Bang & Olufsen S8 

Enjoy room-filling sound with the Beoplay S8 2nd Generation 2.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System from B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen. It provides up to 560 Watts of audio power from its two satellite speakers and 8" subwoofer, with the subwoofer hosting three class-D amplifiers.

The system's setup offers a variety of placement options, allowing it to fit in most home environments. The two satellite speakers can either be hung on the wall with the included mounts, or placed on a desktop or tabletop with the included desk stands. The subwoofer has been designed to adapt to nearly any placement with its sound adaption switch.

Versatile Placement

The Beoplay S8 2nd Generation's setup offers a variety of placement options, making it flexible enough to fit any home. Its two satellite speakers can be hung on the wall or positioned with table stands, while the subwoofer has been designed to function well no matter where you choose to put it. Simply adjust the sound adaption switch to match the position, stand back, and listen as the device adjusts to give you optimal bass nearly anyplace.

• Select "wall" position to automatically adjust for subwoofer placement near a large object.
• Select the "free" position for enhanced sound with the subwoofer placed at a distance from large objects
• Select the "corner" position for subwoofer corner placement to minimize interference from surrounding walls.

Designed for Easy Connectivity

The Connection Hub allows you to connect to almost any TV and audio sources using optical or analog cables. No extra remotes are needed, as the Connection Hub learns the volume up, volume down, and mute IR commands from your TV remote or any other remote. It handles up to three connections at a time and automatically changes to the last audio source to play, so if you're listening to music, and the TV is turned on, the sound of the TV will take over.

Bass Port

The bass port is designed for tight, well-defined bass.

Class-D Amplifiers

Despite its compact size, there are three class-D amplifiers built into the subwoofer, and they deliver 140 W for each satellite speaker and 280 for the subwoofer.

8" Bass Driver

The magnet inside the 8" bass driver is designed to deliver bass precision. Plus, its weight will keep your subwoofer firmly grounded even at full volume.
