Immersive Multi-Room Speakers

The New 'Beosound 2' Generates 360-Degree Sound In Any Space

— March 13, 2023 — Tech
Bang & Olufsen is renowned for creating luxurious audio products that combine high levels of performance with marvellous aesthetics, and the company has well and truly knocked it out of the park yet again with the advent of the 'Beosound 2' multi-room speaker.

This wireless speaker features a conical shape and comes fitted with a pair of mid-range speakers, a downward-facing bass driver and a tweeter that works in conjunction with a reflective mechanism to provide all-consuming sound.

The 'Beosound 2' multi-room speaker benefits from Bang & Olufsen's proprietary Acoustic Lens Technology which creates an immersive sound experience regardless of where in a given room the speaker is placed. Elsewhere, this speaker has an embedded proximity sensor that has a nifty ability to illuminate the control panel when your hand is near the controls.

With an aesthetic quality that will make it fit in well with any kind of environment and design, the 'Beosound 2' is a truly spectacular speaker whose premium quality is underlined by its $3,199 price tag.
