A History of Audio Excellence

1925

The Beginning

Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen established Bang & Olufsen in Struer, Denmark, with a vision to create high-quality audio equipment. Their first product, the Eliminator, allowed radios to operate directly from the mains power rather than batteries—revolutionary at the time.

1938

B&O’s First Iconic Radio

The Beolit 39 was B&O’s first radio encased in Bakelite, a groundbreaking design choice that combined durability with modern aesthetics. This set the foundation for B&O’s signature fusion of form and function.

1967

When Hi-Fi Was Born

Intense competition from Japanese manufacturers demanded a strong signal that Bang & Olufsen was not merely the design and looks – but very much about technology and innovation. In the early days of Hi-Fi, Bang & Olufsen engineers set out to develop the world’s most perfect Hi-Fi system – the Beolab 5000 series

1972

The First Tangential Turntable

The Beogram 4000 introduced tangential tracking, ensuring that the stylus remained perpendicular to the record groove. This innovation minimized distortion and became an industry benchmark for turntable design.

1984

A Legacy of Compact Excellence

B&O introduced the Beovox CX100 and CX50, compact speakers that became cult classics. Their minimalist design and superior sound quality kept them relevant for decades, showcasing B&O’s commitment to both form and function.

2003

Revolutionizing Speaker Technology

The BeoLab 5 introduced Acoustic Lens Technology, delivering 180-degree sound dispersion for a more immersive audio experience. This speaker redefined what was possible in home audio performance.

2015

Bang & Olufsen Expands with B&O Play

Recognizing a growing demand for portable and lifestyle audio, B&O launched B&O Play, offering premium wireless speakers, headphones, and earbuds designed for modern, on-the-go users. This move helped the brand reach a broader audience while maintaining its high-end reputation.
