How Bang & Olufsen Speakers Simplify Surround Sound

Build an All-in-One Wireless Speaker System 

If you ask us, a home theater isn’t a home theater without surround sound. You need multiple speakers (not just one) to create a soundscape that immerses you in the world of cinema. 

Typically, surround sound systems are built with an audio-video receiver (AVR) wired to loudspeakers and a subwoofer. But Bang & Olufsen, the Danish hi-fi audio manufacturer, has found a different approach. 

Bang & Olufsen’s Theatre soundbar offers an all-in-one surround sound experience that lets you expand wirelessly with additional speakers. Here’s how you can use Bang & Olufsen speakers to build a surround sound system over Wi-Fi in your Palm Beach, FL, home.

Is a Soundbar All You Need? 

Well, no. You can’t achieve true surround sound with only one speaker at the front of the room. But Bang & Olufsen's Theatre soundbar offers a game-changing solution with its wireless speaker connectivity. Instead of dealing with the hassle of cables running across the room, this soundbar seamlessly connects with other B&O wireless speakers over Wi-Fi, making surround sound setup a breeze. The Theatre soundbar can act as the AV receiver that ties your whole speaker system to the TV.  

By eliminating the need for physical connections, you can position the speakers wherever you desire without restrictions. Whether it's mounting them on the walls, placing them on shelves, or simply positioning them strategically around the room, the flexibility is unparalleled.

Surround Sound Over Wi-Fi 

Setting up a surround sound system can be intimidating for many homeowners, requiring intricate wiring and technical know-how. With the Theatre soundbar, Bang & Olufsen simplifies this process, ensuring a user-friendly experience. 

The soundbar acts as the central hub, wirelessly connecting to any other speakers that support Chromecast or AirPlay 2. Through the B&O app, you’ll effortlessly configure the speakers, adjust individual audio levels, and customize the sound output to suit your preferences. The intuitive interface allows even those unfamiliar with audio systems to create a personalized home theater setup.

And How’s the Audio?

While the convenience of wireless connectivity is a significant advantage, the audio performance of the Bang & Olufsen Theatre soundbar truly sets it apart. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, it delivers exceptional sound quality, enveloping you in a rich, nuanced sound field. The soundbar's advanced acoustic technologies and powerful drivers ensure precise sound reproduction, capturing every subtle detail and creating a lifelike soundstage. Every sound is faithfully reproduced, from the rumble of explosions to the delicate whisper of a breeze, enhancing your overall viewing experience.

Not to mention, Bang & Olufsen has always been synonymous with elegant and sophisticated design, and the Theatre soundbar is no exception. Crafted with premium materials and a minimalist aesthetic, it seamlessly blends into any home décor.  

How Many Speakers Do I Need? 

Traditional surround sound setups typically consist of five speakers strategically placed around the room: a center channel speaker, two front speakers, and two rear speakers. The center channel reproduces dialogue and crucial on-screen sounds, while the front and rear speakers provide ambient audio effects and musical scores. Pair at least four wireless speakers with the Theatre soundbar to create a surround sound experience.
