Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 5

Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound 5 digital music system not only gives your digital music a strong physical presence through its unique user interface; it also integrates intelligent playlist technology for optimal user convenience and a radically improved listening experience.

MOTS – More Of The Same

But the best part is probably the truly unique MOTS (More Of The Same) intelligent playlist technology. MOTS automatically captures the unique musical identity of a track, and then uses this to compile a playlist of similar music. Letting MOTS do all the work, you can consequently discover the hidden gems of your record collection simply by putting on one of your favourite tracks. And, of course, your family and friends can do the same whenever you’ll let them.

The advanced mathematics behind the MOTS software algorithm have been devised in collaboration between Bang & Olufsen and OFAI, the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

Leading researcher at Bang & Olufsen John Hammer explains: “MOTS considers a stunning number of musical attributes to capture the unique musical identity of the track you have chosen. On the basis of this comprehensive analysis, MOTS automatically compiles a playlist, playing you more of the music you like or ‘More of The Same’ while at the same time introducing some variation to make your musical journey as exciting as possible.”

Pure audio intuition

Whenever you choose a song, it’s like planting a seed which MOTS grows into a playlist of similar music. Unlike other services which simply use tag information such as genre and artist to create playlists, MOTS actually analyzes the music using parameters such as sound, timbre, rhythm and other acoustic attributes to select similar tracks and create a smooth journey through your collection. In addition, you can store 99 seeds in your favourites, which equates to 99 instant playlists based on your preferences.

The award-winning MOTS concept - with two patents pending - is only available from Bang & Olufsen, and has so far only been integrated into the BeoSound digital music system. In an era of digital everything, BeoSound 5 is therefore your exclusive ticket to the most intuitive listening experience on the planet.

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 9

The BeoLab 9 loudspeaker was originally designed as a sophisticated tool for professional sound engineers when recording music. Its shape is designed around the sound to ensure an absolute minimum of distortion and a maximum of depth and detail, enabling this compact speaker to match the superb sound of professional studio monitors.

For the concept of BeoLab 9, the two-way stand-alone speaker and the bass module were integrated into one speaker cabinet. But the compact conic form of the original stand-alone studio monitor was preserved as was the high-quality acoustic performance of the monitor and bass module combo.

"A vocal sound so pure that it causes your eyes to glaze over. Detail and depth that makes the small hairs on your neck stand up and a tingle run down your spine. A formidable bass that overwhelms you and leaves your heart pounding. These dreams can come true with BeoLab 9".

Flanking a BeoVision TV, the acoustic lenses match the BeoLab 7-4 centre speaker in terms of performance as well as aesthetics. For a truly physical movie experience, a home theater setup with six BeoLab 9, using BeoLab 9 as both front, side and rear speakers, would bring 3000 watts of bass power within arm's reach of your seating position.
