Hi,

The party can start in this VAN. I am not sure the Mercedes-Benz Viano Van with B&O soundsystem has already been on topic on beoworld. So here we go:

4x ALT

18 speakers, 1380W

The new BeoSound Viano sound system also features Bang & Olufsen’s patented Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT)
Two ALT lenses up front on the instrument panel and two on the rear C-pillar.
The unique ALT technology disperses sound in a 180-degree horizontal plane to create a vivid sound stage, regardless of seating positio

Regards, Robert

So uncool x 1000! Bling bling chavy! Oh B&O you will never learn will you? And you wonder why some of us prefer Apple!

Soooo uncool!

Looks (and probably sounds) good, but I just can't see how those rear ALTs would survive more than a few weeks in actual use...

There will be a party because usually MB has no problems selling AMG cars.

If this is for sale, then it's pretty ordinary.

If it's just a fun design exercise, then hopefully that's all it is...a design exercise!

As a "white van man" I am at a loss to understand how they have managed to completly cover the sound of the diesel engine. I know this can be in cars as they have a lot more places to pack the sound proofing.
