Bang & Oflusen has launched a new portable
wireless speaker, the Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1 New York Edition. The Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1
New York Edition will be available in limited quantities from Bang &
Olufsen stores from today.
Beosound 1 is a portable wireless speaker system
featuring a sophisticated 360-degree dispersion of sound. Its distinctive
design is characterized by a conical aluminium body, which hovers slightly
above the surface allowing the bass notes to emanate from beneath. The opening
at the top of the speaker houses an acoustic lens—a hallmark of Bang &
Olufsen—which creates an evenly distributed spherical sound profile. It comes
with the Google Assistant built in, and to make sure that the speaker can hear
commands through the wall of sound coming from the drivers, Bang &
Olufsen’s sound engineers have built advanced acoustic echo-cancelling
technology and five microphones into the aluminium structure, which constantly
analyse which sounds are coming from the speaker and which are commands from
the user.
Beosound 1 is compatible with the leading wireless
streaming technologies—including Google Chromecast, Apple Airplay 2, and
Bluetooth—and it can function as a stand-alone speaker or be integrated into a
multiroom system. It contains a built-in rechargeable battery with up to 12
hours of playback time.
You can find out more information about the new
Beosound 1 New York Edition speaker over at Bang & Olufsen website. The device will retail for US$ 2,000 in the US and £ 1,450 in the UK.
