Beosound Emerge is the latest Wi-Fi speaker by Bang & Olufsen and it has been designed to look like a book. This compact speaker will blend into a book cabinet and is said to offer “full-range, ultra-wide sound.” Beosound Emerge is offered in two colour options and comes with support for streaming services like AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect, apart from having Chromecast built-in. Beosound Emerge can also be paired with another Beosound Emerge for stereo sound.
(Pocket-lint) - If you ve been looking for a small-yet-mighty home speaker then it looks like Bang & Olufsen has the answer with this, the Beosound Emerge.
Bang & Olufsen has been busy in 2021, first announcing the Beosound Level targeting the larger-scale home speaker. The Emerge, meanwhile, is a much smaller product. Indeed, it s been inspired by the form-factor of an actual book.
At just 6.7 centimetres thick, this swanky looking slice of audio kit - which was designed by Benjamin Hubert of Design Agency Layer - could easily slot onto a bookshelf and almost blend in.

The cool thing about such placement is that it should actually work sonically, because the higher sound frequencies come through the front, via a 14-millimetre tweeter. The lower frequencies are pushed by a 100-millimetre, side-firing woofer which is guided to the back (it s harder to hear where the lower frequencies are coming from, which is why subwoofers can be placed pretty much anywhere, while main speakers have to face the liste

Bang & Olufsen is known for unique designsfor its range of audio gear. With its newest product, the company has taken inspiration from something that s already on your shelves. In collaboration with London-based design agency Layer, B&O has created the Beosound Emerge: an impressively slim smart speaker that offers all of the features and connectivity you could ask for. In true B&O fashion, the device is made with premium materials like oak, knitted fabric and aluminum. It also requires a significant investment.
Back in February, Bang & Olufsen revealed the $1,500 Beosound Level that looks a bit like a VCR.
