강력한 Dolby Atmos 사운드바에 대해 알아보기

NORM Architects's design style is sharp and crisp and focuses on quality, details and durability rather than on trends or technology. Elements which fit perfectly with Bang & Olufsen's philosophy. The inspiration behind Beosound Stage is Scandinavian design blended with Japanese minimalism. The core of the concept is flexibility of placement: it can be placed under the TV on the wall - which is the main position - or laying down on a shelf. Its geometry also reflects simplicity of expression. The frame is an infinite line running all the way around the product encapsulating the soft textile front and the powerful audio engine and speakers within. The control buttons are designed as a break of calmness whilst at the same time a visual continuation of the infinite lines.

The frame is a focal element of Beosound Stage both in aluminium and wood. The aluminium is cut out of one single piece with no joints, making it aesthetically pleasing as well as inviting. The carpentry skills used to create the precise dovetail joints on the sides of the oak frame, tell the story of our craftsmanship. The thickness of the frame is 2 mm and the distance between the frame and the cover is also 2mm. This to visually underline the contrast between the frame and the textile speaker front, and let the elements stand out by themselves. The wood version has a warm wooden frame in smoked oak, exclusive Kvadrat fabric and a rear cabinet in black. In addition to the classic aluminium touch interface, we have added ‘touch on wood’, made possible through a really complex manufacturing process. Of course, the textile speaker cover can be exchanged. In the box you will find a small tool to help you to easily remove the fabric cover in case you need to clean the dust that could get into the gap between the fabric and the profile. Or in case you want to change the colour of your Beosound Stage. You will never get bored with Beosound Stage as you can always follow the trends of interior décor or the changing of your home over time.

Bang & Olufsen's Beosound Stage is a three-channel system that delivers not only impressive stereo sound performance but also a focus on speech intelligibility. By offering a three-channel sound system with left/right stereo and a dedicated centre channel, and supported by Dolby Atmos decoding and processing, you achieve a surprising performance and flexibility with a variety of user controls. This means that it's a simple solution for watching movies and television programs, and also for "just" listening to music. Behind the front cover, you will find an active system with 11 speaker drivers in total. The four woofers are placed close together in the center so that, for low frequency bands, they can work together as a single unit.

The upper frequency bands of the centre channel are provided by two midrange drivers and a tweeter, which ensure that we can deliver clear, and easily understandable dialogue, even at higher listening levels. The left and right channels, are delivered using a single midrange driver and tweeter for each channel. These drivers are oriented in a tilted baffle that allows you to choose a wall- or table -placement. Once the loudspeaker is installed, you will simply need to indicate the position in the Bang & Olufsen App and the DSP will optimise the sound accordingly.

Dolby Atmos 객체 기반의 오디오 컨셉에 따라 일부 사운드가 개별 객체로 처리되므로 사운드의 위치를 공간의 어느 곳에든 둘 수 있으며, 심지어 청취자의 머리 위에서 소리가 울리게 할 수도 있습니다. 즉, 단순히 둘 이상의 채널을 라우드스피커의 현재 구성을 통해 직접 재생하는 대신 전체 사운드 필드의 일부가 맞춤형으로 “렌더링”되므로 라우드스피커 시스템을 이용해 얼마든지 극적으로 사운드를 믹스매칭할 수 있는 최상의 청취 환경이 실현됩니다.

Atmos 사운드의 현실감이 그토록 놀라운 주된 이유는 바로 오버헤드 사운드를 재현하는 능력이 뒷받침되기 때문입니다. 즉, 서라운드 버추얼라이저가 수신되는 멀티채널 신호의 서라운드 및 높이 채널을 처리하여 가상 서라운드 효과를 만들어냄으로써 사운드바의 폼 팩터를 보상해줍니다. 만일 그러한 채널이 존재하지 않을 경우(예: 2채널 스테레오) 이러한 여분의 채널이 프로세싱 중에 업믹스 부분과 동기화되며, 풀 서라운드 시스템의 사운드가 귀에 도달하는 방식과 똑같이 작동하는 오디오 프로세스를 통해 그 과정이 처리됩니다.

Dolby Atmos 사운드바는 최적의 효과를 위해 좌석에 앉은 청취자의 귀 높이 또는 그보다 바로 위에 마운팅되어야 하며, 청취자가 최대한 중앙에 위치해야 합니다. 즉, 청취자의 위치가 옆으로 치우칠수록 서라운드 버추얼라이저의 효과는 감소합니다. 따라서 최상의 결과를 원한다면 사운드바를 캐비닛 안에 넣거나 선반 아래에 두는 것은 피해야 합니다. 이렇게 할 경우 공명과 반향이 청취 위치의 사운드와 간섭을 일으킬 수 있기 때문입니다.
