Acoustic Innovation Hidden in Sculpture.
The Beosound Balance creates a unique equilibrium between interior object and high-fidelity audio instrument. The acoustic architecture rests on a solid base housing two opposing 5.25-inch woofers in a “force-cancelling” configuration; this eliminates vibrations and allows for powerful, distortion-free bass even at high volumes. The upper cylinder contains the remaining five drivers (two 3-inch full-range drivers, two 2-inch full-range drivers, and one ¾-inch tweeter) arranged to project sound around the device.
Key Technical Features & Technologies:
-
Beam Forming Technology: Inspired by the flagship Beolab 90, the Balance can control the directivity of sound. Users can switch between “Focused Mode” for a precise stereo sweet spot or “Omnidirectional Mode” for 360-degree room-filling sound.
-
Active Room Compensation: The speaker utilizes an internal microphone to analyze the room’s reflections and boundaries (walls, furniture) and automatically adjusts its filters to compensate for bass buildup or echo, ensuring consistent performance in any placement.
-
Proximity Sensors: The top interface remains invisible until you approach the speaker. Built-in proximity sensors detect your presence, lighting up the aluminum touch controls only when needed, and dimming them once you walk away.
-
Connectivity: Features comprehensive multiroom integration via Chromecast Built-in, Apple AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth 5.0, plus support for Google Assistant (region dependent).
The 3 Material Editions
Since the Beosound Balance is defined by its materials, here are the descriptions for the three distinct material executions:
1. The Natural Oak Edition Defined by warmth and organic texture. This version features a base crafted from solid, FSC-certified natural Oak wood, paired with a light, seamless knitted textile on the upper cylinder. The aluminum grille and user interface are finished in a soft, golden tone to complement the natural wood grain, creating a light and airy aesthetic.
2. The Black Oak Edition Designed for contrast and depth. This version utilizes a solid Black Oak base with a rich, dark wood grain, matched with a high-performance black knitted fabric. The aluminum accents are anodized in a dark finish, giving the speaker a monolithic, powerful silhouette that fits seamlessly into darker interiors or modern minimalist spaces.
3. The Natural Marble Edition The epitome of solidity and luxury. This exclusive edition replaces the wooden base with a block of solid Carrara Marble. The natural weight of the stone adds both visual gravity and acoustic stability. It is paired with a specifically selected textile and cool-toned aluminum interface, creating a striking contrast between the cold, polished stone and the warm fabric.
