The BeoSound Shape speaker system is a culmination of what Bang & Olufsen is so revered for: technical wizardry and stunning design. The new wireless system disguises their premium speakers as fully customizable, modernist wall art, composed of hexagonal tiles. The three types of tile (speaker, acoustic damper and amplifier) can be combined in bespoke configurations to create the best sound profile to suit your room. A unique algorithm distributing the signals across the speakers means that wherever you stand, sound is at its optimum.
Price dependent on configuration; setup above is $13,000. Available at Bang & Olufsen in New York. Contact Nilas Porsman, general manager, madison_mgr@beo-mail.com, +1 212 879 6161, bang-olufsen.com
