BeoVox C40

When B&O’s engineers had discovered that the signals from respectively the bass unit and the tweeter in a loudspeaker do not reach the human ear at the same time, and that as a consequence a very slight distortion occurs, they asked Jacob Jensen to design a loudspeaker cabinet in which the units were skewed in relation to each other.

Jensen illustrated B&O’s technical discovery with an angle: “form follows function”. B&O’s loudspeakers in this way achieved a characteristic visual identity in the 1970s and 1980s.” – taken from ‘Jacob Jensen’ by Christain Holmsted Olesen.

Although the speaker was the tallest in the original line-up of aluminium compact passive speakers, Beovox C75 was no taller than an LP record, yet its reproduction quality equalled some of the full-size Beovox models. The one-piece aluminium log-line casing and separate bass (2 x 10cm bass drivers) and treble drivers (1 x 2,5cm) were specially designed to sound best in small rooms. Power handling was 75 watts RMS. Both the C75 and their smaller counterpart, the C40, benefited from the advantages of the “log line transmission system” and exploited the acoustic properties of small rooms to ensure well-balanced sound reproduction quality from these physically small cabinets.

As part of the Beovox Uni-Phase family, they also had linear phase and linear amplitude characteristics, which meant that they reproduced all types of music naturally. The range of C-type speakers won the ID Award in 1978.

Beovox C75 was eventually replaced by the CX100 in 1984.

Beovox C30 and C40 speakers were two compact bookshelf units offering high performance from deceptively small cabinets. The 10cm woofer and 2,5cm tweeter were mounted in thick aluminium casings to eliminate audible resonance. Log-line transmission ensured wide frequency response and clean, clear sound. Ideal for smaller rooms, their power handling capabilities were 30 watts and 40 watts RMS respectively.

BeoVox 5000 (1967)

Bang & Olufsen BeoVox 5000 (1967)

BeoVox 5000 (1967)

Beovox 5000 was the ideal loudspeaker for the Beolab system.

It had a special bass unit with an extended bass reproduction range, two mid-range units and four high-frequency units. There was provision for individual of mid-range and high-frequency levels and a socket for a high-frequency diffuser (Beovox 2500).

There were three differing incarnations during its life: the first had seven drivers incorporated within its 66 litre cabinet. Available in three different finishes, the B&O logo was gold-plated. Beovox 5700 was the replacement for these high-quality units when their lifespan came to an end.

BeoVox 5000 (1988)

Bang & Olufsen BeoVox 5000 (1988)

BeoVox 5000 (1988)

Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab and Beovox 5000 speakers had both the voice and the looks for a leading, acoustic role. And because of their looks, they were known as Bang & Olufsen’s range of panel loudspeakers. Panel loudspeakers were one of the most exciting and interesting examples of how Bang & Olufsen united advanced technology and stunning design to achieve totally new effects.

They may not have looked like high-specification loudspeakers – more like works of art – but their sound immediately gave them away. Even at full volume, they kept the total sound picture in perfect balance.

Design as a work of art

The elegant, flat panel loudspeakers were created to hang on the wall. And with their calm surfaces of blue or grey fabric coupled with polished steel, they could be taken for works of art. But the design was only partly for visual effect. The form of the panel speakers was founded on an advanced, acoustic principle that uses the wall as an active part of the sound reproduction process – without causing the wall itself to vibrate.

Optional display and amplifier

The panel loudspeakers were available in two sizes – each with or without amplifier and a display showing which source was playing and at what volume. Also it told you which track number on a CD or tape you were listening to.

With display and amplifier the loudspeakers were called BeoLab. Without, they were called Beovox. The option depended upon which Bang & Olufsen sound system was connected. BeoLab speakers were designed to match Beosystem 6500, 4500, 3500 and Beocenter 9500 and 8500.

Mounting Options

Wall mounting brackets were supplied with this model. No other mounting solution wall offered.
