BeoSound 5

Respect for your music
BeoSound 5 is like having a record collection all over again – without the dust. Embrace the digital age while enjoying the complete experience of full sound quality, flipping though inspiring album covers with friends, and listening to the music you love. Keep the visual aspects and uncompromising sound quality of your existing CDs and future music purchases – without the physical hassle of a bulky music collection, and without those ugly computers in the living room.



Forget playlists. Forget genres
BeoSound 5 respects your taste in music. It actually ‘listens’ to the song you are playing – analysing the sound, dynamics, rhythmic aspects etc. – to find More Of The Same from your collection. When you play a song, it is like planting a seed. MOTS grows that seed into a musical flower garden that matches your mood completely. Every time a song ends, it is followed automatically by another that matches it harmoniously, unless you choose otherwise. You can of course still play a whole album or an old-fashioned playlist. MOTS is not concerned with information like artist or album, so the experience becomes one of rediscovering your music in new contexts.
 








Touch the music that touches you
Your music collection may have moved out of your living room, but with BeoSound 5, you still get the sensation of holding album covers in your hand. After all, the visual aspect of good album art says more than a thousand info tags. Control BeoSound 5 with the sturdy and welcoming aluminium navigation cylinder for direct and easy interaction with your songs and albums, which are shown flawlessly on the beautiful screen. No greasy fingerprints, no flimsy plastic. The compact shape is unmistakably Bang & Olufsen: Bold and beautiful lines, the best materials, and a deep sense of function over flash.

Go digital without compromise
Built with some of the best signal processing on the planet, BeoSound 5 supports playback of WMA lossless files. This file format contains the bits that go missing from compressed MP3 music. When nothing is missing, not even the cover art, you can finally leave CDs behind. BeoSound 5 owes it all to its hardworking companion BeoMaster 5. This unassuming black box contains storage for up to one thousand CDs in lossless quality and the important sockets for internet radio, managing music via your computer, showing photos on your BeoVision, and playing multi room music via BeoLink.
