Product description
The compact active Beolab — a 15 mm soft-dome tweeter on B&O's Acoustic Lens spreads sound roughly 180° horizontally, over a 76 mm midrange and a 133 mm woofer in a sealed cabinet, driven by 300 W of class-D. Wi-Fi streaming built in and table, floor, wall or ceiling mounting make it the most placement-flexible Beolab.
