True luxury isn't just about how a product looks; it's about how it makes you feel. At NETWORKDISTRI.COM, we are proud to present the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 3rd Generation (Model: 1736002). This latest iteration of the award-winning portable Bluetooth speaker takes everything the world loved about its predecessor and elevates it with professional-grade acoustics, industry-leading 24-hour battery life, and a historic commitment to environmental sustainability.
Overview: Precision Engineering Meets Danish Design Excellence
Designed by the legendary Cecilie Manz, the 3rd Gen Beosound A1 portable speaker is a study in Scandinavian minimalism. Crafted from pearl-blasted anodized aluminum and featuring 2,173 precision-milled acoustic holes, it is as much a piece of contemporary art as it is a high-performance wireless speaker.
But don't let the elegant design fool you—this premium Bluetooth speaker is IP67-rated, meaning it is fully dustproof and waterproof (submersible up to 1 meter for 30 minutes), ready to accompany you from the bathroom shower to the beach, poolside parties, hiking trails, or camping adventures without missing a beat.
Key Design Features:
- Premium aluminum construction with Natural, Black Anthracite, and Gold Tone finishes
- Genuine leather carrying strap for portable convenience
- Compact dimensions: 133mm diameter × 46mm height
- Lightweight at just 558 grams (1.23 lbs)
- 360-degree omnidirectional sound dispersion
Unrivaled Audio Components & Sonic Performance
Professional-Grade Speaker Drivers
The Largest Woofer in its Class: A powerful 3.25-inch (82.5mm) long-throw woofer paired with a precision 0.6-inch (15mm) dome tweeter, each powered by a dedicated 30W Class D amplifier delivering 60W Total Peak Power for a compact portable speaker.
True 360-Degree Sound Technology: The unique acoustic hole pattern ensures an omnidirectional soundstage with even sound distribution, filling any medium-sized room (up to 40m²) or outdoor gathering with rich, balanced audio across all frequencies.
Enhanced Bass Response: The 3rd Gen features a 2dB boost in bass performance compared to the 2nd Gen model, delivering punchy, deep lows that defy its compact size. Perfect for bass-heavy genres like EDM, hip-hop, jazz, and orchestral music.
Audiophile Wireless Codecs: Supports Qualcomm aptX Adaptive and AAC codec for high-bitrate Bluetooth 5.1 wireless streaming that preserves every detail of your music with minimal compression and ultra-low latency.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Bang & Olufsen's proprietary tuning ensures optimal frequency response, dynamic range compression, and adaptive equalization for any environment.
