The BeoCenter 9500 featured B&O's unique sensi-touch control which works through a condenser effect. A graphite area is printed on the underside of the glass panel, and charged with a high frequency current. The proximity of a finger will invoke the control. The controls are illuminated by LEDs. Only the controls which have a function to the current activity are lit up.The CD and cassette are hidden behind polished aluminium lids. A light touch on the display panel makes the lids glide to the side giving immediate access to disc or cassette.
Its designer David Lewis was awarded the iF product design award in 1990 for the BeoCenter 9500[1] although the original design (the BeoCenter 9000) was by his predecessor Jacob Jensen.
