Bang & Olufsen

Each speaker is equipped with eighteen Scan-Speak speakers (seven 30 mm high-frequency speakers, seven 8.6cm midrange speakers, three 21 cm side and rear woofers and one 26 cm front woofer) and an amplifier array with a total power of 8.2 kW, which includes 14 ICEpower AM300-X amplifiers with a power of 300 Watts each and 4 Heliox AM1000-1 amplifiers, each providing up to a kilowatt.

Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90 Phantom Edition relies on the most "inconspicuous" appearance: a translucent black PVD acoustic grid opens up a view of the technical stuffing. The B&O marketing department calls this "holographic visual depth." Manual carbon lamination is present on the front panel, shoulder pads and base panels, and the sandblasted aluminum frame forms the supporting "skeleton" of the structure. The aesthetics of motorsport are applied to a speaker that already looks like it came from another planet.

Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90 Mirage Edition presents the opposite approach: the finish changes color from sapphire blue to magenta depending on the viewing angle. The five aluminum elements on each speaker are anodized with a wavy texture, according to the designers, which is how B&O visualizes the connection between sound and light. The company's laboratory did a good job: they manually polished the surfaces and created these color transitions.
