Bang & Olufsen, the worldwide
manufacturer of high end audio and video products, partners with Art Basel
Miami Beach to provide state-of-the-art audio and video displays for the
2007 show in Miami, Florida. The award-winning BeoVision 7 LCD home theater
master, the BeoSound 6 and BeoSound 2 mp3 players, and the BeoVision 4
plasma screen will be featured in the Art Video Lounge, Art Sound Lounge,
and Art Salon. Bang & Olufsen's world renowned excellence in producing
clean, beautiful designs makes the company the ideal choice for exhibiting
true-to-life sound and picture art at the legendary Art Basel Miami Beach
show, Thursday - Sunday, December 6 - 9, 2007.
"We are very proud to partner with Art Basel Miami Beach this year,"
says Zean Nielsen, President of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. "As the most
important art show in North America it is an honor that Bang & Olufsen's
revolutionary designs have been chosen as the setting for the creative
sound and video art. Not only are our products a design statement in and of
themselves, but our superior acoustic and picture competences ensure that
the artists' works remain true to the original."
Guests will receive a hands-on experience of BeoVision 7 in the Art
Video Lounge, BeoSound 6 and BeoSound 2 in the Art Sound Lounge, and
BeoVision 4 in the Art Salon. Various video artworks will be streamed on
six BeoVision 7 40-inch flat screens for guests to enjoy while listening to
the Form 2 Headphones. The BeoSound 6 and BeoSound 2 mp3 players, also with
Form 2 Headphones, will deliver audio artwork while guests walk through the
gardens at the exhibit. During speeches and stage performances in the Art
Salon, the BeoVision 4 65-inch plasma screen will serve as the background
display for presentations and images.
Bang & Olufsen's BeoVision 7 combines state-of-the-art technology with
beautiful design to provide the perfect balance between sound and picture
performance, with its VisionClear(R) package of picture technologies and
acoustic clarity of the voice track. VisionClear(R) includes an
anti-reflective contrast screen that ensures a pleasurable viewing
experience even in strong daylight and a glare polarizer that improves the
screen's contrast conditions resulting in sharper images, more natural
movements, blacker blacks, and automatic picture control. BeoVision 7 lends
a magical user experience with its electronic curtains that glide aside
when switched on, a DVD loader that swings out gracefully from below the
screen, and its tilt-and-turn aluminum stands. Additionally, BeoVision 7 is
built with dual glass screens, making it as pleasant to view from the back
as it is from the front. MSRP $13,250.
BeoSound 6, Bang & Olufsen's newest mp3 player, consists of high
quality materials and detailed craftsmanship, resulting in a sleek design
that looks as good as it sounds. Surrounded by a stainless steel frame and
featuring a black soft-touch lacquered surface and a scratch-resistant
glass display, the result is crystal clear, impeccable design. BeoSound 6
delivers pure CD sound quality and allows up to 40 hours of playback --
double the market standard for battery life. MSRP $600.
Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound 2 is a stylish mp3 player with one-step
functionality and clean CD sound quality. It features a unique, round
stainless steel design and fits right into the pocket or carrying case for
discreet listening. The lack of any moving parts ensures no interruptions
of music playing and makes BeoSound 2 almost weightless. It utilizes SD
memory card technology, so music transferred from the computer or other
Bang & Olufsen audio players is easily enjoyed on the go. MSRP $460.
BeoVision 4 is Bang & Olufsen's plasma flat screen solution with superb
picture quality. Framed in robust brushed aluminum, the screen features a
special anti-reflection coating that prevents light reflections and the
Automatic Picture Control sensor adjusts brightness and contrast in any
light condition of the room. Based on a global digital platform -- the
BeoSystem 3 processor -- it accommodates up to seventy connections,
including HDMI, cable, satellite, High Definition DVD, mp3 players, and has
a built-in home theater control module. BeoSystem 3's picture engine
constantly analyzes and optimizes incoming signals and measures the
changing light levels in the room, ensuring the best viewing experience
possible. MSRP $13,500.
