Active Loudspeaker: The BeoLab 4000 is an active speaker, meaning it has its own built-in amplifiers. This eliminates the need for a separate amplifier and ensures optimal matching between the amp and the speaker drivers for better sound quality.
Compact and Versatile Design: Its slim and curved aluminum cabinet allows for flexible placement on shelves, tables, or wall/ceiling mounting at various angles using optional brackets and stands. The design is intended to blend into modern living spaces.
Aluminum Construction: The cabinet is made from aluminum, contributing to its sleek aesthetics and providing stiffness while aiding in heat dissipation for improved performance.
Balanced Sound: Despite its size, the BeoLab 4000 is designed to deliver a balanced sound with crisp highs and deep lows, performing well at various volume levels.
Adaptive Bass Linearisation (ABL): This Bang & Olufsen patented technology allows the speaker to produce more bass than its size would suggest by utilizing the surplus capacity in the amplifiers and drivers at normal listening levels without causing distortion or damage.
Connectivity: It can be connected to various audio sources, including Bang & Olufsen systems, TVs, CD players, smartphones, and computers, often via Power Link or RCA connections (with an adapter). Some users have also connected them wirelessly using devices like Apple AirPort Express or Sonos Connect.
Multiple Color Options: The BeoLab 4000 has been available in a range of colors, allowing for coordination with different interior decors.
Stereo or Surround Sound: They can be used in a stereo setup or as part of a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system.
