Bold design that only becomes apparent when you listen to it.
Beolab 50 is a high-end active loudspeaker created for listeners who want absolute control over their sound, without sacrificing warmth, impact, or visual elegance. It brings studio-level precision into the home, blending advanced acoustic technology with calm, timeless Scandinavian design and meticulous craftsmanship.
At first glance, Beolab 50 appears composed and understated. Its true character reveals itself only when music begins.

Features
Fully Active High-Power Loudspeaker
Beolab 50 is a fully active loudspeaker, meaning every driver is individually powered and precisely controlled. Each speaker delivers a total output of 2,100 watts, allowing it to reproduce sound with authority, clarity, and composure even at high listening levels. This approach ensures extremely clean and controlled sound, free from distortion, regardless of volume.
Seven-Driver Acoustic System
Inside Beolab 50 is a carefully engineered seven-driver configuration. High frequencies are handled by a precision tweeter based on Bang & Olufsen’s acoustic lens technology, ensuring wide and consistent sound dispersion. Three front-facing 4-inch midrange drivers reproduce vocals and instruments with exceptional detail, while three 10-inch woofers mounted on the sides deliver deep, effortless bass with impact and control. Each driver is powered by its own 300-watt ICEpower amplifier, allowing the speaker to respond instantly and accurately to the audio signal.
Active Room Compensation
Active Room Compensation is one of Beolab 50’s defining technologies. Using an external measurement microphone, the speaker analyzes the acoustic characteristics of the room and automatically adjusts its output. This ensures a balanced sound regardless of room size, shape, or furnishings, eliminating the need for acoustic treatment and delivering consistent performance every time you listen.
Beam Width Control
Beam Width Control allows you to choose how focused or wide the soundstage should be. In Narrow mode, sound is precisely directed toward a defined listening position, ideal for critical listening and maximum detail. In Wide mode, the sound spreads evenly throughout the room, making it perfect for relaxed listening or entertaining guests. This flexibility allows Beolab 50 to adapt to different moments without changing its physical placement.
Motorized Acoustic Lens
The motorized acoustic lens is both a functional and emotional element of Beolab 50. When activated, it opens smoothly, visually signaling the transition into an active listening state. Acoustically, it ensures even sound dispersion across the listening area, delivering clarity and openness without harshness or listening fatigue.
Adaptive Bass Linearization and Thermal Protection
Adaptive Bass Linearization continuously extends bass performance beyond what would normally be possible from the speaker’s size, while maintaining control and precision. At the same time, integrated thermal protection monitors driver temperature and adjusts output when necessary, allowing Beolab 50 to play loudly and confidently while protecting its internal components for long-term reliability.
Connectivity and System Integration
Beolab 50 integrates seamlessly with Bang & Olufsen televisions, music systems, and streaming sources. As a fully active loudspeaker, it requires no external amplifier and remains future-ready through software updates, ensuring long-term relevance as technology evolves.
