Bang & Olufsen BeoSound Shape Speaker

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound Shape is a modular wall-mounted wireless speaker system designed for music and design lovers, providing an absorbing sound panorama and equipped with built-in noise reduction to improve room acoustics.

The BeoSound Shape system is made up of hexagonal modules of the same shape and size. Each module acts as a speaker, amplifier, or acoustic damper. Modules can be combined and combined in any combination, of any shape and size, for large and small rooms.

Individual design
Living room? A restaurant? Hotel lobby Thanks to a wide selection of colors and a modular design concept, the BeoSound Shape speaker system can be perfectly matched and shaped for any space.

The modular concept to create the perfect shape

Unlike any other speaker system, you can choose the size, shape, color and even acoustic characteristics of the system yourself. The concept of the BeoSound Shape modular tile is based on one geometric shape – a hexagon.

Each tile performs the function of a speaker, amplifier or acoustic damper, they can be combined and combined in any combination of any size for large and small rooms.

Combine as you wish

BeoSound Shape is a unique, versatile speaker system that can expand and evolve as your lifestyle changes. Rearrange the tiles to form a new pattern, change the color if you have updated the interior, or add more tiles to improve system performance or acoustic damping performance.

“The hexagon is one of the most common forms in nature, from a variety of snowflakes to bee honeycombs, which also looks great as a repeating and multiplying structure. Each audio system will be unique and natural beauty is embodied in these endless variations. ”

Only music. No noise
BeoSound Shape is ideal for large spaces with lots of people and active movement.

Stunning sound panorama
Forget the secluded “best place” to listen to. BeoSound Shape delivers an immersive experience for the entire company. Instead of optimizing the sound for one fixed position, our unique up-mix algorithm intelligently distributes the signals among the speakers, and therefore the correlated signal is reproduced in the center of each listening position. As a result: Your wall becomes a scene on which the soloist of the group materializes in the center, and the instruments join from all sides, and this impression remains, even if you move around the room.

Spatiality and a sense of live performance are very believable.

Improve room acoustics
Even in the most beautiful room with poor acoustics, a person begins to feel discomfort. This problem can be fixed by incorporating acoustic damping tiles into the system when creating the BeoSound Shape system.

BeoSound Shape is a solution based on a design concept that solves the prevailing problem of poor acoustics in open multifunctional spaces. Damping tiles absorb sound waves, but do not reflect them, which not only improves the musical experience, but also actively improves the entire acoustic atmosphere in the room, even when the system is turned off.

Suppose that it is necessary to improve the acoustic properties of a large room with many hard surfaces. In this case, it is necessary to include in the configuration a sufficient number of acoustic damping tiles to prevent reflection of sound from the walls. For the crowded lobby of the hotel, which at night turns into a lively cocktail bar, an extensive audio system, consisting of a sufficient number of speaker tiles, guarantees the perfect musical background.

Aesthetics
Do not take BeoSound Shape only as a functional object. Thanks to a selection of high-quality fabrics, including exclusive woolen fabrics from Kvadrat’s design bureau, the musical experience becomes tactile and aesthetic.

There are hardly two identical configurations, but each of them will undoubtedly be a durable visual art object on each wall and in every room.
