Bentley and Bang & Olufsen - An automotive audio first

  • Bang & Olufsen BeoSonic interface in new Continental GT is a pioneering #automotive industry first
  • System allows users to choose between four different #audio ‘spaces’
  • New Continental GT available with 1,500 W, 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system

(Crewe, 21 June 2018) Bentley and Bang & Olufsen have broken new ground in the #automotive world by integrating the Danish brand’s revolutionary BeoSonic interface into the new Continental GT.

BeoSonic is designed to shape the sound in the car around you, with a simple, intuitive one-touch user interface allowing Continental GT customers to create an entirely tailored, bespoke in-car #audio experience.

Bang & Olufsen BeoSonic One-Touch Experience provides four distinct #audio spaces: Bright, Energetic, Warm & Relaxed. The soundtuning of the spaces is adjusted to the driver’s preferences through an easy-to-use, haptic touchscreen interface integrated into the multimedia system.

The interface features an eclipse design, and by moving a digital white marker the user chooses between the four different spaces. This enables the user to adjust the music according to their current mood – with a colour palette behind the eclipse reflecting the chosen sound mode. Surround intensity can also be adjusted with a pinching gesture, in the BeoSonic display. Additional settings can optimize the whole system for front or rear seat passengers.

The Bang & Olufsen sound system for #bentley has been developed in close collaboration between Bentley’s and HARMAN International’s design and #audio engineering teams leading the design of Bang & Olufsen soundsystems for #bentley. The system features 16 active loudspeakers and a powerful 1,500 watt BeoCore DSP amplifier ensuring an impressive high-quality sound.
