Description

Description: Freakuence!
Beolé! This is a big speaker, mind you—don’t be fooled, folks. The BeoLab 1 makes your fingers tingle like an orchestra just before the first note: the mids and highs are crystal-clear and razor-sharp, as if you can even hear the breath between the notes.

General description
The B&O BeoLab 1 is a compact active speaker from Bang & Olufsen, designed for precision sound and subtle reproduction. The B&O BeoLab 1 delivers a clear stereo image with rich sound and an excellent balance between low and high frequencies. You’ll hear the dynamics in acoustic instruments, the nuance in vocals, and the fine details in complex compositions—without the sound ever becoming harsh or tiring.
With this speaker, every element in the soundstage plays a role. The sound is engineered so that both lower frequencies and high-frequency detail are carefully brought to the forefront, ensuring a pleasant listening experience whether you’re enjoying quiet moments or upbeat, energetic tracks. The B&O BeoLab 1 serves both as a monitor for critical listening and as a stylish speaker for relaxed listening sessions. Its ability to deliver a sound that fills the room yet remains precise makes the speaker suitable for a wide range of listening environments—from hi-fi setups to casual background music.
Curious to hear how the B&O BeoLab 1 sounds in your listening room? Schedule a listening session with us to experience the speaker in person and compare it with other models. Or would you like to discuss trading in your current speaker for the B&O BeoLab 1? Contact us for more information and hear the difference for yourself.

Background Information
The B&O BeoLab 1 was designed with a focus on acoustic precision and aesthetic elegance. The enclosure is made of high-quality aluminum, which minimizes resonance and ensures a sleek design.

Bang & Olufsen emphasizes local production and carefully selects materials to ensure sustainability and quality.

Brand History
Bang & Olufsen (B&O) is a Danish publicly traded company founded in 1925. The company takes its name from its founders, Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. Bang & Olufsen is known for its modern and industrial designs and is responsible for several iconic design gems. Fun fact: for a long time, many internal components—such as chassis, electronic parts, cassette recorder mechanisms, gears, and the like—were sourced from Philips. Also typical of B&O… its products are sold at fixed prices in authorized B&O stores. B&O: love it or hate it.

Questions & Answers

What features set the BeoLab 1 apart from other active speakers?

BeoLab 1 combines an ICEpower Class-D bass amplifier with Class-AB midrange/high-frequency amplifiers, plus Adaptive Bass Linearization (ABL) to automatically adjust the bass response to listening volume and speaker position.

How exactly does the ABL function work on the BeoLab 1?

ABL is automatic; at sound levels below the limits, it utilizes additional capacity to deliver richer bass reproduction without distortion.

What controls does the BeoLab 1 have for input selection and stereo positioning?

On the bottom of the base plate are switches to select between L, R, or LINE, and a speaker-position switch with settings for “freestanding,” “against wall,” and “in corner.”

How do you connect multiple BeoLab 1 speakers in a stereo setup?

With PowerLink connection: connect PL1 from the source to PowerLink 1 on the first speaker, then connect PowerLink 2 on the first speaker to PowerLink 1 on the second speaker. Set the L/R/LINE settings correctly.

Is BeoLab 1 compatible with non-B&O equipment?

Yes, there is a LINE input (RCA), where the volume is controlled on the connected non-B&O device, plus a PowerLink connection with suitable adapters if necessary.

What audio signal connection options does the BeoLab 1 offer?

BeoLab 1 offers PowerLink (8-pin DIN) plus a line input (RCA / cinch).

How do you set up the BeoLab 1 for optimal sound reproduction?

The user must choose between “freestanding,” “against wall,” and “in corner” so that the internal speakers can optimally compensate for room reflections and acoustics.

What is the maximum output power of the BeoLab 1?

The bass amplifier delivers 450W at 4Ω, while the midrange and treble amplifiers each deliver 125W at 8Ω.

Can the BeoLab 1 operate wirelessly?

No, the BeoLab 1 is a wired active speaker; it does not have a built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module.

How is the BeoLab 1 powered, and what is its power consumption?

BeoLab 1 uses 230V or 120V depending on the model type, typically consumes 14W, up to 40W, and less than 0.5W in standby mode.

Reviews & awards | B&O BeoLab 1

Beocentral – BeoLab 1

: A technical description highlights that this model, produced between 2000 and 2006, was the first fully active speaker in the B&O lineup. The speaker utilized the then-innovative ICEpower amplifiers, featuring a sleek aluminum enclosure and a Lycra grille, which could be color-matched to other B&O equipment.

BeoWorld (“New and Improved Sound on BeoLab 1”)

: The reviewer initially experienced a “razor-sharp,” “ice-cold,” and “screamy” sound in the midrange and high frequencies, which improved after adjusting the three potentiometers behind the active crossover. By adding internal damping and filling the interior with absorptive material, the sound became considerably smoother.
No professional reviews of the BeoLab 1 from Hi-Fi World or Hi-Fi News could be found among the recently available sources.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
