Highlights

Microbeam technology enables the delivery of powerful, precise sound from a compact form factor. The four high-sensitivity drivers (two at the sides and two centred) are arranged in a cross-firing configuration, allowing sound to beam across a 180-degree soundstage with a very wide sweet spot. The effect is a compact, dynamic home cinema speaker that immerses you deeper into the action.

Tweeter waveguide
Two tweeter wave guides on the top of the speaker add more sparkle to the sound with hi-fi qualities. Each wave guide consists of one soft dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet system that works with a dedicated amplifier and tuning. The 18 holes throughout the wave guide have increasing diameters to ensure a constant output level from each hole. The result is a virtual array of tweeters where every hole acts as a single tweeter, projecting high frequencies towards walls and reflecting sound towards the listener.

channel sound output
The B1 is equipped with 5.1 channels with 6 built-in amplifiers to deliver great sound quality. The 5.1 system uses the same speaker channels and configuration, with a front left and right, a centre channel, two surround channels and a subwoofer. It supports Dolby Digital Pro Logic 2.

Slim, compact subwoofer
Make big, space-filling subwoofers a thing of the past. With a depth of just 86 mm, it’s unobtrusive and easy to place in home cinema setups of any size. And the smaller size doesn’t mean compromised sound. The compact subwoofer uses a 6th-order bandpass racetrack design with an internal speaker that is tuned at different frequencies by two bass pipes, allowing for a wider frequency usage.

Bluetooth® (aptX® and AAC) Bluetooth® (aptX® and AAC) for wireless music steaming

One HDMI in available

Dolby Digital and DTS
Go digital and get the most out of your music and movies. Even stereo music sounds great because Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround enhance digital music and videos, pumping it up so you get truly immersive surround sound out of your home cinema speaker.
