Riva and Bang & Olufsen announce exclusive Riva edition speakers, creating a new dimension of sound on board.
Sarnico, October 24, 2024 – The partnership between Riva and Bang & Olufsen celebrates craftsmanship, design and innovation, offering a new sensory experience with two innovative products for on-board sound systems: the Beosound A5 and Beosound 2 Riva Edition speakers.
The world’s most famous shipyard brand and the world’s leading luxury audio brand breathe new life into a new range of products recreated with a nautical twist to provide the soundtrack for every voyage on the open sea.
At the intersection between Danish craftsmanship and Italian know-how, the Beosound A5 and Beosound 2 Riva Edition speakers deliver perfection in every wave.
The combination of fine materials, including mahogany, maple and aluminium, encapsulates the essence of the two brands.
Beosound A5 is a portable work of art in navy blue aluminium wrapped in a refined mahogany and maple veneer. The locking pins on the hinges of the aluminium handle pop in aquamarine blue that have been laser etched with the Bang & Olufsen logo, creating nautical sophistication for every deck. The speaker is finished in Bang & Olufsen’s revered factory in Struer, Denmark, while the wooden speaker cover is handmade by Riva’s master craftsmen in Sarnico.
Beosound A5 features 360-degree sound dispersion and excellent sound quality, the speaker is also Cradle to Cradle Certified®, showcasing commitment to longevity. Bang & Olufsen’s RoomSense feature adapts playback based on any space for crystal-clear immersive sound every time.
With up to 12 hours of battery life and wireless charging built in, plus IP65 water resistance, Beosound A5 is the perfect companion to enjoy uninterrupted music on board, by the pool, or to complement any interior. This speaker is also designed to last thanks to easy replaceability of individual parts of the speaker and new software updates over time.
Beosound 2 is a triumph of craftsmanship and sound in which every detail tells a story of perfection: the solid aluminium speaker has been double anodised in navy blue before precision-milling the lines of its iconic grille; the floating control wheel features the addition of Riva’s signature blue aquamarine line.
Beosound 2 delivers a truly powerful sound performance thanks to Bang & Olufsen’s Acoustic Lens Technology in the conical speaker body which creates a 360-degree sound experience. Listeners can swipe through songs with a single touch and the wheel interface allows for steering the sound in any direction.
Elegant and powerful, the products created between Bang & Olufsen and Riva are unique works of art to listen to and experience, with every detail reflecting the perfection that only two iconic brands can achieve. From high-performance yachts to high-fidelity speakers, every element has been designed with purpose, power, and polish.
Beosound A5 and Beosound 2 Riva Edition will be available on the Riva Boutique and Bang & Olufsen websites from October 24 at the cost of €2,400 and €5,000 respectively.
