Bang & Olufsen | High-Performance Speaker Dock
BANG & OLUFSEN
B&O's High-Performance Speaker Dock
Bang & Olufsen Japan has announced the "BeoSound 8," a high-fidelity speaker dock for iPad, iPhone, and iPod. To coincide with the BeoSound 8's release, they will also launch an application designed to enhance the Bang & Olufsen sound system experience, including access to internet radio.

A Compact Speaker for Apple Enthusiasts
The BeoSound 8 has been developed as the ultimate solution for enjoying digital music from iPods, iPhones, iPads, and other devices. It boasts an elegant design, a simple user interface, and the superior acoustic performance characteristic of B&O.
Usage is cool and simple. Just connect the BeoSound 8 to power, dock your favorite device, or connect via line-in or USB. While it can be easily operated with the included dedicated remote control, the Beo4 or Beo5 remotes, already available, can also be used. Furthermore, by incorporating Apple AirMac Express, it can be integrated into your network, allowing you to enjoy your music collection stored on your PC wirelessly through the BeoSound 8.
The BeoSound 8's distinctive feature is its light, characteristic design that fits anywhere. It complements not only main room music systems but also kitchens, patios, and summer homes. It can be placed directly on a flat surface or mounted on a wall, delivering exceptional sound in either configuration. In addition to its outstanding acoustic performance, the sound can be manually adjusted in three stages to suit its placement—in front of a wall, in a corner, or in the center of the room—ensuring optimal audio.
Achieve a More Versatile Acoustic Space with the Dedicated App
The conical speaker design creates an illusion of greater depth than its actual dimensions, while its small feet lift it slightly, emphasizing its slim profile and giving it the appearance of a floating 2D artwork. An aluminum ring adds the distinctive Bang & Olufsen identity. The speaker covers are available in six optional colors: lavender blue, purple, green, yellow, black, and white.
And on December 3rd, the free app "BeoPlayer" for iPhone and iPad is scheduled for release. It provides access to 20 internet radio stations and features an alarm clock with a design characteristic of Bang & Olufsen. This application will gain music browsing functionality before Christmas 2010, and an upgrade to the paid version will unlock access to over 10,000 internet radio stations worldwide.
