    Why BeoLab?

    Reply Contact

    Does anybody know if there is a meaning behind the name Beolab. I suppose that BeoVox = Beo + Vox for Voice. Most of the other BeoNames make sense somehow. But BeoLab?

    Yes the meaning is Loudspeaker with Amplifier Built in

    Beolab !! 

    This may be completely wrong, but it kind of makes sense lol.

     
    Anybody know where "beolit" comes from?

    I imagine lit is for lightweight - or lit as in carrying - hence portable. Beolab was used first for the Beolab 5000 I believe, which was just an amplifier.

    Not to mention Beolab 150/200 :)

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

    I believe Beolit was named because the first model was made from Bakelite

    But why does some products have names, e.g. Penta, Ouverture and Avant, while most just have a number??

    Penta is quite obvious from the 5 sided shape of the cabinets - as for the rest??????Tongue Tied

    ouverture seems to be quite obvious too: ouverture comes from "ouvrir" with means "to open" in frensh
