OFF THEWALL MUSIC

LOVE SOUND ENJOY S ILENCE

CELEBRATE ORIG INALITY

BeoSound Shape is a new wall-mounted wireless speaker system from Bang & Olufsen, made for the design

conscious music lover. The solution delivers immersive sound staging, a customizable design and integrated

noise dampers for improved room acoustics.

DESIGNING WITH ACOUSTICS

IN M IND

ACOUST IC S BEOSOUND SHAP E FAB RI C

COVER : PURP LE HE ART

Sound is noise and music alike  — both integral elements of our environments. When designing indoor spaces, private or commercial, we seek to eliminate noise while making room for pleasant music and audio experiences, and usually within the confinements of conventional acoustic panels and hi-fi installations. But it is time to take an integrated approach to designing with sound in mind.

“The indoor climate is all-important to our well-being. One aspect is light. Another factor is air quality.

But equally important are the acoustics as they impact us on both a physical and psychological level.”

Designer, Øivind Alexander Slaatto

A BAN D ON THE WALL

BeoSound Shape serves a dual purpose by being the design- driven solution to the prevailing issue of poor indoor acoustics, whilst delivering innovative and social music experiences that bring ‘the band’ back into the room. Rather than optimising sound for a single fixed position, the speaker system cleverly utilises a setup with multiple speaker tiles to deliver a concert- like perception of singer and instruments  — no matter the listening position.

NATURAL SHAPES AND ENDLESS VARIAT IONS

TH E CONCEPT

Unlike any other speaker system, BeoSound Shape is designed to provide ultimate creative freedom  — letting you define the size, shape, colours and even the sound performance to match your preferences. The modular tile concept behind BeoSound Shape is based on a single geometric shape, the hexagon. Each tile serves a function as either speaker, amplifier or acoustic damper and can be pieced together in endless combinations to serve rooms both big and small.

“The hexagon is one of nature’s favoured forms, seen in anything from snowflakes to honeycombs, and makes perfect sense in repetitive and expanding structures.

Every outcome is unique and there is a sense of natural beauty in these infinite variations.”

Say you need to improve the acoustic properties of a large room with lots of hard surfaces. In this case, you would incorporate sufficient acoustic damper tiles in your design. For a bustling hotel lobby that transforms into a lively cocktail bar at night, an ample speaker tile setup will guarantee the perfect musical backdrop.

But don’t just think of BeoSound Shape as a functional asset.With a vast choice of colours we are making music an aesthetic experience too. No two configurations are likely to be the same, but each one will undoubtedly leave a lasting visual imprint on every wall and every room.
