Bang & Olufsen have announced the launch of a new soundbar in its Beosound range. Positioned between the Beosound Stage and the Beosound Theater, the $5,800 Beosound Premiere features 10 custom drivers powered by 10 amplifiers, including a unique centerpiece upward-facing driver.
“At the center of Beosound Premiere is one of its most striking design elements: the upward-firing driver. It is not just a technical necessity – it symbolizes Bang & Olufsen’s engineering craftsmanship,” explains the company. “The top is perforated with 1925 precision-milled holes, which serve both as an acoustic opening and as an aesthetic signature – a tribute to the year Bang & Olufsen was founded.”
The Beosound Premiere is engineered almost completely from aluminum, with a casing integrated with 90 LEDs that provide “an ethereal glow inside the soundbar.” B&O claims that the Beosound Premiere’s new Wide Stage Technology’s signal processing boosts the audio’s sound and width, and, in addition to functioning as a standalone soundbar, can be added as part of a Beolink 7.1.4 surround sound system.
The new Dolby Atmos-ready soundbar will roll out in stages, with a Natural Aluminium finish model launching next month. This will be followed by a Gold Tone finish in February of next year, and finally, a Black Anthracite model launching in March. Additionally, a super-limited run of 25 Haute Edition models are available now.
