Surrounded by sound

The BeoSound Shape is a unique wireless system that contributes to the improvement of the indoor acoustic even when switched off. A wall-mounted, modular system based on hexagonal tiles that can be placed creatively on the wall in every imaginable size and pattern, it adds to the décor of a room while ensuring perfect audio. 

“The auditory indoor climate is essential for our physical and mental well-being, just like natural lighting, fresh air, and ergonomics. BeoSound Shape provides an excellent answer to the challenges of interior acoustics through its intelligent sound distribution and resonance absorbing effects,” says Marie Kristine Schmidt, vice president brand, design & marketing of Bang & Olufsen.

BeoSound Shape consists of a combination of speakers, amplifiers and acoustic damper tiles that scale the sound performance and visual design, going from six to practically an unlimited number of tiles in one set-up.

The speaker system comes in an array of colours and textiles. The |colour palette includes Parisian Night Blue, Purple Heart, Infantry Green, Brazilian Clay, Wild Dove Grey and the classic Black. A collaboration with the renowned Danish manufacturer of design textiles Kvadrat adds exclusive options in terms of wool fabrics and colours.

The unique Bang & Olufsen upmixing algorithm is designed to create a crisp and precise soundscape with the vocal performer in the centre and the instruments to the sides. Called ‘Band on the wall’, the ambition is to produce a sound experience as if the band was literally placed up against the wall doing a live performance allowing the audience to move freely around a room.

An online design tool from Bang & Olufsen will be made available to both visually mix and match tiles and provides acoustic recommendations for optimal placement of the speaker tiles. 

The BeoSound Core connectivity hub, hidden behind a hexagonal tile, enables wireless streaming of high-quality music from your mobile device via streaming technologies such as AirPlay1, Chromecast built-in-1 or Bluetooth. BeoSound Core also includes multiroom functionality making it part of the family of Bang & Olufsen and B&O PLAY products that can play different music in different rooms or let one tune flow throughout your home.          

The product will be available in Bang & Olufsen stores next month. The price depends on the size, acoustical performance, and fabric choice.
