Today at IFA 2022, Bang & Olufsen introduced the Beosound Theatre Dolby Atmos soundbar, which doubles as both a stylish speaker and a motorized TV stand. The Beosound Theatre is an all-in-one sound system containing 12 speaker drivers, including two custom-made, long-stroke 6.5-inch woofers. If you have grander plans for your audio setup, however, the Theatre can also form the heart of a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround system, thanks to its seven built-in outputs and support for up to 16 external loudspeakers.<\/p>\n

Advertised as providing a \u201csculptural, modular build,\u201d the interface bracket is motorized, allowing the TV to rotate so that users can find the best possible viewing angle, though if you have no need for it, you\u2019ll be able to buy the soundbar separately from the stand. You can also replace the soundbar later (as well as your TV) later if it suits you. The Beosound Theatre interface bracket \u2014 most people would call it a TV stand \u2014 itself also includes a compartment where you can hide cables and TV boxes from view.<\/p>\n

The Beosound Theatre will be available in a range of finishes and customizations, though details on these have not yet been provided. A version with a fabric cover will retail for $6,890, while one with a wooden cover will sell for $7,990, and both will be available to buy starting October 1st.<\/p>\n
