Bang & Olufsen Beolab 7-1

Details

The active BeoLab 7-1 loudspeaker fits perfectly with the BeoVision 4-37, BeoVision 4-42, and BeoVision 7-32. It stands out as one of the most advanced and powerful options for a home cinema setup. Moreover, this exceptional speaker features six individual driver units. Each unit has its own digital ICEpower amplifier, which ensures impressive sound quality. In addition, the beam-shaped design positions the loudspeaker below the television screen. This placement delivers superior acoustic performance that rivals many high-fidelity systems. For added versatility, you can use a special tabletop stand for convenient placement.

Elegant Design and Durable Construction of BeoLab 7-1

The cabinet consists of a single piece of aluminum and features a durable black soft-touch lacquer finish. Additionally, the perforated aluminum front grille comes anodized in five vibrant colors: black, dark grey, light grey, blue, and red. This variety allows you to match your home decor effortlessly.

Advanced Sound Engineering of BeoLab 7-1

The innovative three-way bass reflex design incorporates six dedicated units—two each for treble, mid-range, and bass. Consequently, the total output reaches 750 watts from its unique built-in ICEpower amplifiers. This configuration enables the BeoLab 7-1 speaker to deliver robust and dynamic sound. Furthermore, both the BeoLab 7-1 and its larger counterpart, the BeoLab 7-2, include thermal protection circuits and Adaptive Bass Linearisation (ABL). This design ensures maximum performance without distortion, even at high volume levels. Ultimately, it provides an immersive audio experience for your favorite films and music.
