Hello!
Bang & Olufsen launches a new music system - BeoSound Moment and the BeoVision Avant TV in 75” at CES.
BeoSound Moment is an intelligent and intuitive wireless music system that integrates your music collection and services into one. It has a detachable and double-sided interface that allows for two different listening experiences. One side is an elegant aluminum interface with a delicate touch screen for engaging interaction, and the other side holds the world´s first touch-sensitive wood interface designed for one-touch access. The music system combines limitless access to digital music with a new simplicity and makes it easy for the whole family to collect, discover and share your favourite music.
Further to this, BeoVision Avant 75” launches as the newcomer TV to the BeoVision Avant family adding to the 55” and 85” versions, now offering a family of UHD (4K) video performance TVs with excellent acoustic authenticity built in. The unfolding 3-channel speakers and motorized floor stand displays smart choreography, and the remote control BeoRemote One offers “one touch” access control. BeoVision Avant has also received the Design and Engineering Innovation Honoree Status within the High Performance Home Audio Category at CES 2015.
BeoSound Moment, the intelligent and playful music system that matches your mood
BeoSound Moment is an intelligent and intuitive wireless music system that integrates your music collection and services into one. Experience the world’s first touch-sensitive wood interface and enjoy your new single point of entry to the world of music.
CES – January 2015
Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound Moment is all about combining the limitless access to digital music with a new simplicity and playful creativity. BeoSound Moment makes it easy for the whole family to collect, discover and share your favourite music.
Navigating on wood
The top of the new BeoSound Moment is a detachable and double-sided interface that allows for two different listening experiences.
One side is an elegant aluminium interface with a delicate touch screen for engaging interaction. This is where music lovers can browse the endless online music catalogue, their favourite playlists and share their music collection.
The wooden side is designed for one-touch access to exactly the sound experience that fits your daily rhythm. The beautiful panel of touch-sensitive oak allows you to have your favourite music flowing from your speakers with just one touch on the wooden wheel.
Intelligent PatternPlay
BeoSound Moment introduces a new, intelligent feature that adapts your listening patterns and suggests music or radio programmes that fit with the relevant day of the week and the time of day. The advanced PatternPlay feature automatically memorizes your musical preferences and makes your listening experience both familiar and explorative.
Over time, BeoSound Moment will gradually start to know your taste in music, and be able to play what you most likely want to hear, without you even having to ask. Just like friendship, it only gets better with time.
The music presented by PatternPlay stems from your own preferred favourite artists and playlists plus an extensive online catalogue of music, with access to more than 35 million songs, supplied by leading global music streaming service Deezer. One touch and the music flows according to your personal preferences. You can activate PatternPlay directly, with one touch, on the elegant oak panel.
The intuitive MoodWheel
The aluminium interface displays another new feature of BeoSound Moment, the innovative MoodWheel. Express your mood and BeoSound Moment will find the perfect sound track to match it. A single touch on the multi-coloured MoodWheel activates an automatically generated playlist defined by your finger’s position on the wheel. The closer to the centre of the wheel, the more familiar the music. In the very middle of the MoodWheel the music will be picked from your lists of favourites only, whereas the outer parameter of the circle tempts the listener with musical adventures of associated music from the vast online catalogue of songs.
The MoodWheel is divided into a colour gamut that ranges from melancholic blue over a passionate red zone to an energetic yellow area. Combined, these two dimensions on the intuitive MoodWheel offer limitless possibilities for defining your selection of music.
BeoSound Moment is compatible with the whole Bang & Olufsen range of wireless and wired quality speakers that will create an impressive sound experience in your home.
“As a modern, cloud based music system, BeoSound Moment will offer software updates with new features and improvements. We have prepared a firm software update roadmap for BeoSound Moment including the deployment of a very compelling multi-room experience that encompasses both television and other audio products planned for Summer 2015”, says Marie Kristine Schmidt Vice President, Brand, Design & Marketing Bang & Olufsen.
BeoSound Moment will be available exclusively at Bang & Olufsen stores as of January 30, 2015 in selected countries where both Bang & Olufsen and the Deezer music service are available.
Recommended street price £1,795 incl. 12 months of prepaid Deezer Premium+.
Bang & Olufsen welcomes BeoVision Avant 75” to the family
BeoVision Avant 75” is the newcomer to the BeoVision Avant family already counting the 85” and 55”. At CES 2015, BeoVision Avant received the Design and Engineering Innovation Honoree status within the High Performance Home Audio category.
In May 2014 Bang & Olufsen redefined the television’s place in the home with the launch of the innovative BeoVision Avant 55”, offering sublime Ultra High Definition (4K) video performance and excellent acoustic authenticity built in. Shortly after, the 85” version was launched to provide an extraordinary visual experience, and today the company is excited to announce that the TV now also comes in 75” - for those still wanting the bigger picture.
The range of size options for the BeoVision Avant set the stage for a truly cinematic movie experience with family and friends or an enthusiastic sports night with crystal clear action images and an engaging surround sound that unfolds to reveal an enthralling stadium sensation in your living room.
“As we anticipated, BeoVision Avant has followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, which was a game changer in the analogue era,” Marie Kristine Schmidt, Vice President Brand, Design and Marketing explains. She continues, “When we launched it last year we saw unprecedented demand and unsurpassed feedback from consumers around the globe that agreed with our vision of the future of television. With this family of Avants, we hope to offer consumers the choice they crave to make sure the TV can fit with their lifestyles and complement their homes. We not only wish to make sure the TV can blend into the background when not in use, but also add the wow factor with a show stopping piece of technology”.
Smart choreography and one-touch control
The designers at Bang & Olufsen have aimed at reducing the physical presence of BeoVision Avant when not in use. By offering both a motorised stand and a wall bracket option, you will be able to let this 85/75/55-inch television stand out or blend into your interior. Once you switch it on it shows off its full potential through a carefully choreographed unfolding. Touch one button on BeoRemote One, and it finds your favourite position, your favourite channel and your favourite sound setting. When you switch it off it folds back the speakers and returns to its discrete resting place close up against the wall. Watch the magical new stand programme in action here.
New improved BeoRemote App 2.0
The BeoRemote App 2.0 offers two-way control of your Bang & Olufsen TV, from your iPad or smartphone, with a distinctive Bang & Olufsen feel. You get easy navigation, a handy keyboard for entering text, and the same operation philosophy you know from BeoRemote One including MyButtons functionality. In addition the iPad version includes an outstanding Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) function with extended information on the TV programmes, channel info and logos. This means you can check out other programmes or look for additional information on your iPad without disturbing the viewing experience for others watching the broadcast.
The BeoRemote App 2.0 is available on the App Store and Google Play for free.
BeoVision Avant 75” is available in Bang & Olufsen stores from the end of February 2015. Recommended price £11,595 for BeoVision Avant 75” including BeoRemote One. Placement options on either wall or floor starting from £1,145.

Who writes this stuff?
Too verbose for me or am I just too old and knackered.

I think the "moment" looks fantastic - I want one - whoever wrote in another thread that the last lounge indicated wood was right - it will look fantastic next to the new speakers and an old turntable - will it have an analogue input does anyone know and master link?
