Bang & Olufsen today launches Beoconnect Core – a new streaming box that transforms classic Bang & Olufsen speakers into a wireless speaker system. With Beoconnect Core, users can effortlessly stream music from their favorite app to Bang & Olufsen speakers, connect their Bang & Olufsen record player or music system to Bang & Olufsen speakers, and connect Bang & Olufsen speakers to any TV for immersive movie moments. This can be done even with products that are more than 30 years old.
"Our goal is to create products that last a lifetime, and Beoconnect Core is an important addition to our product offering that enables us to deliver on our promise of longevity for our products. Beoconnect Core connects our past with the future and comes with our replaceable Mozart streaming module, which can easily be upgraded to the latest technology," says Michael Henriksson, Vice President of Product Marketing at Bang & Olufsen and continues: "This means that the products our customers love can be used in many years to come and keep creating memorable moments.”
Beoconnect Core is designed based on the cradle-to-cradle principles and is an example of Bang & Olufsen's work to extend the lifespan of their products. Through simple upgrading, permanent serviceability and the replaceable Mozart streaming module, it is ensured that Bang & Olufsen's products can be brought into the future with the help of the latest technology.
Beoconnect Core provides multiple connectivity options such as Powerlink and USB, optimized for the Beolab 50 and Beolab 90 speakers and line-in for turntables and other sources. In addition, Beoconnect Core makes it possible to connect Bang & Olufsen speakers to third-party monitors with HDMI eARC, so that users can experience captivating movie moments, which are enhanced with Bang & Olufsen's sound quality.
With a slightly curved, bead-blasted aluminum base made to absorb heat, and a non-conductive cover that ensures full transparency for the antenna, the Beoconnect Core's slim and compact design is made to fit into any room. In addition, the Beoconnect Core can be installed in the Beosound Shape using a bracket that can be connected to a Beosound Shape tile.
