    Beolab 11 launched.

    Hi,

    It seems that the beolab 11 is officially launched and should be revealed on april, the 14th:

    Bang & Olufsen A/S - Company Announcement
    Bang & Olufsen a/s launches BeoLab 11
    BeoLab 11 is a new elegant subwoofer from Bang & Olufsen which combines
    excellent bass performance, intriguing design and unorthodox placement
    possibilities.

    BeoLab 11 is composed of two identical loudspeaker cabinets, with baffles
    facing each other. The new subwoofer provides a significant addition to the
    bass experience in any small to medium loudspeaker setup, adding low
    frequencies from 300 Hz and down.

    The unique acoustic design of BeoLab 11 allows it to be placed on the floor, in
    a corner, or mounted on the wall. In fact, due to its minimal vibrations, it is
    one of the very few subwoofers in the world that can be mounted on a wall. And
    with the sculptural design of BeoLab 11, you will want to put it on display,
    instead of hiding it behind a sofa. The outer shells are made of aluminium and
    are available in silver and white.

    The launch of BeoLab 11 does not affect Bang & Olufsen's expectations for the
    current financial year.

    BeoLab 11 can be experienced together with BeoVision 10-46 and Adaptive Sound
    Technology at an event for the national and international lifestyle press,
    which takes place in DR Byen in Copenhagen Wednesday 14 April at 2.00 PM CET.


    Karl Kristian Hvidt Nielsen
    President & CEO


    For further information, please contact:
    President & CEO Karl Kristian Hvidt Nielsen, tel: +45 9684 5000

    The beovision 10-46 should also include the AST. Any ideas ofthe prices for that Beolab 11.

    Cheers, Marc.

    Re: Beolab 11 launched.

    I just looked on B&O's website and could not find this. Are there any official pictures that went with this announcement?

    No - this is just a financial press release, not a product launch. You'll see the pictures during/after the official launch, when a couple of dozen members start pasting them all over the forums Stick out tongue 

    (or after the Q3 financial report, which happens three hours earlier)

    I saw the photos when they were posted, except there were not any pictures of it mounted to the wall (<--- what I am most anxious to see!)

    Re: Beolab 11 launched.

    So having two drivers, does that mean it will reproduce left and right channels seperately or will it work like the BL2 (in this case two drivers, one channel)?

    Evan

    One channel only. The two drivers are run in the same phase - which actually becomes opposing phase as they are positioned facing each other - so it cancels out most mechanical vibration.

    Is there a picture of it wall-mounted anywhere?

    Thanks for the link...actually I was hoping for an actual photo rather than a drawing.

    The photo is on the top of the page when you click on the link. It seems to be on a wall bracket.

    Re: Beolab 11 launched.

    So is there any advantage other than being wall-mountable for this over the BL2?  One can get a used BL2 for cheaper than the BL11 now....Power rating for the BL2 seems to blow this one out of the water!  The more I see of the BL11 I'm not so sure I like the design...seems to be a little bit too anatomical right now.

    Any word on final price. I know people are saying around $2000?

    Looks better, cheaper, smaller, less vibration, metal, but less powerful (which can be an inconvenient or an advantage : small room, listening to music rather than dolby surround movies).

    Thanks for the reply.  My room is about 6 meters x 4 meters so relatively small.  I am currently using BL6000s as my surrounds and unfortunately don't live anywhere close to a B&O dealer so I won't be able to listen to the BL11.  I use it mainly for movies and video games but have it set up for listening for music as well with an audiophile quality turntable.

    From now on a ban on pictures of BeoCom 2 in combination with BeoLab 11 Laughing Yes -  thumbs up Beer

    The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

    This does seem to better fit into a stereo setup. It will probably replace the BL2 in a BL8000+BL2 setup.

    Re: Beolab 11 launched.

    I wonder if it will add much to the BL7.1 in movies. The BL7.1 goes down to 37 Hz, the BL11 to 33 Hz. Will that be noticable?

     

    I do want one though, because it just looks so stunning :)
