Description
Bang & Olufsen speakers. Beovox 4702. HI-FI Stereo. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalised.
The Bang & Olufsen a/s company was established in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen in Struer (Denmark). As early as in the 30s and 40s the company could boast several, significant successes, such as a sound recording system for the film industry, roof-mounted loudspeakers for circuses and military vehicles, or the iconic Beolit 39 radio receiver. Unfortunately, during World War II the company suffered enormous losses, when the factory in Struer was burnt by Nazi supporters as a revenge for refusal to cooperate with the Germans. Eventually, the company managed to rebuild its production and after 1955 Bang & Olufsen offered a wide range of radio receivers and continued to expand its product offer. The main focus was put on the highest quality and design. The company cooperated with many appreciated designers (especially when creating new radio receivers and loudspeakers), which in the year 1978 resulted in an exhibition of Bang & Olufsen projects in the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Currently, the company produces audio equipment, loudspeakers, headphones and TV sets of the highest quality, it has more than 700 points of sale all over the world.
Beovox 4702 are loudspeakers designed in the early 70s by Jacob Jensen, which, despite their medium size, surprise with their natural timbre and very wide, detailed musical space. Since the loudspeakers are characterized by great dynamics and accurately reflect the original, multidimensional arrangement of the recording together with a wealth of all details and nuances, the listener can feel like being in a studio or in a concert.
The enclosures have been completely revitalized. Old varnish coatings have been removed from the wood. Original veneer, Rio rosewood. High quality finishing screws. Grill cloths made of high quality acoustic fabric. The wood finish is Chinese oil produced from natural oils. The wood feels extremely pleasant to the touch.
