The Bang & Olufsen DCOTA showroom will provide the complete Bang & Olufsen product portfolio in addition to the newly launched sister brand - B&O PLAY - that offers portable, entry-level products that accentuate the hallmark B&O competencies of superior sound performance and strong design aesthetics. The DCOTA showroom will also be the first US showroom to feature the newly launched BeoPlay A9, the premium active speaker system from B&O PLAY that features a powerful wireless sound experience, original and provocative design, flexible placement options and intuitive, "invisible" operation.
