Feel the low end.

  • Powerful bass. Precision control

    A custom-designed, downward-facing woofer and ingenious driver arrangement combine to deliver immersive bass. Advanced Adaptive Bass Linearisation (ABL) technology precisely monitors output, reducing excessive peaks and ensuring optimal performance at all levels.

  • A flawless listening experience

    Active Room Compensation acoustically optimises the low end based on the speaker's position and the room. This gives you the freedom to place the speakers anywhere you like – whether in a tight corner or up on the wall. The result: perfect playback, every time.

  • Sensitive, directional sound

    Three custom-designed 3" drivers and tweeter, perfectly placed for exceptionally high sensitivity and directionality. An innovative 6.5" woofer fires downwards for a minimalistic profile and powerful bass. An all-in-one speaker that shines no matter where it sits.

Active loudspeaker technology, evolved.

All-in-one speakers expertly tuned to give you a studio-quality listening experience at home, with 1250 watts of pure power and a wide frequency range of 27Hz to 23KHz. Advancing on the active loudspeaker technology we pioneered in 1986, Beolab 28 takes the classic column design and built-in amplifier formula to new heights. Digital Sound Processing (DSP) controls every driver individually, delivering exceptional clarity and depth from a system designed to last.
