Bang & Olufsen’s new Beosound Stage is available in a number of different finishes. “We created Beosound Stage as a powerful soundbar that doesn’t rely on a subwoofer or satellites to create an immersive experience. The first time you hear Beosound Stage, the impact of the deep, powerful sound hits you immediately. And the simple minimalistic Scandinavian design makes it stand out like a piece of furniture. It is simply clean, elegant and powerful,” said Christoffer Østergaard Poulsen, Vice President of Product Management at Bang & Olufsen.
