Success for Bang & Olufsen Sound System in the Audi A8

The most sophisticated sound system in the Audi range has proven to be an
unqualified success.

In less than a year, more than 3,000 A8 customers have chosen the Bang & Olufsen
Advanced Sound System. At the moment, every fifth Audi A8 or S8 model is
equipped with this system, which has an output of over 1,000 watts.
With its total of fourteen active high-end speakers, Bang & Olufsen's unique
Acoustic Lens Technology and digital amplifier output, the Advanced Sound System
ensures a perfect sound experience. Specially developed for the Audi A8, the
speaker grilles are made from meticulously crafted anodised aluminium - the same
material used to produce the body of this sporty, luxury saloon.
The sound system is also music to the listeners' eyes as the Bang & Olufsen design
is seamlessly integrated into the sporty, luxurious ambience of the A8.

When the system is activated, two lens tweeters are automatically extended from
the dashboard. These ensure an in-depth performance at every seat thanks to their
precisely aligned horizontal transmission. Here fascinating visible technology is
combined with the acoustic brilliance of the award-winning Bang & Olufsen
Advanced Sound System, which has been voted "best sound system" by the trade
media.
Another sound system from the Danish high-end manufacturer has already been
developed for the sporty top model Audi R8, and Bang & Olufsen is currently
developing sound systems for other model lines.
