"BeoLab 18 represents the latest evolution in speaker design", said Lars Fredsgaard, Speaker Category Director at Bang & Olufsen. “After discovering a good quality wireless standard for high-end audio, we decided it was time to replace one of our most successful speakers with something better. In doing so, we've updated pretty much everything inside - from new drivers and amplifiers to an advanced digital audio platform. We believe it is one of the best wireless speakers produced to date, anywhere. And it's pure Bang & Olufsen design ”.

bold new design, precise craftsmanship

The most striking visual feature of 18 BeoLab is undoubtedly the front part lamellata, Available in black and white and oak. The choice of the strip gives interior designers a range of options that perfectly match the minimalist column in the designer Torsten Valeur anodized aluminum. Look closely and you will see that Torsten Valeur has made improvements to the sculptural line of its predecessor, the classic BeoLab 8000, with a style that overcame borders of craftsmanship.

The diffuser is balanced on an extruded aluminum cone that seems to touch the floor, both when it is hung on the wall and when it is positioned on the cast iron base. Twenty-one blades gently wrap around the diffuser to reveal it to sight and hearing. Thanks to the typical Bang & Olufsen tweeter with the acoustic lens suspended at the top, the “sweet spot” is yours regardless of where you are in the room. This design that combines form and function allows Bang & Olufsen to use the reed in front of the two main drivers and to produce extremely sharp high frequencies.

The combination of wood and aluminum is a clear allusion to the symbols of classic Bang & Olufsen design that looks to the future with great innovation through new wireless technology.

A compact column which delivers the superb acoustic performance

Thin lines of BeoLab 18 conceal an extraordinary series of digital components specially designed to deliver great sounds from a relatively small volume.

Two specially designed 4 ″ midrange / woofer drivers operate in parallel and are powered by dedicated 160-watt Class D amplifiers. The digital audio platform has been specially tuned to deliver compelling performance that overcomes the complexity of placing the reed in front of the two main drivers. The all-new platform also includes thermal protection, Adaptive Bass Linearisation and a

switch to adjust the sound according to the position in the room, so 18 BeoLab is always amazing regardless of what you play or where it is placed.
