FacebookThreadsFounded in November of 1925 Bang & Olufsen is now 91 years old and one of the most respected names in the world of home electronics This Danish company has boutiques selling its prestigious hardware all across the globe serving mostly a clientele that doesn’t blink at four- and five-figure prices for speakers and wall-sized TVs But its beginnings were nowhere near as glamorous or luxurious as I found out on a recent visit to the Bang & Olufsen museum in Struer The B&O we know today got its start as a collaboration between two young men only instead of the now clichéd garage they used a farmhouse attic as their initial base of operations And before all the glorious TVs and exotic speakers it all started with the design and production of radios The very earliest Bang & Olufsen product was actually a component rather than a full-fledged radio made batteries unnecessary and allowed you to plug your radio directly into the mains A couple of years after the Eliminator’s introduction Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen moved their work out of the Olufsen family farm and into a factory in the nearby town of Struer in northwest Denmark This is where the main B&O manufacturing facilities remain to this day these first B&O radios were like the original skeuomorphic iPhone OS of their time They adapted the styling of familiar pieces of home furniture to their technological purposes The thing my 21st century mind can’t get over is the level of detailing and ornamentation to all the knobs and surfaces Using one of these classic radios will have been a tactile as well as an auditory experience Imagine the contrasting sensations of the subtle wood grain followed by the coarse texture surrounding the knobs who wouldn’t want to adjust their music equipment using what looks like a combination lock for a safe the iconic B&O logo was created by a local Danish painter the more business-minded of the two founders That would have been worth more at the time than the current $1.50 but with hindsight we can all agree that it was a terrific bargain Bang & Olufsen quickly branched out from radios and the company’s museum is scattered with every variety of music playback device with the logo here being exhibited on one of its gramophones radios did dominate the first half of B&O history with this austere 1934 model — the Hyperbo — featuring a more geometric Bauhaus styling as well as an integrated loudspeaker and gramophone It did not prove as successful as its more flamboyantly designed predecessors I love the colors and detailing on these primordial user interfaces from Bang & Olufsen The dense forest of city names sprawls out in a fan pattern making unlikely frequency neighbors out of such disparate locations as Tokyo and Daventry The materials used are still primarily hard-wearing heavy-duty stuff: solid wood and leather with the addition of some plastic for the knobs Most radios were focused on integrating parts directly relevant to audio playback but some of the larger units showed B&O going all-in on the home furniture aspect and building in an entire analog clock The Beolit radio from 1939 was the first time that Bang & Olufsen used the “Beo” prefix which has since become a theme among its various product lines from the ultra expensive BeoVision TVs to the more affordable BeoPlay headphones sold under the consumer brand of B&O Play today Among the earliest Bang & Olufsen TVs was one example that could convert into something approaching a wheelbarrow You could pull out arms from its side and then wheel the thing in and out of the living room it also had a wooden cover that descended down to hide the unappealing blank screen Future evolutions saw B&O integrating radios and TVs into single-unit chunks of audiovisual furniture (still replete with covers hiding the TV) we see Bang & Olufsen doing hardware in more familiar and portable shapes while still experimenting with new categories such as clothes irons I don’t mind admitting that I’d love to have one of these even today Every call I receive would be imbued with an extra sense of urgency and importance because of the phone’s color rewinding a tape was a literal rather than figurative action which were of course some of the fanciest and most ostentatious CD players in the world There was once a time when having a six-CD changer hanging on your wall was the ultimate status symbol though I could tell they were the least thrilling thing for the company’s own employees to discuss and the modern speakers are only really interesting in their cutaway form with all their internal complexities laid bare Maybe they’ll gain character and curiosity over time or maybe this lack of excitement is an indictment of the impersonal overly functional designs of the present era Between that red phone, this TV, and that nostalgia-inducing black rectangle of a radio, I find myself questioning why Bang & Olufsen doesn’t repurpose more of its old designs for newer functions. I know I’m not alone in my longing for the tactility of those initial radios from the 1930s. Granted, they’re heavier and far less portable than we have now, but they also have a charm that modern tech often lacks.

Surely, their hearts beat faster just by viewing the amazing audio and visual devices by Danish company par excellence Bang & Olufsen a luxury consumer electronics company renowned for its commitment to superior performance and cutting-edge design B&O’s story began in 1925 when young Danish engineers Svend Olufsen and Peter Bang officially founded the company and a makeshift laboratory in the attic of Olufsen’s old family farmhouse manor Bang was primarily interested in a new piece of technology – the radio He spent half a year working in a radio factory in the US where this broadcast medium was rapidly advancing heavy batteries that needed to be recharged Bang developed the first Danish radio supplied with power directly from the mains with the “Eliminator” a novel component within the Mains Receiver that could be connected to all battery-powered radios Only 10 of these mains-powered radios were ever produced the fledgling company’s first viable commercial success but he mainly focused on the business side while Bang served as the technology wiz and it comes as no surprise that B&O products are taken as the quintessence of outstanding performance which tells the history of Bang & Olufsen from its modest start in the 1920s to becoming a world-class brand in the 21st century Displays of well-preserved specimens that can be viewed included the iconic Bauhaus-inspired B&O radios and other memorabilia of the post-war era to the more modern CD players It is said that Apple’s Steve Jobs admired all things B&O that the aluminium construction and the scroll-wheel control design on a B&O 1990s stereo gave Apple the inspiration for its iPod Early B&O devices are considered highly collectible for their timeless beauty and performance a radio enclosed in a striking art deco cabinet made of polished walnut and maple with intricate marquetry is one such specimen Most radios then were produced to be merely functional B&O’s attention not only on the engineering but bold design aesthetics paved the way for a growing audience who appreciated the stylish innovation and was more than willing to pay for quality A huge living room or bedroom wall can be mounted with up to 44 speakers and 11 amplifiers in one system The BeoSound Core is all you need for the system’s wireless streaming and connectivity features The BeoSound Shape amazes with its impressive sound quality thanks to the audio algorithms B&O audio engineers have whipped up Standard hi-fi speakers have a left channel and a right channel There is a focal point between the two speakers where the listener can hear the perfectly blended stereo audio mix called the “sweet spot” If you move left or right of the “sweet spot” your brain distinguishes which speaker is closest With the BeoSound Shape “band on the wall” effect you’ll get the same sound reaching your ears wherever you are in the room During a recent media tour at the B&O headquarters Noto GmbH Managing Partner and Designer André Poulheim explained the concepts of design his company utilised to create both the BeoLab 90 and the BeoLab 50 the latest addition to the B&O loudspeaker family If its Big Brother Beolab 90 was all about being different with its sophisticated design and advanced technology intended to fit into some homes as an exclusive speaker then the BeoLab 50 is its tempered version that still packs a lot of punch in the audio and design sectors but costing only a third of the BeoLab 90’s price The BeoLab 50 is a stunning slim looker that is meant to be the centrepiece in any room Its large curved bottom appears to raise the speaker from the floor with polished aluminium panels over the speaker and fabric front and oak slats covering the drivers It features B&O’s Active Room Compensation technology that uses an external microphone to measure its acoustic surroundings and adjusts the equalisation and sound filters to deliver phenomenal sound The magic begins as the tweeter or “lens” slowly rises to the top of the crown when turned on and can be set to two sound dispersion settings: narrow for concentrated listening and wide to let others in the room join in the fun these powerful active loudspeakers have seven 300 watt builtin amplifiers delivering 2100 watts into seven drivers The BeoLab 50 includes wireless functions and can also synchronise with B&O’s smartphone app making it a wonderful investment for people who appreciate awesome sound in an elegant package Bang & Olufsen stays true to its commitment to produce high-tech performance and beautiful designs in its state-of-the-art products The company’s hard-core fans cannot wait to snap up more of the avant-garde B&O innovations in the near future Bang & Olufsen stores are located in Pacific Place Mall Jakarta and on Sunset Road in Bali.
