Bang & Olufsen Beosound Shape - Creating the ultimate entertaining space by AVD AU

Another world first and something to behold - A Bang & Olufsen Beosound Shape array that is the largest system yet deployed in a residence....... in the world!

Take a client's garage, which also happens to be a world class environment and winner of numerous Architectural awards, and add the B&O Shape array and what do you have - well, it’s a space that becomes a multi-function entertaining environment where the client will dine with 40 or so of their closest friends - or a dedicated listening space where the sound stage of the orchestra playing allows you to pinpoint every instrument - or perhaps a dance floor with exceptional musical performance and space to explore every move. As a matter of fact it will be all of these.

The engineering that went into this exquisite system started with our tried and true documentation where every element was designed to suit the environment. 35 iterations of design were tabled prior to settling on the abstract we now have. We bracketed through the acoustic wall slats onto which we secured the birch-wood marine play support structure that in turn held the B&O shapes. The effect of this is a floating piece of art and a rock solid performance.

Once again its an outstanding effort from the AVD Australia and Project Connection teams and of course thanks to our special long standing client who took on the vision to undertake something that is just a little bit out there.

Bang & Olufsen's Beosound Stage Soundbar by AVD AU

Get to know the powerful Dolby-Atoms soundbar Beosound Stage

With Beosound Stage you can experience our amazing sound and signature design with any TV and, at the same time, have a full audio system with the latest streaming technology, magically all in one!

What is Beosound Stage?

Over the past years the TV screens have become thinner and thinner, which has also led to “thinner” sound and, as a consequence, bad listening experiences. TV and film viewers have finally started to realise that the listening experience can be improved by adding an external soundbar. Beosound Stage is the Bang & Olufsen solution for people who are looking for impressive sound but don't want to compromise with the overall visual expression of their full TV setup. It looks more like a piece furniture than pure technology. Exclusive materials combine design with the best of audio technology possible and the result is maximum flexibility in terms of placement, materials and use.

Sound: All in one

Bang & Olufsen's Beosound Stage is a three-channel system that delivers not only impressive stereo sound performance but also a focus on speech intelligibility. By offering a three-channel sound system with left/right stereo and a dedicated centre channel, and supported by Dolby Atmos decoding and processing, you achieve a surprising performance and flexibility with a variety of user controls. This means that it's a simple solution for watching movies and television programs, and also for "just" listening to music. Behind the front cover, you will find an active system with 11 speaker drivers in total. The four woofers are placed close together in the center so that, for low frequency bands, they can work together as a single unit.

The upper frequency bands of the centre channel are provided by two midrange drivers and a tweeter, which ensure that we can deliver clear, and easily understandable dialogue, even at higher listening levels. The left and right channels, are delivered using a single midrange driver and tweeter for each channel. These drivers are oriented in a tilted baffle that allows you to choose a wall- or table -placement. Once the loudspeaker is installed, you will simply need to indicate the position in the Bang & Olufsen App and the DSP will optimise the sound accordingly.
