BANG & OLUFSEN INTRODUCES A LIMITED EDITION BEOSOUND 1 IN PIANO BLACK
Bang & Olufsen presents the portable wireless speaker BeoSound 1 in a timeless special edition , Piano Black – crafted to pure perfection and available for a limited time only . In the process of getting the right finish and hue of black , the speaker has been polished and anodized several times to achieve a mesmerizing reflective surface in pure black that draws the eye to its geometrical design and converging silhouette .
“ Within fashion as well as interior design , black is a colour that never goes out of style and its versatility offers an unlimited portfolio of uses . It can add architectural elegance , create a dramatic look , redirect attention , add weight to a specific area as well as balancing out lighter hues . We are really excited to bring forward this colour ”, says Bang & Olufsen Senior Concept Lead Kresten Bjørn Krab-Bjerre .
Designed for flexible living
BeoSound 1 is a portable and lightweight wireless speaker with a battery-driven option , which has been crafted for mobility . It has a small groove under the top to ensure a better grip when it ’ s lifted up and moved around , and the conic body hovers slightly above the ground , letting the thumps of the bass units out from underneath . It is slightly open at the top for acoustical reasons , but apart from that it has a uniform expression on the aluminium surface .
The speaker comes with the Acoustic Lens Technology renowned from classic Bang & Olufsen speakers such as BeoLab 5 and BeoLab 18 . The acoustic driver is placed in the top of the speakers , playing into a reflector that creates a spherical and powerful 360-degree sound experience .
Intuitive sensor technology
BeoSound 1 brings forward a magical experience using proximity sensors that enable control of the basic operations on the speaker intuitively . As the sensor detects your presence , it is ready for commands with the user interface turned towards the user . Turn the wheel to adjust the volume , and simply swipe and tap on the top for other commands .
Direct music streaming
Multiple connectivity options such as Google Cast , AirPlay , DNLA and Bluetooth offer easy access from mobile devices and music apps . BeoSound 1 also provides integrated access to TuneIn Internet radio stations as well as Spotify and Deezer music services to allow streaming of music without using a smartphone or tablet .
BeoSound 1 supports BeoLink Multiroom , which connects your Bang & Olufsen products into one wireless music system across the home
