The BEAT 800 series was a series of multi-head embroidery machines manufactured from 1989 - 1993 by [[Barudan]]. The series was the successor to the [[Barudan BEAT 700 Series]].

==800 Series Machines==
Models in the 800 series came in 2, 4 and 6 head configurations. The heads came in both 5-needle and 7-needle versions. Machine models with UF in the name (802-UF) were 5-needle machines, and the UG models (806-UG) were 7 needles. 

The 800 series also came in the YS version which featured independent take-up levers (and had 7 needles). 

The 800 series machines used the same keyboard system as the [[Barudan BEAT 700 Series]], the previous series of multi-head machines in the BEAT series. The series also had a three-line vacuum fluorescent display.

The Barudan 800 Series had automatic trimmers and automatic color changes.

==Upgrades==
The Barudan BEAT models can be upgraded with the [[Embroidery Black Box]] which is an external file reader which allows the BEAT 800 series to upload design files from a modern USB flash memory stick.
