Powerful Bluetooth speaker with 360° sound dispersion
The Bluetooth speaker uses a two-way, four-driver setup – one 5.25″ woofer, two 2″ full-range drivers and one 0.8″ tweeter. Each driver has its own 70W Class D amplifier. This delivers a maximum acoustic pressure of 101dB SPL at a distance of 1m and a frequency range of 32–23000Hz. The speaker disperses sound over 360°, letting you enjoy your music from anywhere in the room.
Premium materials and durable construction
The elegant design comprises an aluminium body, a delicate woven paper fibre front and a solid oak carry handle. An IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water, making the speaker suitable for outdoor use. Note that the wooden and textile parts are susceptible to damage from prolonged exposure to moisture. The modular design lets you replace selected components, extending the lifespan of the device. Regular software updates also bring new features long after purchase.
Automatic sound optimisation based on space
The wireless speaker offers features that adjust playback according to acoustic conditions, helping you achieve balanced sound without constant manual tweaking:
- RoomSense – analyses the acoustic conditions around the speaker
- Active Room Compensation – adjusts playback to the room acoustics
- Adaptive Bass Linearization – optimises bass reproduction
Flexible placement and easy maintenance of the Beosound A5 speaker
Thanks to its portable design, you can easily move the Beosound A5 to suit your needs. It fits perfectly in the living room, on the patio or in the garden, provided you protect the wooden and textile parts. Launch your favourite content quickly using the shortcut buttons. The modular design also allows you to replace individual damaged parts yourself, without needing to replace the entire speaker.
Stereo pairing and multiroom playback
Pair two Beosound A5 speakers using the Bang & Olufsen or Google Home app to create a stereo setup with a wider soundstage. You can also integrate the speaker into a Beolink Multiroom system and connect it with other compatible Bang & Olufsen devices – such as the Beosound Balance, fifth-generation Beosound A9 or the Beosound Stage soundbar. This lets you play music in multiple rooms simultaneously.
Long battery life and Qi wireless charging support
The Beosound A5 speaker lasts for more than 12 hours on a single charge at moderate volume, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor listening. The oak handle ensures easy carrying, and the top surface provides Qi-standard wireless charging for compatible smartphones. Charge the speaker itself via USB-C. Battery life may vary depending on volume, connection type and active features.
Number of channels
The number of channels in speaker systems and home cinemas indicates the number of independent audio signals (speakers) and subwoofers, most commonly in the X.Y format (e.g. 2.0, 5.1). It specifies how many audio tracks play simultaneously, determining the surround sound experience and bass depth of the system, from basic stereo sound (2.0) to surround sound (5.1 and above).
System type
An active speaker has a built-in amplifier, meaning you only need to connect it to an audio source, either wired or wirelessly, to start listening. Passive speakers are designed for high-quality, loud and dynamic listening in the comfort of your home and are not suited for frequent transport. The main advantage of passive speakers is the ability to connect various sources through a separate amplifier.Specifications
