We are talking here about special mountings that separate the grille from the frame, offering the illusion that the grille is floating in mid-air. This space between the grille and frame also houses small LEDs that cast light subtly into the cabin when the system is activated.
When the system is activated, a loudspeaker cover in the centre of the dashboard silently lifts to reveal the large acoustic lens while the embedded LED lights simultaneously turn on – a process the manufacturer calls Light Orchestration.
The Bang & Olufsen patented Acoustic Lens Technology distributes sound horizontally with 180º of dispersion to give the best possible acoustic experience for anywhere in front of the speaker. At a closer look, the acoustic lens cover reveals an additional mid-range loudspeaker that delivers the sound throughout the cabin.
Also unique to the new system is the 'Perl Glanz’ (Pearl Gloss) colour and large-diameter, machine-drilled holes. In addition, the large holes and overall grille maximize the airflow, while matching interior lines of the 6 Series Coupe. Finally, the Bang & Olufsen name has been laser engraved onto the surface of the majority of the grilles.
“We at Bang & Olufsen are proud to present such a spectacular car sound system for a car as unique as the all new BMW 6 Series Coupe. The cooperation between BMW and Bang & Olufsen is a true win-win for our customers and we very much look forward to bringing this first, joint audio product to the market. This enables the numerous Bang & Olufsen fans among BMW drivers to experience the same Bang & Olufsen sound experience as they do at home,” said Tue Mantoni, CEO of Bang & Olufsen.
