BeoSound 5
Your Music At Your Fingertips
The long awaited Digital Music player from B&O strikes out in a new direction for the Danish Company. Revolutionary control surfaces mean that the days or smudged touch screens are a thing of the past, yet the controls maintain a real sense of interaction with the music.
More Of The Same
This is what makes the Beosound 5 special. Unlike other products on the market, this actually compares the actual music using a complicated algorithm to make an never ending musical play list completely automatically. You can construct your own list but MOTS will still, if you wish continue this on once your choices have reached the end.
A Perfect Pair
The Beosound 5 is partnered with the new Beomaster 5. This is an updated Beomedia and has a storage capacity of 500Gb. All Beosound 5s will come with the Beomaster 5 and it is also possible to have the Beomaster 5 built into a Beovision 9. Up to 28,000 tracks at WMA Lossless quality can be stored on the disc which should mean enough music to play a new track without repeating itself for 75 days.
Later versions had the more reliable 1Tb HDD fitted which could store double the amount of music!
Mounting Options
The head unit is supplied with a flat to wall bracket in the box. Optional mounts extended (angled) wall mount, table mount and floor mount were all available from launch. A wall mount bracket for the connection box was launched with BeoSound 5
BeoVision 7
“BeoVision 7 is more than just a TV; it’s a complete entertainment system specially created to offer a sound and picture experience far beyond expectations. With its 81cm LCD screen, built-in DVD player and powerful active loudspeaker system, BeoVision 7 offers all the benefits of flat-screen viewing, but with exceptional sound performance as well.”
BeoVision 7 combines both an 81cm LCD monitor with an integrated DVD Player, DSS surround sound module and a dedicated loudspeaker in BeoLab 7-1. The concept emphasises the separation of picture and sound together with a good number of placement options. With BeoLab 7-1 the very highest level of acoustic performance is delivered. BeoVision 7 has a higher display resolution than that of BeoVision 6 – 26: 1366 x 768 (WXGA) pixels against 1280 x 768 pixels of BeoVision 6.
BeoVision 7 may be used as either a stand-alone television set or as a large-screen monitor within a domestic surround-sound system. There are five different stand placement options available to the user:

BeoSound 4
BeoSound 4 is a new audio product offering a complete audio experience. It has a CD player, FM / DAB radio and built-in SD memory card reader / writer. The DAB module will be included as standard for the UK and Irish markets is actually a factory-fitted option for any other markets. The unit is a full Audio Master (N.Music and N.Radio compatible) and can therefore be used to distribute sound through users’ BeoLink systems.
The new feature introduced on BeoSound 4 is the SD memory card reader / writer. This function replaces that traditionally provided by the audio cassette tape. The user can copy music from a CD or the Radio directly onto the memory card which will be compressed at 128kbps. The card can then be used in other compatible products such as BeoSound 2 and BeoSound 3. As it is possible to copy music onto a memory card using only BeoSound 4, this now offers access to digital music to a much wider audience – even those who do not own a computer. However, music can also be copied from a computer directly onto the memory card, be removed and then played back on BeoSound 4.
Placement
BeoSound 4 can be placed on a table or shelf as it is a free-standing product. Alternatively it is possible to mount it on a Floor Stand or on a Wall Bracket.
Mounting Options
From launch, BeoSound 4 could be wall mounted or positioned on a floor stand. The floor stand featured a turned stainless steel column which could not hide the connection cables. This solution was not a popular choice.
BeoSound 4 – the new compact audio system, with a touch of magic
Bang & Olufsen continues to surprise and delight music lovers with the new BeoSound 4, a compact audio system that exploits digital music storage and portability while offering the quality performance and usability expected from a traditional Bang & Olufsen audio system. BeoSound 4 will be available from November/December 2005.
BeoSound 4 is an audio system with built-in CD player, FM radio, and SD (Secure Digital) card slot. DAB radio is also available as an option, factory fitted. It is possible to record from the radio or CD to the SD card and play back the recording on BeoSound 4, or on another portable or stationary system.
Use and place anywhere at home
Bang & Olufsen’s well-known BeoLink system ensures the total integration of all entertainment at home, and BeoSound 4 offers the additional advantage of being able to send music played back from the SD card to loudspeakers throughout the house. The SD card increases flexibility in other ways as well, allowing the user to listen to recorded music in the garden with the new BeoSound 3 portable audio system or away from home on the BeoSound 2 digital music player.
“BeoSound 4 represents a new way of living with recorded digital audio entertainment, and yet the simplicity of the system and ease of use will have that reassuring feel of familiarity for the user,” says Michael Jensen, Product Manager, Bang & Olufsen. “BeoSound 4 has that touch of magic that shows its pedigree, and at the same time offers the integration with digital music formats that is increasingly important for how we listen to music.”
BeoSound 4 can be placed almost anywhere on its floor, table or wall stand. Angled for convenient operation, the glass door half-opens at the wave of a hand, and the operation panel with SD card slot is presented to the user. Press ‘Load’, and the glass cover rises further for the CD loader. Connect BeoSound 4 to any BeoLab loudspeakers, and in particular with the new and equally compact and refined BeoLab 4 loudspeakers.
Big impact expected
With a price that lies under what is usually expected of a Bang & Olufsen product, Bang & Olufsen expects that BeoSound 4 will capture a lot of interest from first-time buyers in the market. The digital portability offered by the SD card built into BeoSound 4 is consistent with Bang & Olufsen’s strategy to ensure that wherever the company’s customers may be, they can have their entertainment choices with them.
“With BeoSound 4, we have succeeded in building an audio system that lives up to the very high standards expected from Bang & Olufsen, from the idea behind the concept and design to the choice of materials and craftsmanship – and not least the ease of use and performance,” concludes Michael Jensen, Product Manager, Bang & Olufsen.

BeoSound 3
” BeoSound 3 is a new compact music system comprising FM radio and SD card player for e.g.. music recorded on BeoSound 4. The products represents a genuine portable solution with integrated, rechargeable battery, soft-touch operation, clock-radio function, and a high quality loudspeaker. BeoSound 3 is scheduled for the second quarter of the financial year ” – taken from Bang & Olufsen’s Financial Report, August 2005
Although conceptually based on the classical transistor radio concept, BeoSound 3 is a product with modern functionality. The unit features built-in FM radio with the ability to store up to 99 pre-set frequencies. When the radio is switched on the antenna rises automatically and elegantly, similar to BeoSound 1.
With the memory card functionality the user may listen to favourite digitally-stored music on the BeoSound 3. Whereas BeoSound 2 is for the individual, BeoSound 3 can be for the whole family to enjoy. Bang & Olufsen can now offer the user a complete solution for digital music entertainment. Recorded from BeoSound 4 or transferred directly from the computer to the memory card, users can choose to take the music with them – either on BeoSound 2 or on BeoSound 3.
With the built-in wake-up timer functionality, BeoSound 3 may be used as a clock radio to wake up to in the morning.
Flexibility in placement
BeoSound 3 can be placed upright or hung on a dedicated wall bracket supplied with the unit.
Rechargeable battery
As it is supplied with a rechargeable battery, the unit is entirely free of power cables and can easily be moved from one place to another without having to plug and unplug. BeoSound 3 is a truly portable “place-and-play” product.
BeoSound 3 delivers portable and personal sound with style
In appearance, the new BeoSound 3 portable audio system from Bang & Olufsen echoes past traditions, while on the inside the technology looks to the future. BeoSound 3 is available from November/December 2005.
BeoSound 3 has an FM radio, SD (Secure Digital) card reader and clock-timer elegantly packaged together with a rechargeable battery in the robust, anodised aluminium cabinet. The full-range mono loudspeaker’s performance belies the small size of BeoSound 3, and provides clear rendition of music and vocal broadcasts.
Truly ‘place and play’
The distinctive appearance makes BeoSound 3 stand out from the conventional or ‘retro’ portable music systems available on the market today. “BeoSound 3 is truly a portable concept, built for robustness and with an acoustic design that facilitates sound clarity,” says Brian Stilling Laursen, Product Manager, Bang & Olufsen. “The form appears quite extraordinary at first, and yet in use BeoSound 3 proves remarkably effective with what we call ‘classic transistor radio’ use.”
In addition to the FM radio, the ability to play music and radio recorded on the new BeoSound 4 audio system offers the ease of listening to, for example, CD quality music away from home played on the very robust flash memory SD card. The SD card can also be used when on the move with the BeoSound 2 digital music player.
The large, black handle is immediately apparent to the user. The handle clicks into one of five positions at rest, ensuring no ‘clatter’ against the aluminium cabinet. In addition to the obvious placement standing on its base pretty much anywhere, BeoSound 3 is supplied with a wall bracket that fits tightly around the handle. This enables fixed placement beside the bed, for example, if the user wishes to use the clock, wake-up timer, and stop-timer functionality built in to BeoSound 3.
An experience for now – and the future
All operation of the BeoSound 3 happens on the soft-touch top panel. Soft-touch operation on aluminium was pioneered by Bang & Olufsen on the BeoCenter 2 audio and DVD system, and the absence of protruding buttons and knobs only increases the ease and convenience of carrying and placing BeoSound 3. The motorised antenna rises automatically when the radio is switched on.
Bang & Olufsen aims to be wherever the company’s customers are, with entertainment solutions that do not compromise the quality of the listening experience. “Considering the appeal of the ‘traditional’ transistor radio concept and the addition of the future-secure SD card functionality, we fully expect BeoSound 3 to be a huge hit among both existing and new Bang & Olufsen customers,” concludes Brian Stilling Laursen, Product Manager, Bang & Olufsen.

BeoLab 10
Big sound in a slender package
BeoLab 10 is a powerful new centre speaker which perfectly matches the slim design and awesome picture quality of BeoVision 4. The big internal speaker volume and digital ICEpower amplifiers offer performance that can measure up to any surround sound set-up, even complementing the mighty BeoLab 5 without running out of steam. And though BeoLab 10 has a slender, wall-hugging profile, it has still been possible to fit the case with Acoustic Lens Technology, delivering detailed sound to everyone in the audience.
Iconic symmetry
A wall-mounted BeoVision 4 is not only the perfect partner for the BeoLab 10, it is the screen the speaker was designed for. Together they form a very distinct whole, making it hard to believe that they where not developed at the same time. The synergy of the basic shapes – the square and the triangle – is iconic Bang & Olufsen television design. So simple, yet so effective.
Focus on the centre
Every movie genre sets new challenges for dialogue reproduction, from breakneck exchanges in a comedy to delicate undertones in a drama. In a surround sound setup, as much as eighty percent of voice information goes through the centre channel. Voices and other crucial sound information should appear to come directly from the screen and be every bit as clear and dynamic as the most demanding piece of music. BeoLab 10 draws on Bang & Olufsen’s unrivalled expertise in all-purpose sound and is fitted with our best technology. The next time you watch a movie, you won’t miss a whisper.
Mounting Options
The wall mount bracket for BeoLab 10 is supplied with the speaker from the factory.
