	The new system is what B&O call a one-point music player that streams through both AirPlay with iOS devices and DLNA with Android devices. The sound system delivers 480 watts via a digital Class D amplifier system with separate amps for each of the 5 built-in speaker units. Included in this is an 8-inch unit that lays down authoritative and tightly controlled bass through the bass port reflex construction hidden behind the unit. Via the use of Bang & Olufsen’s patented adaptive bass linearisation technology the BeoPlay A9 delivers accurate and powerful bass at all listening levels. The digital algorithm constantly monitors and adjusts the bass signal to root out distortion and protect the drivers inside. Users also have access to 3 pre-set room-positioning options to choose from, this technology allows one to easily optimise the sound according to the speaker’s location. The system has wooden legs which one can place it on the floor or you can take the legs off and use a wall bracket to mount it on the wall. You can also change the front cover in a snap – and make it match your mood and interior. Whatever your taste and preference BeoPlay A9 can be customized to adapt to it. You can choose from 10 different front covers and 6 different types of legs. BeoPlay A9 Black Edition is priced at AUD $2690, NZ $3650
