Bang & Olufsen has unveiled an exclusive edition of its renowned Beosound A9 wireless speaker, featuring a rare photograph of David Bowie captured by the esteemed British music photographer Denis O'Regan. Limited to just 30 units globally, this special edition seamlessly blends B&O's signature audio excellence with a visually striking homage to the legendary artist.
The Beosound A9 x David Bowie Edition retains the technical prowess of the standard model, equipped with seven custom-built drivers and dedicated Class D amplification to deliver immersive sound quality. It supports a wide range of wireless streaming options, including AirPlay and Google Cast, and offers wired Ethernet playback alongside a sophisticated room calibration feature that optimizes audio performance based on the room's acoustics.
Designed by Oviyen Alexander Slaatto, the Beosound A9 showcases a timeless circular form that can be elegantly mounted on a wall or displayed on a wooden stand, making it a versatile addition to any space. The limited edition variant features O'Regan's selected Bowie image printed on a fabric protective grille, enhancing the speaker's aesthetic appeal while honoring Bowie's enduring legacy.
Each unit comes with a signed and numbered 12" x 8" print of the photograph, a custom box sleeve, and a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its status as a true collector's item. The chosen image, taken in the 1970s, captures Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust era, reflecting the charismatic energy that defined his career.
Released on April 25, 2025, the Beosound A9 x David Bowie Edition is priced at £3,995 in the UK, slightly above the standard version's £3,200.
