Definitely not dude as its 240 volts.  The only B&O that would really do the trick is the BeoLit 12 with its rechargeable battery BUT and hear is the HUGE but, i'm not sure if B&O have sorted out the terrible Airplay problems.  Until they do, there is no way I would recommend it to anyone. Have a serious word with your dealer and maybe borrow one but be very careful that it works properly

Or an A3 with embedded iPad 1 as an el cheapo solution.

I have had no Airplay or internet connection issues with mine -- and I think you can cable attach your iDevice to a BeoLit 12 anyway.

What I am not sure of, is which one would cope better with a humid bathroom environment.

The A3 has warnings with it of direct sunlight (but I have) and water (but I have had it as an experiment in out shower room).

Looking at the build and intended usage of the two, my gut feeling is that the BeoLit is probably better engineered for being in humid places e.g. the "Sailing" thread and summer picnics in the Uk which are accompanied by rain 😁

Hi,

 

 

I used to have my Beosund 1 for the last 2 years in our bath/fitness room, listening to the excellent sound. It proved to work very well and I can see no defect of the system. Before it was 5 years wall mounted in the kitchen opposite side of the dish washer.

 

 

It probably might depend in general on surrounding conditions so there will be no guarantee but I would not judge it that dangerous from my experience.

 

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Rolf

Excactly, Rolf.
There will be no problems in using a BS 1 in a bathroom.

To those who worry about using a 240 volts device in a bathroom:
Well - As Chris wrote: He would use it in the bathroom - not mount it next to the shower...

Well, there are bathrooms and bathrooms. To some, it will be a 1 x 2 meter box with a toilet seat, a sink, and a shower delimited by a plastic curtain and no air ventilation to speak of, and a single AC socket with a sign that says "DO NOT USE DURING BATH OR SHOWER" above it.

To some, it will be a flippin' spa that's bigger than the apartments most of us live in.

Use common sense. If you can reach to operate the device at the same time than you operate the shower tap, you probably should keep it far, far away from there. Likewise if the mirror stays misty for two hours after you stopped showering, it's no place for regular electronic devices...

Each to their own, but bathrooms are damp, humid places with water spillages. Having an electrical cord in that room is crazy pure crazy. I seriously can't think of anything more stupid and i'm surprised people have even considered doing this!

Each to their own but now there are so many, many battery powered Airplay & Bluetooth devices out there that a mains powered device is not needed!

Steffen, I think bathrooms in Denmark are also a lot larger than the majority of the ones here in the UK which do tend to be pretty compact!

You mustn't own a Beolit 12!

I love mine, and have never had any Airplay issues with it. I would highly recommend the Beolit 12 to anybody, maybe you should buy one Paul and see for yourself 🙂

BeoLab 2000.  In bathroom since 7 years ago.  

Works like a charm and gets listened-to every weekday morning.
