It has recommended retail price of approximately Rs. 4,60,000 for a set of 8 tiles.
BeoLab 50 loudspeaker has sophisticated sound and beautiful design. It is slender, tall, and rounded by floating lines and visible edges. The silver-polished aluminium surfaces and warm oak wood lamellas are recognizable trademarks of Bang & Olufsen products. The bottom part of the speaker is designed to visually lift the speaker from the floor, keeping a light expression of clear posture in the centre.
It incorporates Active Room Compensation technology. Using an external microphone, BeoLab 50 measures its physical acoustic surroundings and applies the ideal compensation filters to produce optimum sound at your listening positions or throughout the entire room.
The unique Acoustic Lens Technology, a Bang & Olufsen signature that handles the sound dispersion of the upper frequencies, is applied on top of the speaker. The lens disperses the sound via Beam Width Control into either a 180-degree sound mode for social enjoyment e.g. a party or watching a movie, or to a narrow mode for a dedicated “sweet-spot” listening position.
The BeoLab 50s are interconnected via Digital Power Link in a master-slave configuration with sound sources being fed into the system via the master speaker’s comprehensive connection panel. As a supplement to the wired connection, BeoLab 50 also incorporates wireless technology using multichannel digital audio streaming (based on the WiSA technology) with a very robust performance.
It has a recommended retail price of 27 Lacs for a pair.
Both these products will be available in Bang & Olufsen’s flagship stores in New Delhi at DLF Emporio, UB City, Bangalore and Taj Hotel, Santa Cruz, Mumbai.
