Bang&Olufsen BEOSOUND 1

If you use your best china to entertain, why not do the same with your portable speaker? The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 1 has an attractive Euro-modern design that can set the tone for your next get-together — whether it’s on your deck or inside your home. This brushed aluminum cone delivers rich, detailed sound in a wide 360° soundfield. Stream Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet. Use it with your home Wi-Fi® network. It supports Spotify® Connect, Apple® AirPlay®, Chromecast built-in, and DLNA — lots of ways to connect to your favorite music. Plus, the BeoSound 1 can be part of a Beoplay multi-room audio system for enjoying music all around your home.

Advanced audio design

The speaker is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum. A built-in 1-1/2″ full-range driver fires onto a conical acoustic lens that reflects the sound and disperses it outward in a circle. A bottom-firing 4″ woofer delivers rich, strong bass. Both drivers have their own Class D amplifier for accurate sound reproduction.

Versatile multi-room audio

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound and Beoplay gear uses Chromecast built-in to create a multi-room wireless audio network. Download the free Beoplay control app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play to start. The app lets you remotely control your BeoSound 1, as well other compatible B&O wireless speakers in your home.

The app has Deezer built in for additional music choices, plus TuneIn so you can enjoy internet radio stations from around the world. You can have all your B&O speakers wirelessly play the same song throughout your home, or have each speaker play a different song from a different source — or any combination in between.
