The Beosound 8 benefits from the active speaker technology that B&O has championed for many years. Class D amplification is used for the two-way loudspeakers and a placement switch is present which allows free standing, wall or corner settings. The dock connection allows iPods, iPhones or iPads to be used and the provision of a line in connection allows other devices to attach. In addition, a mini USB socket allows the customer to connect either a PC or Mac or an Airport Express to allow music to be played from their computer. A special Application written for the iPhone will be available which allows the music library to be browsed and also gives the BeoSound 8 both Alarm Clock functions and Net radio capabilities. It is was tested, and works very well, but as with all used electronics.
