BeoLab 2000

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 2000

BeoLab 2000

With BeoLab 2000 the customer is able to extend choices with a range of dedicated Beolink® products. These offer the maximum convenience when it comes to moving and controlling sound and vision around the home.

BeoLab 2000 is the second speaker from Bang & Olufsen specially made for the Beolink® system, MasterLink, the first being BeoLab 3500. This product was designed by Anders Hermansen. All its required electronics are housed within the speaker and the only thing needed is a cable to be plugged in. As with all MasterLink products, BeoLab 2000 is totally auto-configurating.

On the front of the speaker there are buttons to select which source to listen: CD, tape and so on, as well as track selection and on/off. There is also a volume control of course. The speaker can also be operated via a remote control – for example the Beolink 1000 or Beo4. The sound is really impressive considering the very small net volume. This speaker is best used in smaller rooms such as kitchens and bedrooms.

In the kitchen, a BeoLab 2000 connected to the BeoSound Ouverture or BeoSound 3000 in the living room will give you hands-on control of various sources. Via the link to the Beovision Avant, you can follow the news on TV and only watch if something catches your interest. In the kitchen, the bathroom or the garage this little active loudspeaker gives you the option of remote or hands-on control of tape, CD, radio, timer and volume.

“When it comes to sound reproduction we believe there’s only one relevant parameter: How close can we come to the originally recorded sound. We feel an obligation not to disturb the intentions of the artist by adding unnatural elements to the acoustic image. Therefore all Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers share the same goal. They differ in size and shape and in terms of sound pressure level. But they are all developed to reproduce the natural, unaltered sound as closely as possible “ – Bang & Olufsen catalogue 2001 – 2002

BeoLab 2000 is a flexible Beolink loudspeaker which is easy to accommodate and gives you the option of hands-on or remote control. On the front panel you choose between CD, tape or radio, turn on & off, up & down. A bracket for wall or corner mounting is included

Why build amplifiers into the loudspeakers instead of keeping them separate?

Because you can reduce the size of the cabinet volume to one-third of the size of a conventional loudspeaker with the same sound capacity. The principle is called Active Loudspeakers, and what you get is a compact loudspeaker that can play at high volume without distortion or damage to its drive units. Furthermore, when amplifier, treble and bass units are paired for the same task, they can be tailored to compensate for each other’s shortcomings. What you hear is music that sounds exactly like the instrument it originally came from.

The fine art of control of BeoLab 2000

A control knob on the front of the BeoLab 2000 allows hands-on operation, when or if a Beo4 remote control is not at hand. A perforated disc inside the knob breaks a beam of light in front of a sensor that counts the number of perforations and adjusts the sound level accordingly. No wear and tear and no distortion from worn out resistors.

BeoLab 1700

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 1700

” This title and the picture of Beosystem 1700 might suggest a paradox to many readers. And in a way you are right. But there is a reason why Bang & Olufsen has separated this otherwise perfectly integrated high-fidelity system. The combination possibilities in Beosystem 1700 are so numerous that for many people the entire system is unnecessary. The essential part of the system is BeoLab 1700: a 2 x 20 watts RMS amplifier with ambiophonic stereo facilities.

BeoLab 1700 type 2605 was an amplifier designed to be used with Beomaster 1700 tuner.

The tuner, Beomaster 1700, the cassette-recorder, Beocord 1700 and the record player, Beogram 2000 (not shown) cover nearly all existing programme sources for the reproduction of music. Beovox 2702 loudspeakers complete the system. Beovox 1702 are recommended as side speakers for ambiophony, if this extra sound experience is desired. Now it is up to you to put your ideal Beosystem 1700 together. “

The unit was a high-fidelity stereo amplifier whose technical specifications exceeded the DIN 45500 high fidelity norms by a wide margin. Frequency range was 20-30.000 Hz and power bandwidth was 10-50.000 Hz. Harmonic distortion was less than 0.1% at the normally used output (50 mW) and less than 0,5% at maximum power output (2 x 20 watts RMS). Music output was 80 watts total. With four loudspeakers – two front and two at the sides, ambiophony (an extension of stereo reproduction) could be achieved.

Apart from loudspeaker connections, there were sockets for tuner, tape recorder, record player and headphones. BeoLab 1700 had slider controls for volume, bass, treble and balance. A push button for LOUDNESS facilitated switching between an objective and a subjective linear reproduction. Monitoring (AB switching) could be carried out on BeoLab 1700 if the connected tape recorder had separate record and play-back heads.

BeoLab 150

Bang & Olufsen Beolab 150

At the base of the BeoLab Penta column was the BeoLab 150 amplifier with a power output of 175 watts DIN/IEC. This could give your music a tremendous boost, both to the quality and the actual power output. It was ideal if you loved to party but had a relatively small music system. Big power needs careful control – so the amplifier was equipped with Bang & Olufsen’s Dynamic Soft Clipping system. This was a circuit that prevented both distortion and damage to the speaker units by softly rounding off signals that were too powerful. Another circuit prevented damage due to prolonged overloading.

BeoLab 150: Controlled overdrive

On the amplifier itself were buttons for adjusting bass and the level of sensitivity. This meant that you could arrive at a permanent adjustment that matched the room exactly.

BeoLab Penta turned on automatically when it received a signal and also turned itself off three minutes after receiving the last signal. BeoLab Penta had a light display that indicated the volume level and which sound source the music was coming from. This was especially useful with Beosystem 5500 and Beocenter 9500.

BeoLab 150 and 200 were used as part of the BeoLab Penta active loudspeakers range.

Connections:

At the bottom of BeoLab 150 were two clip-sockets and a four pole DIN socket for connecting speakers, a line input phono socket and a mains cable.

BeoLab 3

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 3

BeoLab 3 is the most compact, versatile loudspeaker in the current Bang & Olufsen range of loudspeakers. Using both ICEPower® and Acoustic Lens Technology, BeoLab 3 represents an important expansion of Bang & Olufsen’s compact loudspeaker range.

The speaker is very versatile and comes with a selection of stands – a floor stand, table stand and wall brackets are all available – which makes it ideal for placing almost anywhere in the house.

BeoLab 3 Floor Stand: Part number 1216511

BeoLab 3 Wall Bracket: Part number 1216766

BeoLab 3 is delivered with a black rubber foot for positioning on a static unit. A new type of PowerLink cable (Mark III) is provided with the speaker (5m) but additional lengths may be purchased separately if required. There is a single PowerLink socket on each BeoLab 3; if connecting to a non-Bang & Olufsen audio system a converter cable may be used to connect at line level.

The speaker fits in price-wise between BeoLab 6000 and BeoLab 8000. It can be used for either main speakers or for rear surround-sound. Its rated output is 250W. The unit looks similar to the BeoLab 2 sub-woofer. The Acoustic Lens Technology is developed from research with the BeoLab 5 active speaker; technology of which was developed in close cooperation with Sausalito Audio.

BeoLab 3 Press Release – January 2004

BeoLab 3: a new, compact loudspeaker with a surprisingly big sound

Bang & Olufsen’s latest loudspeaker is a minor acoustic masterpiece. With its compact dimensions, it fits in anywhere – and it has a surprisingly big sound for its size. “I’m very pleased to introduce our latest loudspeaker, BeoLab 3. It incorporates many of the technological features of our existing loudspeakers, including our top-of-the-range model BeoLab 5, which has been met with a tremendous enthusiasm from the international trade press. The many ways in which BeoLab 3 can be used and positioned will make these features more widely available, so more people can benefit from them” says President and CEO Torben Ballegaard Sørensen

BeoLab 3 is a highly versatile loudspeaker. It can be positioned in many different ways. Using the stand and fittings supplied, you can mount the loudspeaker on the wall or put it on a shelf or in a bookcase. You can also put BeoLab 3 wherever you like on the floor on its aluminium stand, the design of which matches the rest of Bang & Olufsen’s products. Depending on their use and the décor of the room, the loudspeakers can be placed to emphasise their distinctive design or so that they blend in with the surroundings. At the same time, the complex technology that produces its surprisingly big sound makes BeoLab 3 an obvious choice when it comes to stereo loudspeakers for your music system or the front and rear loudspeakers of a surround-sound home cinema set-up.

Greater acoustic freedom

A rather striking feature of the design is the acoustic lens on top of BeoLab 3. One advantage of the Acoustic Lens Technology* is that it permits greater freedom as regards positioning without impairing the sound quality and it also limits sound reflections from the floor and ceiling, delivering more precise reproduction. Creating such a big sound with such small loudspeakers was possible only by using a combination of Bang & Olufsen’s skills in the field of acoustics. The sides of the loudspeaker function as additional, passive speaker units and allow BeoLab 3 to move greater quantities of air (and therefore to reproduce lower notes) than would otherwise be possible in such a small, compact cabinet.

The built-in Bang & Olufsen ICEPower® amplifier modules guarantee the necessary power without generating the degree of heat given off by traditional amplifiers. BeoLab 3 was designed by Bang & Olufsen’s Chief Designer David Lewis, and besides its acoustic lens, the loudspeaker is also designed along the same lines as BeoLab 2, Bang & Olufsen’ s subwoofer, in terms of shape: a combination of a cube and a sphere. The cabinet is made of aluminium, with a matt black surface.

Mounting Options

From launch, BeoLab3 was available with circular desk mounting hoops, floor stands with internal cable routing and table stands.

BeoLab 4

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 4

BeoLab 4

“BeoLab 4 is a compact, flexible loudspeaker concept at a highly attractive price point. In addition to its use with the BeoSound 4 music system, BeoLab 4 can also be combined with PCs or be part of other Bang & Olufsen music systems. Offering a large number of positioning options, BeoLab 4 is scheduled for initial roll-out in the second quarter “- taken from Bang & Olufsen’s Financial Report, August 2005 .

 

BeoLab 4 was launched in November 2005 as a new entry-level loudspeaker concept. They are designed to be discreet yet offer exceptional performance for their size. They can be used as stereo loudspeakers with an audio system, as front or rear loudspeakers within a surround sound set-up, and as link room loudspeakers or with a computer.

BeoLab 4 are 2-way stereo loudspeakers with a 2cm tweeter and a 10 cm bass loudspeaker. Each driver is powered by a 30 Watt ICE power amplifier. They also feature a placement switch to adapt the bass performance depending on their position in the room. This is similar in operation to BeoLab 2 with a wall-mounted, corner or free-standing position. In line with the versatile concept, BeoLab 4 adapts its bass performance to the specific placement in the room. A switch is set to match a wall-mounted position, a corner position or a free-standing position to ensure optimum performance. BeoLab 4 features Adaptive Bass Linearization (ABL), Bang & Olufsen’s proprietary technology for ensuring superior bass performance from loudspeaker cabinets with modest physical dimensions.

Pyramid power to super charge your laptop

 

With a 3.5 mm mini jack Line input, dedicated PC mode and low price, BeoLab 4 is a realistic solution to be sold with non B&O masters such as PCs or as even for portable MP3 players There are two new adaptors to support connection to these sources:

6270273 2 – piece set of 3.5 mm mono mini plug > RCA M, for BL4 w/ non B&O system.

6270250 3.5mm stereo mini plug > 2 x 3.5 mono mini plugs for PC connected to BL4s

Placement

To support the versatility of the loudspeaker, BeoLab 4 is supported with a range of stand options. On its built-in foot, BeoLab 4 can easily be placed on a bookshelf or a table. Furthermore, BeoLab 4 can be mounted on the wall or to the ceiling by means of the optional wall and ceiling brackets. Finally BeoLab 4 can be placed on a dedicated floor stand.

Colour options

The covers are made of a special fabric and will be available in 4 different colours – Black, Dark Grey, Red and Blue. Thanks to a simple snap-on system, it is easy for the customer to change to another colour if required.

With the release of the BeoLab 4 loudspeaker, Bang & Olufsen has once again shown that excellent sound is wonderfully compatible with the design and crafting of a compact and intriguing cabinet. BeoLab 4 will be available towards the end of 2005. Despite its modest size, the pyramid-shaped BeoLab 4 is a true hi-fi loudspeaker, with the amplifier built in to the loudspeaker unit and a range of Bang & Olufsen proprietary acoustic technologies ensuring the best performance. In terms of design and placement options, BeoLab 4 is the perfect accompaniment to the new BeoSound 4 audio system, and the small dimensions suit well as rear speakers for home cinema, or as superbly performing PC loudspeakers.

Flexibility is the key

“In today’s audio market, flexibility is central to our business. Our customers expect to be able to hear music wherever they may be, without any diminishment in quality,” says Michael Jensen, Product Manager, Bang & Olufsen. “BeoLab 4 complements our other BeoLab loudspeakers and sound solutions by ensuring that listening experiences from the living room to the bedroom or home office are of an equally high quality.”

It is often unnecessary to use large loudspeakers as the rear speakers for home cinema, and BeoLab 4 can fill this role. Furthermore, BeoLab 4 has a dedicated PC mode, making it a superbly performing PC loudspeaker. Bang & Olufsen’s well-known BeoLink system ensures the total integration of all entertainment at home, and BeoLab 4 is a great solution for remote loudspeakers that can be placed discretely around the house and linked to home entertainment systems.

A perfect blend of expression and technology

 

BeoLab 4 is available with a range of stand options for the wall, floor or table that complement the stands for the new BeoSound 4 audio system. BeoLab 4 can even be tastefully hung from the ceiling, and the cloth covers are available in four colours. Three bass presets ensure that BeoLab 4 performs according to its placement in a room – whether in a corner, against a wall, or free-standing in the room.

BeoLab 4 is, like all BeoLab loudspeakers, an active loudspeaker, meaning that the amplifier unit is placed in the cabinet to ensure no deterioration of signal strength between the amplifier and loudspeaker unit. The ICEpower amplifier unit used is a patented Bang & Olufsen solution, allowing for an ultra-compact design, high power output, and cool operation. Adaptive Bass Linearisation, another proprietary Bang & Olufsen technology, offers superior bass performance from modestly- dimensioned loudspeaker cabinets. In addition, circuit protection technology ensures BeoLab 4 never overheats.

Mounting Options

BeoLab4 were conceived as a table top speaker with optional floor stands featuring a stainless steel turned pole. Cables could not be internally routed within the stand and so a silver sock was supplied, which proved not to be popular.
