Bang & Olufsen Beolab 2

Details

BeoLab 2 subwoofer delivers powerful, cinematic bass that immerses you fully in your audio experience. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does. Thanks to its 850-watt amplifier, the BeoLab 2 transforms your favorite films and music into an experience you can feel as well as hear. In fact, this subwoofer captures low-end frequencies that other speakers often miss, therefore giving you a truly remarkable sound experience.

Released in 2001, BeoLab 2 was specifically designed to handle the low-end frequencies of the sound spectrum. As a result, it enhances your surround sound setup and reveals audio details you may have never noticed before. Moreover, its compact size belies its power. In other words, BeoLab 2 delivers an immersive sound experience that fills the room, despite its size.

Advanced Adaptive Bass Linearization Technology in BeoLab 2

One of the standout features of BeoLab 2 is Adaptive Bass Linearization (ABL), a patented technology by Bang & Olufsen. This advanced feature optimizes bass performance by using surplus amplifier capacity to extend the bass without distortion. Consequently, ABL helps BeoLab 2 reproduce deep, clear bass even at high volumes. In addition, the technology ensures that the subwoofer takes full advantage of its drivers without overworking them, delivering rich, distortion-free bass.
