Prepare to be amazed! Bang & Olufsen has unveiled a truly special creation: the Beolab 90 Mirage Edition speakers. This isn't just a speaker; it's a work of art, and only ten lucky individuals will have the chance to own a pair. As part of their centenary Atelier program, these speakers are a celebration of design and sound.
What makes these speakers so unique? It's all about the finish. Each speaker boasts hand-anodized aluminum panels. But here's where it gets interesting: these panels don't just have a static color. Instead, they create a mesmerizing color shift, a gradual transition across the speaker's many angled surfaces. This effect isn't achieved through paint or printing; it's the result of light interacting with the anodized metal itself. Imagine the color tones changing as you walk around the speaker, or as the lighting in your room shifts throughout the day.
The design also incorporates textile panels. This is a smart move, as it maintains acoustic transparency. The original model's exterior geometry is preserved, so you still get that iconic Beolab 90 look.
But don't think this is just about aesthetics. The Mirage Edition retains all the technical prowess of the standard Beolab 90. This includes the multiple drivers strategically placed around the cabinet and the digitally controlled beam width and direction. Active amplification and room compensation systems are also built-in, ensuring optimal sound performance in any space. The internal components, dimensions, and acoustic performance specifications are exactly the same as the standard model.
And this is the part most people miss: each unit is meticulously assembled and finished by hand. They are individually numbered, a testament to their exclusivity.
