At HiFi Arena, Bang&Olufsen presented the BeoSound 5 player. Actually, this player was presented here for the first time in the world. I don’t have to mention again that this player has a very interesting design. Basically, the design is the first thing that will make you say “wow” when you see it. Second of all, BeoSound 5 reintroduce an old pleasure of the user, the one of scrolling the wheels. It has such a friendly user way of searching through the artist, albums and tracks, between different radio stations, or cd’s by using a huge wheel.

BeoSound 5 comes with a new featured developed by B&O. This feature is called MOTS (More of the Same). The player analyzes what kind of music you you listening to and scans your music library to create a playlist based on the parameters analyzed. Basically, you choose to listen a couple of tracks, and BeoSound 5 will take the control after. The parameters analyzed by the MOTS are rhythm, syncopation, key tonality and vocal harmonies. Now, the player knows your mood and will try to satisfy your music needs.

The BeoSound 5 is capable of playing WMA lossless files. This format of files contains the bits that are missing in the MP3 format. So, the listening experience will be much more closer to the reality. The player comes with another unit, called BeoMaster 5. This unit is the “brain” of the system. It has a 500GB HD drive, capable of storing the songs and the galleries. Also, it has the ability of playing Internet Music (N.Music), Internet Radio (N.Radio), Photos and even Web browsing. Supported formats are WMA, WMA Lossless, MP3, WAV, ASF, AAC, ASX, M3U, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, JPG, MPEG, MPE, PMG, AVI, WMV, VFW1111. The software inside works on Microsoft Windows XP embedded.

Did I mention something about photos and web browsing??? Yes. The BeoSound 5 has an “album cover” feature. Through the 1024×768 LCD display, the user can see the album cover of the played album. This album cover feature is so easy to use using the BeoConnect software.

The BeoSound 5 has two very interesting stands. One of them is a black soft touch laquered iron stable and the other is a silver iron/zinc floor stand.

The only thing that I can say is that by far the Bang&Olufsen BeoSound 5 player was the most interesting device seen on HiFi Arena Bucharest 2008.

The big names of the exhibition were: Bang & Olufsen, Bose, Sony Overseas, Yamaha and Audiotehnic. I tried many products and all of them were incredible.

These days we are going to present you the latest and the most interesting products. You can find these articles by searching the “Hifi Arena” tag.

It is equipped with medical emergency equipment and high speed survelliance devices. It has a refrigerated cabinet in the hood for transporting donor organs and a defibrillator on-board. So, the policemen have to know some medical studies. There are 30 police officers (including 3 women) that have been trained for using the medical equipment.

But this car is not just an ambulance. It has attached in the front a live video camera connected to the station that surveillance the traffic and the speed of the cars. This camera is connected with a GPS device. Both of them, working together, make everything much more easier. The camera broadcasts live the chasing and transmits all the data (location, speed, direction, license plate number) to the police station using radio data transmission. This way, the details about the pursued car are already found out.

Now, this is the most powerful police car at the moment!
