecoderkombi ist nicht besonders elegant gelöst, so dass die Abdeckhauben meist an dieser Stelle defekt sind oder Bruchstellen aufweisen.

BRAUN Studio Line[edit]

The Studio Line or "Slim line" series follows the Regie series and is the predecessor of the Atelier series.


Design:


It is characterized by its extremely flat design, of only 55 mm (65 mm with feet), which was almost (→ Bang & Olufsen) unique at the time (1978-1981).

Since the level of integration of electronics was not that advanced in the 1980s, the devices inevitably became wider. The Studio Line single components are 50 cm wide, the Studio Line integral components are 60 cm wide.


The flat cabinets consist of a die-cast frame (with internal bracing for Studio Integral) with side cooling fins and a lid at the bottom and a 90° angled lid at the top, which also forms the front.


This Studio Line series or Studio Line Integral series is the last series of appliances that BRAUN manufactured in Germany. The later Braun Atelier Series was made to order in Japan.


Typical for Braun, the clear design guidelines of the past were maintained in these appliances. One can clearly distinguish the individual functional areas. Very beautifully this is to be seen with the Studio Integral series.


Most devices are also available in grey (A 301, A 501, T 301, T 501, TS 501, C 301, PC 1, RA 1, RS 1) but very rarely. The varnish of the grey units is somewhat more sensitive than that of the matt black units.


The amplifiers A 301 and A 501 have identical preamplifiers, but differ in the power of the output stages.


The tuners T 301 and T 501 are analogue tuners and also form the tuner section in RA 1. The tuner TS 501 is a syntesizer tuner and also forms the tuner section in RS 1.


The C 301 and C 301M cassette decoders differ in the "metal" tape capability of the latter. The open cassette compartment is very nicely solved, visually reminiscent of a tape machine. When not in use, the playback mechanism can be covered by a discreet flap.


The record player P 501 is based on the record player P 550S with its belt drive and its sensor buttons.


The 701 series belongs with a built number of only 700 (AC 701, AP 701) respectively 900 (P 701) devices to the probably rarest devices in the Braun Hifi history. It is the flagship of the Studio series. At that time it cost about DM 3800 and is still very expensive on the collector's market (priced above Braun Atelier "Last Edition" level), but also in demand.


The P 701 with its direct drive is one of the most sophisticated Braun turntables of this series. It is a further development of the very similar turntable PDS550. It was delivered with a moving coil system with elliptical needle. All functions are controllable by touch keys (on PDS550 these are sensor keys).

Illustration: BRAUN Studio Line: TS 501 tuner, AC 701 preamplifier, AP 701 stereo/mono power amplifier.


The AC 701 preamplifier features a moving coil (MC) and a moving magnet (MM) phono equalizer and two tape loops.


The power amplifier AP 701 can be switched to mono mode by a switch on the rear panel, and then supplies 1 x sine 200 W / music 300 W (instead of 2 x sine 100 W / music 150 W). Then, of course, two AP 701 are necessary for stereo operation.


The Studio Integral series consists of a receiver (RA 1 resp. RS 1) and a turntable / cash register combination (PC 1 resp. PC 1A). The turntable unit of the PC 1 is (presumably) identical with the direct driven top model PDS 550 and also optically with its 12 rubber pads as record support hardly to distinguish from PDS 550.

Second-hand market[edit]

Technically, these units are considered very durable. However, problems are very common with the capacitors in the amplifiers (they dry out and can then burst) and the light cabinet sensors of the automatic record player (bulbs defective). However, these defects can easily be repaired. The cover mechanism of the turntables A 501, P 701 or of the record spooler-cassette encoder combination is not very elegantly solved, so that the covers are mostly defective or broken at this point.


Visually, the labels of the control elements are often faulty.
