Bang & Olufsen

Founded by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen in 1925, Bang & Olufsen's notoriety extends from its superior line of quality audio, video and multimedia products. The Danish company has come a long way from its first major product, a radio that functioned with alternating current as opposed to batteries. Bang & Olufsen now manufactures some of the highest end sound and visual equipment available. The company is renowned for its superior sound quality and product design. Bang & Olufsen products are available at over 1,200 dealers in over 100 countries, 65% percent of which sell Bang & Olufsen products exclusively. Bang & Olufsen's consistency in developing and manufacturing an exceptional caliber of audio and visual equipment has created a fan base of Beo enthusiasts. The term comes from the Beo prefix used in Bang & Olufsen's product lines. Beosound refers to the current range of Bang & Olufsen audio products, including home music systems, MP3 players, and portable devices. Beovision, Bang & Olufsen's line of Televions, and their acclaimed series of loudspeakers, Beolab, are also a major part of the company's superior audio and visual product line. Additionally, Bang & Olufsen produces a sound system for Audi's A4, A5, Q7, A8, and R8 models.
