Bang & Olufsen has launched its new remote control, called the Beo5 that has been developed after 15 years of painstaking research and development.
Beo5 sports a square-shaped color LCD screen made of hardened glass. The touch sensitive screen is mounted on the round module that features buttons to control functions of the home theater such as volume control and channel changing.
You can customize the remote according to your style and preference as Bang & Olufsen does not preload it with any of the company’s features. Additionally, the buyer can also add or remove the features whenever they want.
“As consumer electronics become more and more complex, the launch of Beo5 is a very significant step for Bang & Olufsen as it provides advanced technology, yet intuitive one-step functionality. This product demonstrates all of Bang & Olufsen’s core competencies and will set the precedent of home integration technology in the consumer electronics realm for years to come. Our expectations for Beo5 are vast, as it will appeal to our existing customer base looking for further customization to their current systems, as well as to new customers who are seeking the ultimate home audio and video integration tool,” said Kim Gravesen, President of Bang & Olufsen America.
It also offers touch-and-go technology that enables the user to detect the button along with soft-touch. By just pushing a button, you can activate the function of the technology. It also comes equipped with twelve buttons where each has been allocated a specific function.
The ergonomic designed remote control works on rechargeable battery that delivers 10-12 days of operation time on a single charge. For amazing signal range, it comes with a strong rear casing of infrared-transparent plastic.
Bang & Olufsen Beo5 remote control is expected to hit stores by this fall with the retail price of $560 (approx. Rs. 22,400).
