REVIEW

B&O PLAY by BANG & OLUFSEN A2 MADE TO MOVE TECH SPECS DIMENSIONS 4,4 x 14,2 x 25,6 cm WEIGHT 1.1 kg

COLOURS Black, grey and green

CONNECTIVITY Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless streaming 1 x line-in for MP3 player or mobile device 1 x USB connection for charging your device 1 x DC power input

POWER AMPLIFIER 180 W peak power provided by 2x30 W digital class D amplifiers 2x3” full-range drivers · 2 x 3/4” tweeters 2x3” passive bass radiators Cabinet principle: Balanced passive bass radiators

BATTERY Rechargeable Li-ion battery with up to 24 hours* of playback. *Battery life when playing at moderate listening level.

B&O’s entry with a portable Bluetooth speaker blistering with remarkable key features is perfectly timed for the South African load shedding schedule.

Design & Portability The design crafted by Cecille Manz includes key features such as the light-weight aluminium case enclosed by a polymer shell adding an inconspicuous artistic edge to the look and feel of the speaker, aiding in effortlessly blending with any modern living room environment or outdoor area. Small rubber feet and a short premium leather strap showcase the portability coupled by a robust build offering on the go flexibility.

The claimed battery life of 24 hours is a phenomenal feature and tests prove such a case to be true after intermittent use of the BeoPlay A2 throughout the weekend while listening at moderate levels from a variety of sources.

Connectivity & Setup Setup is simplicity exemplified with the BeoPlay A2 having only three buttons – a power, volume and a Bluetooth button.

Pairing to a device is simple - press the Bluetooth button until the LED blinks, search for the BeoPlay A2 on your phone or tablet’s menu and voila. Up to 8 devices can be remembered also allowing two simultaneous connections should you wish to orchestrate a DJ setup with friends.

Additional audio input via a 3.5mm jack allows other devices to use the audio features of the A2.

A huge bonus feature for the South African locale is the USB port which allows you to charge your smartphone or tablet, thus the BeoPlay A2 also turns into a portable battery charger.

Audio The BeoPlay A2 features two sets of tweeters, drivers and passive bass radiators showcasing the audio fidelity aligned to Bang & Olufsen’s Signature Sound.

The placement of these drivers on each side of the of the speaker, aided by a B&O solution called Power Response Enhancement delivers the True360 Sound Experience to the masses: a uniform sound experience with the field of sound spread out in a much wider area versus traditional forward facing speaker systems and the sweet audio spot encasing anybody around the BeoPlay A2.

Audio from a variety of sources emanated with clarity and warmth as deep bass and crisp vocals were delivered with confidence by the BeoPlay A2 during testing.

Verdict Displaying simplicity, intricate design, phenomenal battery life and the iconic Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound, the BeoPlay A2 delivers exceptionally in all aspects.

With specific features catering to the South African market it is hard not to recommend the BeoPlay A2.
