The Beolab 8 sings in any space. When combined, they put on a show.

Since 1925, Bang & Olufsen has created iconic audio and home entertainment products to the highest standards of sound, craft, and design.

Over the decades, the brand has evolved by pushing the boundaries of technology and design, making it an undisputed leader in the world of sound and entertainment. Today, we take a closer look at the Beolab 8 – a speaker that embodies versatility and shines on its own, but also sings in any setup and performs wherever it’s placed.

This surround sound powerhouse takes on the role of the ultimate sound system at home. When two Beolab 8 speakers are paired, expect powerful and precise stereo sound for a high-fidelity music experience. As a single point of sound, its stand-alone speaker capabilities allow it to deliver depth with an intense bass. Complementing the speaker are four slender and sculptural stand options, which utilize Bang & Olufsen’s expertise in aluminium manufacturing. While the table stand is designed to create a floating illusion, the discreet ceiling bracket and floor stand are polished to perfection.

“Our goal is to create powerful and immersive listening experiences for our customers,” shares Michael Henriksson, Vice President of Product Marketing at Bang & Olufsen. “Beolab 8 provides exactly this. It is a scalable speaker that is all about flexibility, performance, and innovation. Drawing inspiration from the high-end Beolab range, our aim for Beolab 8 was to distil the acoustic essence of these impressive speakers into a compact offering that maintains the directivity and sound beam control for optimal sound reproduction in any environment.”

Dive deeper into the Beolab 8’s capabilities and you’ll discover that the speaker’s beam width control allows users to switch between two listening experiences. Whether placed on the table, floor, on the walls, or hung from the ceiling, the Beolab 8 offers the ability to narrow down with precision audio to optimize the sweet spot for the listener. What’s more, users can choose to go wide and diffuse sound throughout the room whilst the front LED’s on the speaker displays which sound mode status the speaker is in.

The Room Compensation feature also provides an optimized soundscape based on a room’s unique acoustics. The speaker can map its environment to deliver crystal clear quality no matter the size or space of the room. And through adaptive sound tuning, the Beolab 8 adapts to its own configuration by using sensors to detect the front cover and fine-tune sound for optimal performance.

Beyond technological capabilities, aesthetics play an important role in the whole Beolab 8 experience, which is designed to look beautiful from every angle. Crafted with either Danish-manufactured wooden lamellas or a fabric front, and available in colorways like Silver/Natural Aluminium, Gold Tone, or Black Anthractie, it follows the same characteristic design of Bang & Olufsen’s Beolab and Beosound products including Beosound Theatre, Beolab 28, and Beolab 50.

Finally, with Bang & Olufsen’s Mozart platform at the heart of the Beolab 8, it can connect easily through WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. Connectivity steps up further with Powerlink, both wireless and wired built into the speaker, which allows the Beolab 8 to seamlessly link with Bang & Olufsen TVs and sound systems that date back more than 30 years.
