BANG & OLUFSEN BEOSOUND SHAPE home audio system

Incorporating new audio gear into the home has always been a decor challenge, with tech and art not fitting together quite as well as they should – so the scatter cushions end up winning. Thankfully, luxury audio company Bang & Olufsen has changed the equation with a speaker system that is one part tech and two parts art. The set of eight hexagonal tiles comes in an array of trendy colours and is meant to be wall-mounted in an interlocking design that suits your own interior decor, while the intelligent B&O management system adapts all of the individual pieces to work together to create the full and expansive sound stage that is the signature of the brand.

At the heart of every such installation is the BeoSound Core, the central hub that not only connects the four speaker tiles, two sound dampeners and the amp together, but also incorporates the wireless connections and a variety of internet streaming services. But you’re not limited to this configuration; you can expand your wall art by adding more amplifier and speaker tiles.

4 × speaker tiles,
