Crafting the perfect home theatre has long been a tricky game. Getting the latest and greatest sound system, for example, is often a hassle—as we wander around our living room, tinkering endlessly to install our latest surround sound speakers in the perfect spots, only to end up replacing them a few years later as soon as the tech improves.
Leave it to Bang & Olufsen to solve both those issues. The brand’s latest offering, the Beosound Theatre, is billed as the world’s ‘most powerful and immersive soundbar’ for a reason. After all, it delivers the same heft and depth that a multi-product home cinema sound system might, meticulously crafted to bring the magic of the cinematic experience to your place of greatest comfort.
And somehow, that may not even be its most impressive feature. This is built to not only be the ideal soundbar for your present, but for your future. In fact, it’s built to last for decades due to its modular design, which allows you to update, rather than replace.
Let’s take a peek inside, shall we? The Beosound Theatre comes with 12 speaker drivers, including two custom-made long stroke 6.5” woofers and 800 watts of amplification power, providing up to 112dB sound pressure level. IT also builds on the Width and Beam Direction Control developed for Bang & Olufsen’s flagship Beolab 90 speakers, introducing three-dimensional sound directivity due to the innovative combination of the direct, side- and up-firing speakers.
This means that all loudspeaker drivers are working together not only to produce sound, but to control its beam width and direction. That synergy is also why you don’t need a subwoofer.
Still want that full surround-sound feel? Add a pair of rear loudspeakers such as Beolab 28 in a triangular setup, for example, and you’ve got it. You can add up to 16 external loudspeakers, turning the Beosound Theatre into a full-blown Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround configuration.
Put simply, that means this is a true cinematic experience, easily upgradeable for years to come, built to be enjoyed to the same level no matter where you’re sitting in the room. And because it’s a B&O, it’s also flat out gorgeous, coming in Silver Oak, Silver Grey melange, and Gold Tone to suit your particular aesthetic.
