danish high-end audio company bang and olufsen have developed a new collection of wireless sound systems. the 'beoplay A9'
features a 2.1 bass reflex loudspeaker that combines five dedicated amplifier units and amps alongside a fine-tuned DSP
(digital signal processor) algorithm to create deep ambient tones with its 'adaptive bass linearization' technology.
it provides two ¾-inch tweeters and two 3-inch midrange units, all four driven by separate 80-watt class D amplifiers, to deliver crisp
highs and defined midtones. capable of connecting wirelessly through iPhone, iPad or Android devices, the 'beoPlay A9' streams
content via AirPlay or DLNA. users can swipe their hands across the touch sensor for controlling volume, or to mute the system
by simply resting it on top.

That’s something amazing.
How is it powered? Images show not only wireless but powerless? Or is there a rehchargeable battery hidden somewhere? You could say images are misleading?
I have the same question. On the B&O website there are also no power cords in the pics.
There is a “hole” in the cirkular plastic panel in the midlle of the back of the speaker in wich the power cord goes out and will properly follow the third “middle” leg with some of B&O’s white cable holders used on another B&O produkt the cd player with the front glas going upward has a floor stand in witch tha cable goes begind the aluminium leg hold by some plastic holders
