Beolab 18 represents over 25 years of design and innovation, blending form, craftsmanship, and performance into a harmonious whole. Inspired by the iconic Beolab 8000, it pays tribute to a classic silhouette, while also elevating performance and flexibility. Moreover, with just a power cable, the Beolab 18 delivers multi-channel wireless audio throughout your space.
The Beolab 18 requires only a single power cable. In addition, it offers a seamless wireless audio experience, bringing Bang & Olufsen’s rich, immersive sound into your home. As a result, its simplicity unlocks amazing opportunities for multi-channel audio enjoyment.
Despite its slender design, the Beolab takes up very little space. Whether freestanding, tucked into a corner, or mounted on the wall, it fits almost anywhere. Furthermore, it blends seamlessly into any environment, adapting effortlessly to your space.
The Beolab aluminium pillar balances on its pointed base, while the crafted wooden lamellas extend sound across the room. Additionally, paired with the acoustic lens, it creates an elegant, immersive sound—a perfect mix of design and engineering.
More than just a visual masterpiece, the Beolab excels in audio performance. The acoustic lens spreads high frequencies in a 180-degree arc, therefore ensuring even sound throughout the room—beyond just the front.
Beneath its beautiful exterior lies cutting-edge technology. For instance, Adaptive Bass Linearization automatically adjusts the bass to suit the music, while room adaptation optimizes sound based on placement.
