Bang & Olufsen presents Beoconnect Core, a new streaming box that turns legacy Bang & Olufsen speakers into a wireless speaker system.
With Beoconnect Core, one can seamlessly stream music from their favourite app to Bang & Olufsen speakers dating back more than 30 years, connect their Bang & Olufsen turntable or music system to Bang & Olufsen speakers, as well as connect Bang & Olufsen speakers to any TV for immersive cinematic moments.
“Our aim is to build product icons that can last a lifetime, and Beoconnect Core is an important addition to our product offering, that enables us to deliver on this longevity promise. Beoconnect Core connects our past with our future and comes with our replaceable Mozart streaming module that can easily be upgraded to the newest technology”, says Michael Henriksson, Vice President of Product Marketing at Bang & Olufsen.
He continues: “This means that the products that our customers love can be used for years to come and continue to provide memorable moments.”
Devised with Cradle-to-Cradle principles in mind, Beoconnect Core’s design embodies Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to extending the lifetime of its products. It does so through easy upgradeability, long-term serviceability, as well as the replaceable Mozart streaming module to ensure that it can continue to carry Bang & Olufsen’s products into the future with the latest technology.
Beoconnect Core provides several connectivity options, such as Powerlink and USB optimized for the Beolab 50 and Beolab 90 speakers, and line-in for turntables and other sources. Beoconnect Core also allows Bang & Olufsen speakers to be connected to third-party screens with HDMI eARC for immersive cinematic moments, which are amplified with Bang & Olufsen sound fidelity.
With a gently curved, pearl-blasted aluminium chassis made to absorb heat and a non-conductive cover to ensure full antenna transparency, Beoconnect Core’s sleek and compact design is made to fit any room. Furthermore, Beoconnect Core can be installed into Beosound Shape using a bracket that can be flawlessly docked into a Beosound Shape tile.
