BeoSound 5
No matter what the occasion, BeoSound 5 will find the
perfect playlist to last long after your guests have gone
home. Designed for loudspeakers and offering easy access to
every digital music file on your BeoMaster 5, it’s an entertainment
must with superior sound at its core.
It’s a popular belief that the quality of digital music leaves
a lot to be desired. But not in this case. BeoMaster 5 uses
digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and custom
circuitry to give optimized sound, with no need for off-the-
shelf sound cards. In addition, BeoSound 5 can handle
lossless compressed files that are an exact reproduction of
the original recording.
It’s perfect for home entertaining, because you don’t have
to interrupt your conversation to restart or change the music.
Just choose an album, artist or track and, when the music
comes to an end, BeoSound 5 will continue to play ‘More Of BeoSound 5 shown
The Same’ (MOTS) – that is, it will find other music on your with BeoLab 5
loudspeakers
system that complements what you’ve already been listening
to. Or play from your own favorites list. When your playlist
stops, MOTS will kick in, giving you a seamless sound
experience. You can read a little more about MOTS over the
next page.
As well as allowing you access to up to 500 GB of digital
musical content, BeoSound 5 offers around 8,000 internet
radio stations, covering every conceivable taste. Choose your
favorite music, or try something completely different. Listen
to international news, dial into your local radio station or
indeed, radio stations from all around the world. BeoSound 5
makes it all available at the touch of a fingertip.
Simply rifling through your music collection is a pleasure,
too. An aluminum wheel enables you to scroll smoothly
through tracks, and a 10.4" LCD displays crisp graphics and
album covers. And, as you can operate BeoSound 5 using
your Beo5 remote control, your entire digital music collection
– plus just about every internet radio station you could ever
want – is right there in the palm of your hand.
All that’s left to decide is where to place BeoSound 5 in
your home. Mount it flat on a wall; combine a wall bracket
with stand so you can tilt and angle it; or simply place it on
a floor or table stand – on a pedestal, where it belongs.

MOTS
BeoSound 5 appeals to instincts and desires. It brings
you closer to original recording quality, the graphical
user interface is intuitive and wonderfully tactile and, with
Bang & Olufsen’s award-winning MOTS (More Of The Same)
technology, your music collection is injected with new life.
It works like this: whenever you start playing your favorite
music on BeoSound 5, MOTS scans your library and finds
similar tracks, taking a variety of parameters such as sound,
dynamics and rhythmic aspects into consideration. As the
algorithm uses the actual music, not just the genre or mood
tags, to match tracks, MOTS will guide you to hidden gems
in your record collection based on your initial choice. Not
only will you rediscover tracks that you had long forgotten,
the journey will hold subtle surprises and unexpected
choices. It’s been called the intelligent playlist of the future,
and, through BeoSound 5, it’s right here, right now.

BeoSound 9000
Pioneering design and top-class functionality combine
to make BeoSound 9000 a widely celebrated audio tour
de force. But this sophisticated equipment is far from an
example of style over substance.
No practical detail has been missed: the CD clamper whizzes
back and forth between CDs in no more time than it takes to
switch tracks; photoelectric sensors protect fingers from the
fast-moving clamper; and, whether you hang the system
vertically or horizontally on the wall or stand it on the floor,
the display can be turned to suit the position you’ve chosen.
But it’s the performance that sets it apart. The six-CD
holder gives you up to 12 hours of uninterrupted listening
pleasure (program it to skip tracks you don’t want to hear),
plus it can remember and display up to 200 titles. There’s
also an intelligent FM radio that can store up to 60 stations.
And if you want to listen to digital music files or internet
radio, link BeoSound 9000 to your computer using BeoPort,
BeoMedia 1 or BeoMaster 5. Or simply plug in your own iPod
or MP3 player.

output differently. Meanwhile, Acoustic Lens Technology
disperses the high-range frequencies in a 180º horizontal
circle creating uniform sound characteristics in the area in
front of the loudspeaker. This enables the listener to move
around or sit in different places, while experiencing constant
tonal balance. And at a loudspeaker height of just under 31
inches, the acoustic lens is positioned so as to be level with
you when you’re seated – the last touch in ensuring a superb
