This new Bang & Olufsen speaker can hide quite well with your book collection. The new Beosound Emerge is designed to look like it'll belong in your library. But it's thinner in front or the spine-like part, and then it widens as you go deeper.
As Mashable points out, this design should offer a better audio experience—with higher sound frequencies coming out through the front via a 14-millimetre tweeter and the lower frequencies are pushed by a 100-millimetre, side-firing woofer that's guided to the back.
According to Bang & Olufsen, this combination creates a sound dispersion that's "wide enough to fill the room with sound."

You can pair a couple of these speakers to get stereo sound or connect it to other Bang & Olufsen Connected speakers. It supports AirPlay 2 and Chromecast as well as Google Assistant. You can control it via soft-touch buttons on top, with volume adjustment done in a circular motion.
As with other Bang & Olufsen speakers, it's made with premium materials, like oak, woven textile, and pearl-blasted aluminum.
The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Emerge retails for EUR 599 (CAD 890) if you get it in Black Anthracite or EUR 749 (CAD 1,124) in Gold Tone. It'll arrive in Bang & Olufsen stores in "selected European markets" first starting today, with global availability starting in autumn 2021.
