Beosound A5 in Spaced Aluminium

Vice President of Product Marketing, Michael Henriksson, explains: “We have worked with different circular patterns across our speaker grille designs for many years. It has become a signature, but this is a brand-new style.”

He continues: “Usually, the circular shape is the hole in which sound flows through a speaker grille, whereas here we inverted the idea and made the circular shape the central attraction with a floating aesthetic experience, while the sound is effectively let through next to the discs. The impression of the “innovative floating discs” is created by use advance production methods, smart engineering and aspirational design, to make the optical illusion come true."

Spaced Aluminium joins the existing portfolio of Beosound A5 finishes - Nordic Weave and Dark Oak. Beosound A5, which launched in April 2023, sits at the junction where portable and home audio meet. Designed to be carried from room to room with ease, whether placed on the floor, shelf or table.

Thanks to an IP65 water and dustproof rating, Beosound A5 can also be taken outside and on any adventure, effortlessly. With more than 12 hours of playtime and a wireless phone charger integrated into the top panel of the speaker, Beosound A5 is Bang & Olufsen’s most versatile speaker to date, and the perfect portable audio companion. It is controlled by either a sleek user-interface or directly from the Bang & Olufsen App.

This edition took time to hone and refine and pushed our capabilities within aluminium design at Factory 5 past even our own expectations.

We’ve got a rich history in aluminium, and we’re intrigued by our past. Aluminium is a timeless material, that ages gracefully and reflects our values for creating products that last. Having said that, we’re also very inspired by the future of where we can take aluminium as a material for our products, pushing boundaries and developing new designs through creative experimentation. This is only the start.
