What is the best placement for a soundbar?
With automatic optimisation of the speaker performance to the room, you now have the freedom to place your soundbar as you like. Optimisation of sound to the room was introduced by Bang & Olufsen in 2003 with the launch of Beolab 5, Bang & Olufsen's first fully digital loudspeaker.
The sound performance is optimised for the room and your preferred listening locations, so the soundbar and speaker placement becomes less critical.
In addition, the soundbar placement may vary depending on how you are using it. Most soundbars are designed for wall placement. But Bang & Olufsen soundbars have additional placement options.
Beovision Contour is a TV that integrates a soundbar (Beosound Stage), which can be placed on the wall, freestanding in the room or mounted on the wall. When you have a Beosound Stage as a stand-alone soundbar, you have two placement options; horizontally on a shelf or mounted on the wall.
Today, most Bang & Olufsen speakers have room adaptation in some form – some with a physical position switch and others with a software setting in the Bang & Olufsen app. So almost any place is a good place.\r
