Looking for speakers with a special architectural flair—that will look right at home planted flush with the surface of the ceiling or the wall? Bang & Olufsen offers a new line of architectural speakers designed in partnership with Origin Acoustics.The new speaker range includes two different product categories: a series of in-ceiling speakers dubbed “Celestial,” as well a new in-wall speaker concept dubbed “Palatial.” Both promise to offer an extensive range of grilles and covers to complement any interior design.
“Strategically the Bang & Olufsen partnership came together really well,” says Jeremy Burkhardt, CEO, Origin Acoustics. “I’ve always looked at [Bang & Olufsen] products as A/V jewelry, so now we have ceiling jewelry and wall jewelry. This will be the largest punch in the arm, I think, that the [architectural speaker] category has had in the last 20 years, having a retailer like Bang & Olufsen aggressively getting behind it.”
The new Celestial in-wall speaker range utilizes a mix of both Origin Acoustics and Bang & Olufsen technology. This includes Origin’s Weather-X technology that allows the speakers to be installed both inside and outside, as well as Zip Clip 2.0, the speaker mounting mechanism that promises easy installation.
Like the Celestial line, the Palatial in-wall high performance theater collection has also been designed using technology from both companies. It includes two 6.5-inch woofers, two midrange drivers and a 1-inch tweeted engineered to cover the entire frequency range in one unit.
You have an option when it comes to grilles: opt for either the Weather-X grille or an advanced grille that adds style elements that the two companies claim can’t be found in any other in-wall speaker.
