Project Innovation

Controlling the beosound edge is every bit as mesmerising as its immersive sound performance. You instinctively feel the urge to roll the balancing circle – and you should...This is a speaker that feels your presence. As you approach the speaker, the touch sensitive aluminium interface comes to life, lighting up thanks to proximity sensors. You can then start, stop or skip tracks with a simple tap on the surface. The Beosound Edge is calibrated to read the force of your touch, adjusting the volume as you roll the speaker back and forth, even when placed on the gravity-defying wall mount.
