Danish style-merchant Bang & Olufsen has
revealed its latest surround
sound system, the BeoLab 14.
Consisting of four aluminum speakers – which can be wall- or
ceiling-mounted, or equipped with slender desk or floor stands – and a
tapered subwoofer with an 8-inch bass driver, the BeoLab 14 setup pushes
out a total of 840W. 280W of that comes from the class D amplifier in
the subwoofer, which automatically adapts its output to the shape and
size of the room. Each of the satellite speakers gets 140W to play with,
and tips the scales at 800g. Formed from pressure-treated aluminum – in
fact 170 tons of pressure is involved – they can be fitted with a
choice of six colored fabric fronts. The subwoofer body comes in white only, though
the top fabric section can be switched out to match with your decor.
Hooking up to a B&O surround-capable TV is a matter of plugging in
the A/V multi connector, but you can also use an A/V receiver and any
other brand of TV or projector. There’s also peak volume protection, so that
none of the cones burst from unexpected highs. B&O says the BeoLab 14 surround sound speaker system is on sale globally this week, priced at €2,995 ($3,855). (slashgear)
