Braun Steuergerät RCS 9 Design Dieter Rams, guter Zustand siehe Bilder, weiße Folie an der Vorderseite hat sich etwas gelöst.
€200 is a good buy here: it sits below the €209 25th percentile and under the €213 median for the recent comparable EUR listings, so it’s priced a touch on the buyer-friendly side. For a Braun Audio piece, that’s the right zone if the unit is complete and working.
What makes it worthwhile is the brand’s reputation for clean industrial design and solid late-era hi-fi ergonomics; these are often appealing to collectors who want a distinctive, well-built system rather than a generic receiver. At this level, the main value is getting a respectable example without paying up, so I’d prioritize confirmation of basic function, originality, and any missing knobs, covers, or matching components.

Braun Audio traces its origins to 1921, when German engineer Max Braun founded the company in Frankfurt as a modest workshop producing radio components. By 1929, it had launched its own receivers, earning international acclaim at the 1937 Paris World Fair for sound engineering innovations. Post-World War II, Braun rebuilt with a sharp focus on high-fidelity reproduction, pioneering advancements under designer Dieter Rams from 1956 onward, including the first all-wave receiver, mobile music player (TP1 in 1959), stackable Hi-Fi systems, and wall-mounted integrated setups—many now museum pieces like those at MoMA.
The brand excelled in compact, modular stereo systems during the 1960s and 1970s, with iconic models like Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 250, and Audio 300 featuring solid metal casings and uncompromised sound quality. Braun emphasized innovative portables, record players with plexiglass covers, and educational brochures on optimal listening setups, blending functionality with Rams' minimalist aesthetic across radios, phonographs, amplifiers, and early headphones.
Renowned among vintage collectors and design aficionados for its ahead-of-its-time hi-fi heritage, Braun Audio holds a niche position as a mid-tier icon of German engineering precision. After a 28-year hiatus, it relaunched in the 2010s under license, targeting enthusiasts who value timeless quality over cutting-edge exotica, with a current emphasis on preserving its storytelling legacy through curated webshops and reissues.
