The Beoconnect Core brings new life to your vintage B&O speaker collection.
Bang & Olufsen has released the Beoconnect Core, a new streaming box that promises to change even 30-year-old B&O speakers into modern wireless sound systems. This device connects the company’s audio past with today’s streaming culture. It shows Bang & Olufsen’s promise to make products last longer through easy upgrades and long-term service.
“Our aim is to build product icons that can last a lifetime, and Beoconnect Core is an important addition to our product offering, that enables us to deliver on this longevity promise.” says Michael Henriksson, Vice President of Product Marketing at Bang & Olufsen.
“Beoconnect Core connects our past with our future and comes with our replaceable Mozart streaming module that can easily be upgraded to the newest technology. This means that the products that our customers love can be used for years to come and continue to provide memorable moments.”
Beoconnect Core Features
Beoconnect Core uses the Mozart streaming module to let users stream music from their favorite apps directly to their B&O speakers. This streaming module is also designed to be easily updatable via the Bang & Olufsen app to make the Beoconnect Core more future-proof.
Plus, the Beoconnect Core’s streaming function supports HiFi.
This makes every beat, breath, and cinematic score stand out clearly and brightly, just as the artist wanted. It can change built-in B&O speakers, like the Celestial, into a high-quality sound system while cleaning up cable mess.
Aside from that, the Beoconnect Core is really flexible.
It can work with your B&O turntable or music system to your speakers using the Powerlink, USB, and line-in connection options. And, you can even connect your speakers to any TV for an exciting cinematic experience using the HDMI eARC.
This means you can easily add the Beoconnect Core to your existing setup, whether you have old B&O gear or the latest models.
In addition to its functionality, the Beoconnect Core boasts a beautiful design that isn’t just for show. The gently curved, pearl-blasted aluminum body absorbs heat and has a non-conductive cover that allows full antenna transparency.
Bang & Olufsen also knows that people want different things. So, they made it easy to fit the Beoconnect Core into any setup, even complex ones like the Beosound Shape. They have a special custom-made bracket that makes sure it fits just right with your setup so it won’t look out of place.
Beoconnect Core vs. BeoSound Core
The Beoconnect Core should not be confused with the BeoSound Core released five years ago.
The main difference lies in their functionalities and target speakers.
BeoSound Core is a connectivity hub made to change Beolab speakers into a wireless speaker system, providing a future-proof and smooth music experience.
In contrast, Beoconnect Core is a streaming box that updates older Bang & Olufsen speakers and Beolab speakers. This allows wireless streaming and connectivity options for many B&O speakers as well as line-ins for turntables and other sources.
Where to Buy
The Beoconnect Core is available now for $1150. You can buy it directly from Bang & Olufsen’s website or from select retailers.
