AES United Kingdom Section Event – Development of Bang & Olufsen’s Beolab 90
Although loudspeaker directivity has been a vital aspect of the design of Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers since the 1960s, the Beolab 90 was its first model that uses digital signal processing to actively control its radiation pattern. In this webinar, Geoff Martin, Ph.D, Senior Technology Specialist in Sound Design at Bang & Olufsen, Struer Denmark, will touch on earlier B&O loudspeaker models, discussing the reasons why directivity is considered to be such an important factor. He will show a number of early prototypes of the Beolab 90, discussing their advantages and disadvantages, and the lessons learned through its 8-year development process. Finally, he’ll show the end result, including the internal components.
The presentation will be given from B&O’s main listening room, a large BS-1116 room, situated in Struer, Denmark. As a result, there will also be a short description of the room, its construction, and how it’s used in the development process.
