Music played through the Beolit 12 can comfortably fill a middle sized room. Using Apple Airplay, it allows you to play music wirelessly from your iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC when connected to your wireless network.

The power cord packs neatly away inside the system when not in use. Beolit 12 has a built-in power supply and a rechargeable battery that can charge an iPhone or other devices when connected through a cable, and also allows for up to eight hours of music play back. The top of the unit, where the volume, power and network controls are, has a non-slip rubber insert for you to safely place your device while charging or playing.



All these technology comes in a highly portable compact that you can convenient carry around, thanks to the leather-strap that is diagonally mounted for stability. Beolit 12 is available in blue, dark grey, grey and yellow colour variants.




Likewise, BeoPlay A8 also streams your tunes with Apple AirPlay. Connectivity is seamless; when you walk into the room with your mobile device, BeoPlay A8 recognizes your device and asks if you would prefer listening to your music through its balanced set of dynamic two-way speakers.

BeoPlay A9’s powerfully original design makes it the perfect audio device that can both fit in with the rest of your high-end furniture and stand out in your décor. It is a little heavy, but that does not compromise its mobility – you can mount it on the wall or place it anywhere in the room on its three solid wood legs.
