Bang & Olufsen Beosound 2 (2nd Generation) Portable Wireless Speaker - Natural Aluminium

Product Information

BeoSound 2 is a shining example of how Bang & Olufsen puts the user situation ahead of industry hype. We aim to provide simplicity and clarity in the otherwise swirling sea surrounding Internet music, just as we do in the field of home entertainment" continues Sørensen. Automatic organisation Additionally they often emphasize the importance of placement, here is an example: https://www.svsound.com/blogs/subwoofer-setup-and-tuning/75365187-the-art-of-subwoofer-placement The source code under Pierre Aubert's work is licensed under GPL (General public license). He didn't perform any of the measurements himself, and instead he compiled all of them into one place, so that makes sense. Beoplay A9 is able to crank out much stronger sound output (almost TWICE as much as Beosound 2) and it also looks prettier to most ( this Nordic Ice Kvadrat color is especially liked by many - including me)

BeoSound 2 Review: Powerful and impressive - Tech Week

People who consider the world their home shouldn't be restricted from true Bang & Olufsen solutions. If you're living inside a regular apartment flat up to, say, 50-60 square meters, then chances are, you probably won't even use it at half of its full power.If you’re looking for a single-unit, premium wireless speaker for your living room with a built-in google assistant and streaming facilities, the Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1 and Beosound 2 are the two of the fantastic options to look at. Beosound 2 also offers an absolutely stunning sound. Using our Acoustic Lens Technology, the tapered speaker creates a 360-degree sound image that fills the entire room wherever you place it. The acoustic lens spreads the high frequencies of the sound in a horizontal range to cover a wider listening area while reducing floor and ceiling reflections. If you move around the room, you will find that Bang & Olufsen sound remains unchanged. The lens is beautifully crafted in extruded aluminum. Carefully processed and acoustically well thought out. Because it turns out that in the mid 90's, Electrical Engineer PhD Floyd Toole came up with a method called Spinorama. This is exactly what he accomplished with this. Turns out that his book Sound Reproduction is like the bible of audiophiles. Because, other parameters such as the age/materials of the building, furniture/windows in place also have an impact on room acoustics.

Furthermore, your digital music can also be moved about in your home with Bang & Olufsen's Beolink® PC 2, which utilises your computer as a source in a Beolink® system. BeoPlayer again takes care of all file organization, providing you with identical operation whether in the home office, kitchen or on the go. BeoSound 2 XSD Update (June 2004) Just like its cousin Beoplay M5, one of the most beautiful things about Beosound 2 is that you get the same sound quality no matter where you're located at relative to the speaker. The colormap provides you the locations with the best (green) and worst (red) listening experience. Beosound Balance has also been equipped with “Active Room Compensation”, which ensures that your Beosound Balance not only looks good, but also sounds good. The technology comes from the creation of our proudest speaker to date, Beolab 90. Reflections from furniture and wall surfaces affect the room’s acoustic properties and distort the sound of your speakers. The Active Room Compensation technology analyzes your room with an internal microphone and creates a set of custom filters that compensate for these reflections. The result is perfect, tailored sound in all your favorite listening positions. Both shine in this department. Google compatibility and assistance aside, they also come with Spotify, Deezer, QQ Music, and TuneIn internet radio integrated into the system. What’s more, these can be accessed without your gadget.I'm also told that although these previous revisions are discontinued, customer support is still being delivered for them. Fortunately, now we have the Spinorama data for a bunch of quite popular speakers. Pierre Aubert put all this untidy data together and put it into https://www.spinorama.org/. This is a stunning source. Pretty valuable stuff from him right there. With the introduction of BeoSound 3 and BeoSound 4, users can now swap over their SD cards to use on any one - or more - of their machines.

In summary, it's always a safe bet to place a Beosound 2 on the table in the middle of a 50 - 60 square meter room. Beosound Balance and Beosound 2 are designed to fit anywhere. The days of wanting to try and hide your large stereo system are over. No matter where you place Beosound Balance and Beosound 2, they will look beautiful and elegant. But the expression of the two products is very different.Beosound 2 is also a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected speaker, which allows you to stream via AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Bluetooth, but unlike Beosound Balance, Beosound 2 also offers streaming via Bang & Olufsen Multiroom which gives you the possibility to use the Bang & Olufsen app to start your music via Deezer or radio via TuneIn, as well as touch to join if you have multiple Bang & Olufsen multiroom products in your home installation. Let's begin with the summary of the biggest differences you should be aware of when comparing the Beosound 2 vs Beoplay A9: This is a problem because it means that Spinorama alone, unfortunately, won't give us all we need. Placement and reflections play an equally important role there too.

At the time of its introduction it was - and still is - a very basic machine and one which sits in a market which has been overrun by other (better) manufacturers’ products. Two-way communication between BeoSound 2 and the computer allows BeoSound 2's software to be updated simply and easily. In this fashion, BeoSound 2 endures as an up-to-date and relevant music player, benefiting from the rapid evolvement of the Internet-based music arena. Beosound Balance is the first in a generation of products based on a new, advanced platform that will change our perception of what a sound product can be. Balance is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected speaker that allows you to easily stream from your favorite music services via AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Bluetooth. Beosound Balance does not have Bang & Olufsen Multiroom, but can seamlessly interact with the entire portfolio of 18 speakers in the Flexible Living category and deliver audio to TV products via AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. While not a deal-breaker, it's a sobering reminder that these are, in fact, consumer products aimed at listening to pleasure first. Not critical listening. So if that is a high priority, do consider this factor.Beosound 2: Received a complete revision in 2017. This is the most recent model of Beosound 2 on B&O's web-store. This is why Spinorama was apparently groundbreaking news for audio industry. Hence in the mid-late 2010's, most brands and magazines began publishing Spinorama measurements, despite the challenges of making such measurements. Lastly, both speakers require full power all the time. Disregard the Beoplay A9 outdoors image above where you can't see any cables whatsoever!
