Measuring 23 x 18.9 x 13.5 cm and weighing just 2.7kg, the new Beolit 17 is built to be enjoyed both indoors and out. It has a robust polymer top and bottom, and an anodized pearl-blasted aluminum grill with a handle crafted from premium grain leather to complete the premium feel.
Inside, the speaker houses two 35W Class D amplifiers for both bass and treble, and features one 5.5” long-stroke Wideband Woofer, two 4” Passive Bass Radiators, and three 1.5” Wideband Tweeters to deliver 240 watts of peak power to easily fill larger living room spaces with that classic Bang & Olufsen sound.
A new custom button adds a handy shortcut to one of four functions.
The new speaker also brings added smarts, thanks to a one-touch connect button that you can easily customize using the Beoplay App on your phone. Choose from one of four different functions to be activated when you press the button:
• Alarm: Set an alarm in the app to wake yourself up with one of two B&O PLAY alarm tunes or the last played song on your smartphone. Press once to snooze and twice to deactivate the alarm.
• Connect: Instantly plays the last song you played on Spotify.
• Remote: Plays or pauses the music by pressing the connect button once. Double pressing skips to the next track.
• ToneTouch: Plays your favorite ToneTouch preset. (ToneTouch allows you to personalize your music experience via dragging and pinching a white dot in the BeoPlay app on your phone.)
The Beolit 17 will launch in a choice of Natural and Stone Grey at Bang & Olufsen Grand Hyatt and Takashimaya from March 6th, 2017 for a RRP of S$749.
