Bang & Olufsen Beosound A5 Speaker GamFratesi Scandinavian Summer 2023 design edition

Bang & Olufsen X GamFratesi Beosound A5 Speaker marries the exceptional sound and iconic craftsmanship Beolit design with architectural artistic aesthetics for an immersive acoustically luxury designed timeless experience.

B&O Beosound A5 is the most powerful portable high-end speaker this season with a combined 280 watts of power, offering a dynamic 360-degree sound in large capacity rooms through four digital amplifiers with high precision technology combination from the leading Beolab 90 and 50 hi-fi speakers series.

Showcasing the best of Scandinavian design excellence, B&O Beosound A5 in Nordic Weave natural aluminium with a woven paper fibre front features a light oak handle, creating a feeling of laid-back Scandinavian summers spent at the beach while the black anthracite aluminium version paired with Dark Oak wood speaker cover and handle evokes the aesthetic of winter woodlands. 

Blending beautifully indoors or outdoors,  the Beosound A5 solid oak handle allows the speaker to be carried from room to room in a home, looking good on the table, shelf or floor or outside whenever you go as it has an IP65 water and dustproof rating. 

Modularly designed, Beosound A5 changes its look with Bang & Olufsen exchangeable front covers in new materials and colours to evolve with multiple styles and identities. The internal body sections are easily serviced and repaired to extend its lifetime if needed, eco friendly and sustainable rather than be replaced by a new speaker.

Offering more than 12 hours of playtime and a wireless phone charger integrated into the top panel of the speaker, the Beosound A5 is controlled by the sleek user-interface or from the Bang & Olufsen App on its Mozart software platform, providing the most up-to-date features across audio, connectivity, and software design.
