High-end sound

Ground-breaking sound
Building on the ground breaking active loudspeaker work that characterises Bang & Olufsen, Beolab 50 is a radically powerful all-in-one speaker. Our audio engineers have created a floor standing stereo speaker that delivers a powerful performance every time.
Beam Width Control
With its adjustable acoustic lens, Beolab 50 can alter its sound delivery to suit the audience. When listening alone, the lens contracts to send a direct sound beam to create a sweet spot. With a house full of guests, the lens opens for a room-filling performance.
Active Room Compensation
Active Room Compensation measures the acoustical behaviour of your room and the placement of your speakers. The data is used to create a custom set of filters for your Beolab 50, tailored to your space so you can enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard exactly as the artist intended.
Minimalism requires dedication
To create a powerful yet elegant speaker like Beolab 50 takes a huge amount of effort. Achieving authentic sound in a minimalist design involves a careful process honouring more than nine decades of relentless commitment to design and acoustic innovation.

The Beolab 50 delivers room-dominating, reference-class sound anchored by deep bass and a sculpted, wide soundstage thanks to its acoustic lens and active room compensation. Built-in ICEpower amplification and extensive digital I/O give it turnkey, high-resolution flexibility, while craftsmanship and adaptive beam control make it as visually striking as it is sonically authoritative, per Best of High End.
Pros
- Authoritative, ultra-deep bass driven by triple 10" woofers with dedicated ICEpower amplification for powerful, controlled low end.
- Adjustable Acoustic Lens and Beam Width Control provide precise imaging and configurable room-filling dispersion for different listening scenarios.
- Integrated multi-channel ICEpower amps, advanced DSP and extensive digital I/O deliver a turn-key, high-resolution system with Active Room Compensation.

Cons
- Ultra-premium, flagship pricing places it beyond the reach of most buyers, limiting value for cost-conscious purchasers.
Sound Quality
93/100
Bass
94/100
Triple 10" woofers per speaker with dedicated 300 W ICEpower amps and Adaptive Bass Linearization plus a specified <15 Hz extension and 114 dB per-pair bass capability. The hardware and room-compensation features indicate authoritative, deep, and well-controlled low end appropriate to a reference-class tower; score restrained below exceptional since no independent in-room listening reviews were provided.
Mid
92/100
Three 4" mid drivers with individual 300 W amplification and an active crossover architecture promise coherent, forward, and accurate midrange reproduction. Acoustic Lens Technology and advanced amplification suggest excellent vocal presence and low distortion through the crossover region.
Treble
93/100
¾" tweeter with acoustic lens and claimed >43 kHz extension indicates very smooth, extended high frequencies with wide dispersion. The combination of dedicated amplification and beam/dispersion control points to refined detail without obvious harshness.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Beam Width Control, Acoustic Lens Technology and active room compensation are designed to create wide, stable imaging and controlled directivity. The active electronics and room-correction features indicate excellent width, depth and image focus when properly set up.
Dynamics
93/100
High per-driver ICEpower power (300 W per driver) and a 120 dB pair SPL spec suggest very strong macro- and micro-dynamic capability with ample headroom. Active amplification per driver minimizes power compression and supports slam and transient speed at high levels.

Build Quality
94/100
Heavy, well-specified cabinetry (61 kg per speaker) in aluminium/wood with designer pedigree (Noto GmbH) and integrated protection implies premium materials, internal engineering and robust resonance control. The physical heft and bespoke finishes indicate high industrial quality.
Features Connectivity
92/100
Active speaker with extensive I/O: USB-B, USB-A, S/PDIF, optical, RCA, Power Link/Ethernet, Wireless Power Link and WiSA support (24-bit formats). Built-in amplification, DSP features (room compensation, beam control) and broad digital connectivity deliver a very high feature set for flexible system integration.
Value for Money
70/100
At a listed price ~79,800 (currency unspecified) these are ultra-premium, flagship-priced speakers. Performance and feature set are top-tier, but the very high cost makes the value proposition limited to buyers seeking best-in-class, integrated active loudspeakers rather than budget-conscious purchasers.
