When engine roar meets melodic harmony, every journey transforms into a private concert. Ford Motor Company has collaborated with the renowned audio brand Bang & Olufsen to integrate cutting-edge sound technology into its vehicles, creating an unprecedented auditory experience.
Ford's Bang & Olufsen audio systems represent more than conventional car speakers—they are technological artworks combining advanced engineering with acoustic precision. Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, these systems immerse drivers in high-fidelity audio during every trip.
The system features 8 to 14 strategically placed speakers, including ultra-performance midrange drivers and external coupled subwoofers (ECS). Each component undergoes meticulous calibration to produce rich, detailed soundscapes across all frequencies, faithfully reproducing musical genres from classical to rock.
With amplifiers ranging from 560 watts to nearly 1000 watts, the system delivers balanced, immersive audio. Multichannel amplification incorporates Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology featuring up to 100 filters that optimize sound quality for both stationary and dynamic driving conditions.
The DSP technology precisely controls audio output while adaptive volume adjustment automatically compensates for road noise and vehicle speed. This ensures consistent listening quality regardless of external conditions.
Speaker grilles crafted from powder-coated steel and anodized aluminum complement vehicle interiors, while the distinctive B&O branding adds sophisticated visual appeal.
Available surround sound functionality creates expansive audio environments, delivering concert hall-like experiences from any seating position.
Bang & Olufsen systems are available across select Ford models, with each receiving unique acoustic tuning tailored to specific cabin characteristics. Notable 2024 models featuring this technology include:
- Ford Super Duty
- Bronco & Bronco Sport
- Explorer
- Maverick
- Expedition
- F-150 & F-150 Lightning
- Mustang & Mustang Mach-E
Ford's Bang & Olufsen systems introduce Beosonic™ technology, allowing drivers to customize sound profiles through intuitive touchscreen controls. Four distinct audio spaces are available:

Additional preset modes include Lounge, Party, Podcast, and Custom configurations, while traditional equalizer controls allow further audio refinement.
The systems integrate with Ford's SYNC® technology, enabling voice-controlled audio management and touchscreen operation. Full compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ allows smartphone connectivity, while available wireless charging and Bluetooth® streaming enhance convenience.
Navigation systems benefit from clear voice guidance and uninterrupted audio transitions between music, directions, and calls.
Bang & Olufsen's audio legacy manifests in Ford vehicles through precisely positioned speakers, powerful amplification, and advanced digital processing. Each system undergoes vehicle-specific tuning to maintain consistent sound quality across driving conditions.
