Lux Directional Speaker Systems

Bang & Olufsen's Beolab 28 Speakers Have a Genius Curtained Design

Luxury audio designer Bang & Olufsen one-upped the audio game once again with the Beolab 28. The new tower-style speaker system can be purchased either freestanding or wall-mounted and has an integrated set of automatically adjusting wraparound curtains that augment the directional audio technology, alongside the Active Room Compensation feature. The Beolab 28 boasts superb, studio-grade sound quality that benefits from the Advanced Adaptive Bass Linearization, which optimizes bass performance.

The speaker's appearance is a design statement unto itself. The beautifully crafted body of the Beolab 28 comes in a range of refined finishes including options like polished wooden external covers and 'Grey Melange Fabric' internal covers. The smart wireless technology allows the user to set the speakers up and jump into the listening experience quickly without having to fiddle with cords and wires. The Beolab 28 provides attuned audio engagement in a luxurious package.
