Speakers and systems for every room
Confidence
A new level of high-end listening
The classic passive speaker has evolved. The all-new Confidence takes Dynaudio’s most celebrated audio technologies to startling heights with new materials, techniques and technologies.
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of knowing – for a fact – that something is as good as it gets.
Sit back in your chair and listen, secure in the certainty that every detail of the speakers in front of you is dedicated to revealing every detail of the music they’re playing. Close your eyes and be delighted.
Confidence means pure performance.
It’s the best speaker range Dynaudio has ever produced, and it’s packed with science specifically developed to honour art. Brand-new drivers – including the mighty new Esotar3 tweeter – combine with a precision composite baffle, innovative cabinet design and optimised crossover to create the most advanced passive speaker in our history. (Something you can learn more about in our six-part podcast series on the new Confidence).
Intensive analysis in our Jupiter measuring facility has resulted in the next-generation of Dynaudio’s DDC sound-beaming technology – including the new DDC Lens waveguide system. The Esotar3 tweeter in the DDC Lens works in tandem with the new NeoTec woofers, the radical Horizon midrange driver surround and the innovative Compex baffle to ensure music goes exactly where you want it: your ears.
But you won’t focus on the tech – you’ll be lost in the music.
Experience the art of listening on a Confidence system. It’s a masterclass in audio.
Inside the all-new Confidence
The updated Confidence range features a raft of new technologies. They’ve all been conceived, engineered and perfected in Dynaudio Labs, the giant, state-of-the-art R&D facility at our HQ in Skanderborg, Denmark.
New Esotar3 tweeter
The Esotar3 is the pinnacle of Dynaudio soft-dome tweeter design. It’s an evolution of the renowned Esotar2 found in the new Contour and previous Confidence series, and it incorporates (and improves on) the cutting-edge airflow-optimisation technology seen in the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary-edition tweeter.
The Esotar3’s rear chamber is much larger to reduce resonance, damping has been further optimised, and there’s a super-strong neodymium magnet on board for greater sensitivity and control.
Contour i
Dedicated to detail
Born in 1986… raised in 2020
Leave Dynaudio engineers alone with a speaker and they’ll make it better. They can’t help themselves. And they love nothing more than improving a legend.
Everything inside the new Contour i has been taken apart, re-designed, refined and reassembled. Expect more openness, more punch and more detail. Feel the goosebumps appear as you hear new dimensions in your favourite recordings. Transport yourself back to a time when all that mattered was the next track on the album…
With a new tweeter, new woofers, new crossovers – and new thrills – Contour i takes all you’ve loved about the family since 1986, adds 2020 knowhow, and brings your music back to life.
We don’t do it because we have to. We do it because we can.
There was nothing wrong with the 2016 Contour. We love it. It’s gained legions of fans, its trophy shelf is groaning under the weight of awards, and many of us at Dynaudio even bought some ourselves. But when irresistible new acoustic technology emerges from Dynaudio Labs – as it did with the all-new Confidence series – we simply can’t hold ourselves back from seeing how it could improve our existing ranges.
That’s why the new Contour i series has been totally overhauled on the inside.
New Esotar 2i tweeter
Taking it from the top, the brand-new Esotar 2i tweeter on all models gains the ingenious Hexis resonance-defeating inner dome, plus a new, larger rear chamber that reduces distortion and gives a flatter frequency response.
Evoke
Evoke is for you. It’s for living rooms. Home cinema rooms. Listening rooms. Even bedrooms. It’s serious hi-fi, everywhere.
This brand-new speaker range takes advanced technology directly from our top-of-the-range speakers – including finishes, driver technology and design. And that means each of the five Evoke models can vibe with you, grow with you, and stay with you – however you listen.
Every single part has been looked at from the ground up. Every driver has been optimised in Dynaudio’s state-of-the-art Jupiter measuring lab. And every finish has been painstakingly formulated and executed to reflect those on our most exclusive speakers.
Music should last a lifetime. With Evoke, it will.
A brand-new Dynaudio speaker range
Creating an entirely new family of loudspeakers is something our designers and engineers relish. At the start the whole process is a sandbox – one that’s full of out-there ideas, wishlists and ingenious solutions that had been percolating in brains and notebooks.
And because they have four decades of established research and legendary products to draw on, our engineers know they’re on pretty much the right track before they even put the first prototype together.
With Evoke, they landed right in the Goldilocks zone. After months of intense R&D it became a five-strong family of speakers. All that experience meant the team could combine cutting-edge technology directly from the Contour and all-new Confidence ranges – not to mention ultra-high build and finish quality and traditional, elegant cabinets designed to look great in any listening environment – with exceptional value for money.
Listen to your favourite album for the first time. Again.
We created Evoke because we want everyone to be able to enjoy genuine hi-fi – the thing we all aspire to – without having to rearrange rooms, replace much-loved equipment, or agonise over the price.
We created Evoke for the people who agonise over what to listen to next.
And when they finally decide, we know they’ll hear something new in their favourite music. It could be the tiniest sound of a hand moving up the neck of a nylon-string guitar in an LA recording studio, or the shuffle of a cello player’s feet on-stage at the Berliner Philharmonie. It might be a backing vocal that suddenly makes that pre-chorus sparkle, or that extra bit of heavy-metal punch that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up (and sets off the neighbour’s dog).
Listen to Evoke and you’ll rediscover everything you love about music. Use them in stereo. Use them as part of a multi-channel home cinema system. Add one of our optional subwoofers. The family is designed to grow and change with you.
“I didn’t know there was a tambourine part in that song”
How do we do it? Experience, technology, intensive analysis in our Jupiter measuring facility… and good, old-fashioned listening. Hundreds of hours of it.
The entire range uses trickle-down technology from our top-of-the-line loudspeakers.
Take the Cerotar tweeter, which makes its debut in Evoke. It’s a brand-new, ground-up design based on our award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the mighty Esotar3 found in the new, money-no-object Confidence series. Underneath the 28mm soft-dome diaphragm sits the Hexis inner dome (something you’ll currently only find in Confidence). This refines the airflow behind the tweeter’s playing surface to smooth-out its frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances. Behind it all, the new motor system uses strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets to further increase tweeter sensitivity.
It all took a very long time (and more than one effervescent ‘discussion’) to refine and tune the Cerotar. But we think you’ll agree it was time well spent. Its developments give you a detailed and natural high frequency response that’s smooth enough to take you through many albums’ worth of music in one sitting without feeling tired. Exactly as it should be.
Ace of bass
The Esotec+ woofers use MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) in their diaphragms – just like all Dynaudio speakers have done since we started in 1977.
The versions used in Evoke 10, 20, 30 and 25C use new surrounds and improved Ferrite+ magnet systems to extend their throw, their frequency response and their low-frequency dynamics – all while maintaining stellar midrange performance. And the 18cm driver in Evoke 50 borrows technology from both the Contour and Confidence ranges to deliver eyebrow-raising low-frequency dynamics and timing.
You’ll hear that as full, precise bass with all the clarity you could want. Perfect for anything from intimate classical music to full-throttle rock or dance.
The Evoke 50’s midrange driver is directly derived from the design developed for the renowned Contour 60. It uses a powerful neodymium magnet, plus lightweight materials (including an aluminium voice-coil) specifically optimised for midrange duties.
It’s all marshalled by high-grade crossovers between the tweeter, midrange and low-frequency drivers.
But we can’t perfect all that without some seriously long listening sessions. And that, for us, is the key: we listen like you do. No song is off-limits. Nothing is too cheesy, or too high-brow. We love music, so there’s no other way we can design our speakers other than for fellow music-lovers.
What will music sound like in 30 years? Awesome.
Evoke is built to last. Each of the simple, elegant cabinets (themselves the result of months of painstaking prototyping, refinement and care), is available in four finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood.
New lacquering techniques mean the gloss versions have a stunning, almost glass-like finish, while the wood versions have open veneers for a warm, natural feeling. And they’ll only look better over time.
Our designers wanted Evoke to be the kind of speaker you take with you from student residence, to apartment, to house. The kind of speaker you’ll rediscover your favourite music with – and then pass it on.
Listen up: Evoke is for you.

Emit
Discover just how good your collection can sound
Emit is your way into true high-end Danish hi-fi. Enjoy your music and films in a way you never thought possible at the price, thanks to trickle-down technology from Dynaudio’s incredible Confidence, Contour i and Evoke ranges.
Whatever your tastes, you’ll hear the result of 45 years of painstaking research, development and listening experience. From the proprietary MSP cone material and fabric soft-dome tweeter technology Dynaudio has been using since 1977, to the up-to-the-minute Hexis inner dome and magnet systems, Emit lets you join the ‘high-end club’ in style.
Use them in stereo. Use them in a home-cinema system. Stream through them. Play your old vinyl records. Take your next step into authentic audiophile performance.
Hi-fi starts with Emit
Dipping your toe in the high-end water can be daunting. You want to trust that you’re spending your hard-earned money on the right thing – especially if you’ve never owned a separates system before.
The good news for you is that Emit will pay-back that trust – and then some. It might be the least expensive family in our range, but we’ve still packed it full of many of the advances you’ll find in our other, much higher-priced speakers. For one thing, it uses the same coated fabric soft-dome Cerotar tweeters we’ve deployed in the Evoke range. And those tweeters, in turn, derive their technology from the top-of-the-tree Confidence family and Core professional studio system. That’s pedigree.
The mid/bass drivers use Dynaudio’s own MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) cones – made in one piece, with the integrated dust-cap bonded directly to the voice-coil motor behind them for even better stability and clarity. You’ll find that design philosophy running all the way back to our very first models, produced in 1977.
Emit’s crossovers were designed and tuned by the same team as Confidence, Evoke, Contour i, Special Forty, Core, Heritage Special and more. The range uses a mix of first-, second- and fourth-order designs depending on the speaker, and its drivers. We’ve mixed topologies because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-no-one methods merely to cut costs. Each speaker in the Emit family has been custom tuned using the best tools for the job. Sure, it took longer, but the results are well worth hearing.
All the loudspeakers in the Emit family were measured in our vast Jupiter testing facility at Dynaudio Labs. It’s a huge 13 x 13 x 13m room in the heart of our R&D building, in the middle of which lurks a vast 6m robotic measuring array. It’s bristling with 31 microphones that measure the speakers’ impulse response, allowing our team of engineers to optimise their performance in near real-time. You can find out more about Jupiter here.
The clean, unfussy cabinets were designed and styled by the people who’ve been behind some of our most famous speakers – all at our HQ in Denmark. They’re available in three custom laminate finishes (Black, White and Walnut), designed to complement any set-up (including if you want them to be unobtrusive in a multichannel system). All speakers in the series come with black magnetic grilles.
Emit is hi-fi, distilled. Plug in a pair and you’ll experience the very essence of your collection, whether that’s a stock of CDs, streaming playlists or a library of your favourite films. Astonishing consistency between speakers in the family means that wild panning effects stay locked-in, and stereo systems sing in total harmony.
There’s no better way to start your audiophile journey.
HeritageSpecial

SpecialForty
Cutting-edge acoustic technology in a classic Dynaudio design
The Special Forty anniversary speaker draws on 40 years of cutting-edge research – and brings it totally up to date with Dynaudio’s most celebrated techniques and technologies.
Laurels aren’t for resting on
We still surprise ourselves. Some people might be content to sit back and be complacent about their successes after 40 years of constant innovation. We aren’t. In fact, we only get hungrier for new techniques and technologies.
That’s why we developed the Special Forty: we wanted to revisit those innovations and see what we’d do differently this time.
What you won’t find here is anything revolutionary. Instead, you’ll discover a look at our past – along with some special sneak-previews of the future.
The Special Forty is classic Dynaudio: all the craftsmanship, attention to detail and total love of authentic sound you’ve come to expect. It’s the connoisseur’s choice – a simple pair of passive hi-fi speakers. But it isn’t about looking back, misty-eyed, at past glories and leaving it at that. It’s about using those glories as a platform from which to launch our next set of breakthroughs.
Greatest hits… reimagined
We do compact speakers really well. We always have. So, as a nod back to classics including the Special One, the Special Twenty-Five, the Crafft and the Contour 1.3SE, we kept the Special Forty pure – if incredibly advanced.
Of course, it wouldn’t be an anniversary speaker if it didn’t include some of our greatest hits. But we haven’t just got the old band back together to trot out the same old stuff, unchanged. We’ve remixed, remastered and rearranged things to bring those old favourites into 2017 – and beyond.
That’s why it has one of our classic first-order crossover designs, incorporating our unique Phase Alignment and Impedance Alignment technologies. The crossover expertly marshals the input signal between the woofer and the tweeter – so each driver gets only the frequencies it’s supposed to, and can perform at its very best. Its specially selected components handle the impedance optimisation and, because both drivers have extended frequency ranges for even better overlap and integration, that performance borders on the mesmerising.
The song remains the same
The Special Forty uses our proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) material for its main driver. MSP delivers precisely the right combination of rigidity, damping and stability for the most faithful sound reproduction. And, unlike other cone materials, it doesn’t change over time – so your Special Forty speakers will still be singing just as sweetly come our next anniversary.
The cone itself uses a painstakingly developed symmetrical excursion for even better midrange performance. Behind it sits our asymmetrical spider – our passive harmonic rectifier. It minimises upper harmonics to further tighten the performance and make it possible not only to pick out individual parts in a piece of music, but even individual instruments in an orchestra. (So now, finally, the Third Violin section can have its day in the sun.) And, like all our other MSP cones, it’s a one-piece design (you can tell by the special balance ribs around the central dust-cap). This gives it an incredibly solid connection to the voice-coil, as well as stabilising its form – which is crucial when you decide to turn it up to 11.
It all sits in our special AirFlow Basket – the bit that holds the whole driver motor securely in place in the cabinet. Its development was one of those ‘Eureka!’ moments our engineers seem to get a few times a week in Dynaudio Labs (you can often hear them cheering from across the road in our factory). We asked them to reduce internal reflections and increase air movement without compromising the basket’s stiffness or stability, and this genius design is what they came up with.
Airflow is king
The new Esotar Forty tweeter takes air-movement to another level. It moves the air in typically sweet fashion in front of the DSR (Dynaudio Secret Recipe) precision-coated soft-dome, of course, but there’s a lot of engineering going on behind it as well.
Sub
Give your films and music that extra push
Dynaudio subwoofers are about much more than shaking the pictures off your walls and rattling the fillings out of your neighbours’ teeth (although they can probably give it a good try if you want). Get the extra punch that really makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up
Listen to an orchestra at full throttle and it’s really loud. It’s pure, and musical, and dynamic, and lifting. And there’s also a lot of bass. The same goes for live gigs. Or a high-budget film in a good cinema.
If you want to give your films and music that little bit extra, a Dynaudio subwoofer is the way.
From the compact, punchy Sub 3 to the mighty Sub 6, both models offer the flexibility to suit any loudspeaker set-up – and, above all, deliver extremely high performance.
The Sub 6 is ideal for ambitious home cinemas and high-end hi-fi systems where deep bass and true Dynaudio sound quality is desired. With two brand-new 24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers and a 500 watt amplifier, the Sub 6 impresses with an amazingly fast and powerful bass performance.
The compact Sub 3 is the smallest high-performance subwoofer from Dynaudio. Equipped with a 300 Watt amplifier and a 24cm driver, it delivers precise and dynamic bass, while its compact enclosure makes room placement incredibly easy.
Our digital speakers
The next generation of digital high-end loudspeakers
No amplifier. No speaker cables. No compromise.
Focus
Your complete wireless sound system
Imagine the possibilities… connect to every single streaming service. To internet radio. To your TV. Even your turntable. Now you can experience limitless music in audiophile quality, without cables. Instantly.
This is true wireless hi-fi: the features you want, the finish you expect, and the audio performance you deserve.
Focus is packed with future-proof software and wireless connectivity, plus award-winning acoustic technology from our flagship hi-fi and pro studio ranges. It isn’t just a new family of loudspeakers – it’s a refreshing new way to listen to all the music you love.
Imagine listening to something different today.
Higher-fi
If it’s available online, Focus will stream it… Think Spotify Connect. Tidal Connect. Apple AirPlay 2. Google Chromecast. Roon. High-quality Bluetooth. And more.
If it’s been released as a recording, Focus will play it… Anything stored on a networked hard-drive. Digital sources via coaxial or optical inputs. Analogue sources via line-in. Want to hook up your turntable or your ancient 8-track machine and take your vintage collection multi-room? Do it.
It will even connect wirelessly to your WiSA-compatible TV for high-quality stereo sound, untethered, and there’s a subwoofer trigger for those of you building a bigger home cinema system.
And the speakers are all you need – no equipment rack, no monolithic stacks of amps, AV receivers and sources. No intricate cable-routing systems that sing a siren song to dust. Just one mains socket each.
Tinkered and tailored
That’s because Focus is a high-end active system. Each individual drive-unit has its own custom-turned amplifier (the same type we use in our professional studio speakers). Each amplifier is matched in performance for its woofer, midrange driver or tweeter. It means we can dial-in every speaker to a stunning degree of accuracy, so you can dial-in your ears and experience the kind of detail that grabs you by the lapels and makes you drop everything else.
Thanks to sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing), Focus speakers can optimise their performance for their position in your room. Just tell them where they are – near to a wall, in a corner or in free space – and they’ll do the rest. And if you want to dig deeper down the calibration rabbit-hole, there’s optional Dirac Live optimisation for performance tailored to your specific room.
They’ll even auto-compensate their EQ when you apply or remove their magnetic grilles. Our designers actually wrote some special code to make the new signature ‘Y’ shaped LED flash blue to let you know it’s recalibrating. (Leave our team alone for a while and they’re sure to improve on perfection.)
And – of course – all Focus speakers use Dynaudio’s legendary soft-dome tweeters, proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) woofers, and beautifully finished furniture-grade wooden cabinets. They’ve been designed, tuned, measured, tested and constructed with all the care and fanatical attention to detail we pour into all our high-end speakers. Just as you’d expect.
Everything is set up from the simple, intuitive Dynaudio app. Configure your speakers, connect them to your network, assign presets and more – all from one place. Then you can use either the stylish Bluetooth remote control or your mobile device to control your music.
These speakers are digital – and digital means they can be updated. We’ll send out periodic firmware updates, which download automatically to your speaker (you can choose whether or not you install them, of course). That means we can enable new features, improve tunings as we refine them and much more. You can upgrade your system without even touching it.
We know many of you want to experience true high-end sound without stacks of powered rectangles between your hi-fi speakers. Now you can. Focus is authentic, premium Danish hi-fi without the fuss. It’s your complete wireless sound system.
Focus 50
Your complete wireless sound system
Large floor-standing active wireless speakers
Perhaps the world’s most advanced active wireless hi-fi system
Focus 50 is the pinnacle of wireless hi-fi. All the convenience of a consumer speaker system with all the heavyweight credentials of our most prestigious hi-fi speakers.
Focus 50 is an active wireless stereo speaker system brimming with connectivity. If you want to fill your room with true audiophile performance without also filling it with cables, boxes and racks, this one is for you.
Connect over the air via Apple AirPlay 2 from your MacBook, iPad or iPhone; with Google Chromecast from your Android phone, tablet or Chromebook; using Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect from… well, anything with Spotify or Tidal on it. Hook up with Roon; stream via Bluetooth. You can even connect your physical digital sources via coaxial or optical digital inputs, your analogue ones (including turntables, 8-track machines and Edison Concert Phonographs) via line-in or a compatible adaptor, and your networked devices via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
What does that mean? Effectively, that if it’s been released as a recording, you can listen to it. All of it. And hi-res heaven is only a smartphone swipe away.
Focus 50 is designed for living rooms, not sterile listening caves. It’s built for those who want to share amazing sound with their loved ones (invite them over and get them connected… but good luck getting them to leave again). That’s why we’ve also built-in WiSA streaming. Focus 50 can connect wirelessly to your TV (and therefore anything else connected to it) and take the place of a hulking AV receiver/cable tangle/equipment stand combination. The only downside? Your cat won’t be able to warm itself on the amp any more…
Simple set-up, powerful performance
We’d be amazed if it took you longer than five minutes to go from unboxing to listening. Just plug the speakers into the mains, launch the accompanying Dynaudio app, follow the guided set-up instructions (which gets you connected to your network and helps you optimise your speakers), and that’s it.
Focus 50 only needs two cables: one for each power plug. That’s because its amplifiers are built in. And not just one amplifier per speaker either – each individual driver has its own amp, specifically tuned and optimised to work with that exact unit. No compromising with one-size-fits-nothing amplification, no hassle with component matching, no cables gathering dust. It’s a tailored system.
Each speaker has three class-D amplifiers on board: one 110W unit for the Cerotar tweeter, a 280W amp for the neodymium midrange driver, and one 280W amp for the twin Esotec+ bass drivers (which are driven in parallel). They all come from our partners at Pascal in Copenhagen – the same company we’ve worked with to create the power plants for our mighty Core professional studio systems. Peak power, you ask? A whopping 1000W. The Focus 50s – and your ears – are in good hands.
All that power is marshalled by sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology – the same type we use in our Core and LYD pro ranges. During set-up in the app, tell the speakers where they are in the room (near a wall, in a corner or in free space) and they’ll optimise their performance for that position. And if you (or an installer) want to take calibration to the next level, there’s optional Dirac Live tech for total customisation.
We’ve even included custom EQ presets that take into account whether or not the magnetic grille is installed… and you don’t have to do anything to activate them (besides installing said grille, of course). Auto-sensing technology in the speaker understands when the grille is on or off – and the ‘Y’-shaped light briefly glows blue to let you know that it knows. Ingenious.
And to prevent speaker damage at high volumes, we’ve designed a custom sliding high-pass filter that reduces woofer excursion as the level goes up. (Although your neighbours will probably be banging on the wall long before that happens.)
Traditional Dynaudio expertise
We’re always excited to be able to use new flagship hardware across our range. Focus 50 draws heavily from techniques and technologies used in our high-end Contour and Confidence passive hi-fi families.
For example, the soft-dome Cerotar tweeter uses the Confidence’s Hexis inner dome. It’s a clever extra part that sits just behind the playing surface to optimise airflow and minimise unwanted resonances. Sitting behind it is a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ magnet system to maximise sensitivity. In English, that means sweeter, clearer treble, which is easier to listen to for much longer.
Complementing the tweeter is a dedicated midrange driver (the only one in the Focus range), derived from the award-winning Contour 60. It’s a 15cm unit with a powerful neodymium magnet, a glass-fibre voice-coil former and a trademark Dynaudio aluminium voice-coil. This fleet-footed unit uses lightweight magnet and coil materials to give it more agility while maintaining a tight grip on midrange frequencies. And for you, that means Contour-level performance.
Handling the bottom end is a pair of 18cm Esotec+ woofers. They use trickle-down tech from both Confidence and Contour to deliver tight, powerful bass. Unlike other Focus models, however, there’s a copper voice-coil sitting inside the Ferrite+ magnet. That’s because, as a pure bass driver, this driver doesn’t need to reproduce agile midrange tones – and so can have more moving mass. Power and control are front and centre.
Designed for life
No gimmicks, no nonsense – just clean, stylish Danish design and craftsmanship. From the anodised brushed aluminium cover rings around the drivers, to the subtle Dynaudio logo atop the speaker grille, and the gently glowing light (which changes colour to let you know what the speaker is doing) we’ve made sure Focus 50 looks the part when sitting in a real living space.
Run your fingers over the beautiful open-grained Blonde Wood and Walnut Wood finishes, or marvel at the glassy High Gloss Black and High Gloss White lacquer. Take in the shape of the gently tapered cabinet. Even the backplate has been given special treatment.
Focus 50 is the ultimate premium wireless hi-fi system. True audiophile quality with all the benefits of modern digital streaming technology. It’s time to listen to something new…
Your complete wireless sound system
Compact floorstanding active wireless speakers
Hi-fi quality with consumer convenience… the perfect combination
Be bold… Listen alone. Listen with friends. Listen to old favourites or something surprisingly ‘not you’. Listen to music. Listen to your TV. Listen to your turntable and millions of hi-res online tracks. Listen without cables. Without having to leave your seat. Without limits.
Focus 30 gives you access to everything that’s ever been recorded and put online. These compact floorstanding speakers are loaded with futureproof streaming technology and connectivity to bring a new world of audiophile-quality music directly to your living room.
And when we say ‘loaded’, we mean it. With Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Roon, Bluetooth and local network connectivity on board (and with the capability for even more), Focus 30 will accept streaming audio from any compatible device. That could be a laptop, a phone, a tablet, a network-attached storage device… even a smart watch. If your content is stored in hi-res, your ears are in for a real treat.
And if you have a bunch of equipment from your previous system, you can keep using it. A full set of digital and analogue connections on the rear panel means you can use your CD player or turntable alongside Focus 30’s built-in streaming smarts.
We’ve thought of TV owners, too. If you don’t want the bulk of a full AV receiver, equipment rack and cabling in your living room (maybe you’d like to have something a little more attractive under your TV – like a bookshelf, or your dog), Focus 30 has you covered. Its built-in WiSA technology connects wirelessly to a compatible TV or USB dongle to bring its audio seamlessly to your speakers. No clutter, no fuss.
Behind the music
Focus 30 has more than 40 years of acoustic expertise to back-up its technological wizardry.
Its drivers are classic Dynaudio: a Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with the ingenious resonance-defeating, frequency-smoothing, fatigue-busting Hexis device – plus twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid/bass units. What could be more familiar?
The Cerotar tweeter is based on the range-topping Esotar 3 you’ll find in our Confidence range. It uses a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ magnet system, optimised for airflow, to increase sensitivity. In practice that means clear, sweet, detailed treble that’s easy to listen to… perfect for listening late into the night.
The Esotec+ mid/bass units are made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a material we developed ourselves and have been refining and using for four decades. It provides exactly the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping for incredible control over midrange and low frequencies. Couple that with a lightweight aluminium voice-coil (for more accuracy, control and finesse) and an improved magnet system that generates more driver excursion (for lower, punchier bass and more midrange clarity) and you’ve a formula for addictive, toe-tapping performance.
And the closed-box cabinet design lets us take full advantage of the powerful amplification and DSP (digital signal processing) on board – marrying the extreme low-frequencies, the expressive midrange and soaring treble in exciting new ways.
Brains and brawn
Focus 30 is active, which means each individual driver is powered by its own amplifier. There are three amps in each speaker – each one tailored to the driver it’s paired with. It means we can zero in on that particular driver’s strengths, bringing them out without needing to compromise for other frequencies. The tweeter has a 110W amp, and each mid/bass driver has its own 280W powerhouse.
We’ve used high-quality class-D amps from our partners at Pascal in Copenhagen. We know each other well: our flagship pro speaker series, Core – used in some of the world’s top studios – also uses Pascal amps. We think you’ll agree that being able to draw a sonic line directly from the artist to your living room is something rather special.
That line continues through the DSP. As with our pro speakers, you can tell Focus 30 where it’s sitting in your room (near a wall, in a corner or in free space) via a simple switch in the companion Dynaudio app and it will optimise itself to sound its best in that position. There’s even optional Dirac Live integration for a deep-dive into calibration – and completely customised results.
The speakers even know when they’re wearing a magnetic grille or are standing in their birthday suit – and they’ll optimise themselves accordingly. And they’re constantly keeping an ear out for the kind of volume levels that could cause damage to the drivers and amp; a custom sliding high-pass filter rolls off the bass at high volume to keep everything balanced. In practice, that means you get deeper bass at lower volume levels – and you can push the speakers louder overall (your neighbours can thank you later).
Objectively beautiful
Some active systems look like weird creatures from the future… but who wants a couple of spiky novelties peering back at them in the living room? With Focus 30 we’ve stuck to what we do best: simple, stylish, timeless Danish design.
We studied interior design trends and tailored the whole product family for real-life rooms and real people. You’ll get top-quality cabinetry, glorious fit-and-finish (check out the anodised brushed aluminium cover rings and discreet Dynaudio logo on the grille), and four furniture grade finishes (see below). Just as you’d expect from a high-end hi-fi system.
Focus 30 isn’t just a pair of active speakers. It isn’t yet another copycat wireless system. It’s so much more – a true audiophile-grade game-changer. It’s time to listen to something new…
Your complete wireless sound system
Compact stand-mount active wireless speakers
You know what they say about good things and small packages…
Our compact speakers have been raising eyebrows with their performance for more than 40 years. The smallest member of the Focus family will send them skyward once again.
Focus 10 is more than just a pair of active loudspeakers. It’s a complete music system, packed from top to bottom with the technology that’s taken Dynaudio to legendary status – allied with the most cutting-edge wireless features we could think of. And we thought of a lot.
Streaming is placed front and centre. With Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Roon, Bluetooth and local network capabilities on board, Focus 10 can play literally anything stored in digital form, from anywhere you can access it – online or on a networked hard-drive at home. Hundreds of millions of tracks, all accessible at the touch of a finger on your phone or tablet.
Thanks to their built-in WiSA technology, the speakers will also connect wirelessly to a compatible TV or USB dongle – doing away with the need for bulky home cinema electronics and freeing-up space on your equipment rack for something other than yet another black rectangle.
And the beauty is, it’s all so simple. Minimal set-up time, only two cables for the wall-plugs and an elegant, intuitive app to customise, set presets and more. Going from unboxing to hearing true audiophile sound has never been this quick or easy.
A new way to listen
‘Active’ doesn’t mean one single amplifier per speaker. It means one single amplifier per driver. For Focus 10, that means two each. Why an amp for each individual tweeter and mid/bass unit? Because that gives us more control over their performance. And that means each driver sounds as good as it possibly can, with no compromise.
It’s all kept in check with sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) tech. We took all the lessons we learned while creating our award-winning Focus XD, Xeo, LYD and Core ranges and produced a system that’s as effective as it is simple to use. Tell the speakers where they are in your room (near a wall, in a corner or in free space) by choosing the appropriate option in the Dynaudio app, and they’ll optimise their performance for that position. If you want to delve deeper into calibration there’s optional Dirac Live technology for completely bespoke results.
Even the magnetic grille is smart. Focus 10 has specific EQ settings for when it’s in use or not (you’ll know it’s doing its thing when you see the light glow blue briefly).
There’s brawn to go with the brains, too. With a total of 390W of class-D Pascal amplification under the hood in each speaker (110W for the tweeter and 280W for the woofer), Focus 10 is primed and ready to fill even a midsize room with high-quality sound. In fact, we’d say they pack more punch than a speaker of their size has any right to.
There’s even an automatic failsafe system to ensure the speakers aren’t damaged when cranked to neighbour-bothering levels: a bespoke sliding high-pass filter reduces woofer excursion as the volume rises. Clever.
Classic Dynaudio drivers
The drivers themselves are every bit as impressive as the technology that feeds them.
Up top is a 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter. It uses techniques and materials developed during the creation of our acclaimed Confidence, Special Forty and Core ranges – including the Hexis inner dome (which sits just under the diaphragm and refines airflow behind the playing surface to smooth the frequency response and reduce unwanted resonances). The optimised magnet system uses a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic design to increase tweeter sensitivity – which brings incredible detail and a sweet, natural treble response. That means an extremely low level of listener fatigue… which means you can listen for longer. Always a good thing.
The 14cm Esotec+ mid/bass driver is the best we’ve ever created in this size chassis. We created it using experience gained while developing the new Contour series – so to say it has pedigree is something of an understatement. Its new surround and improved magnet system create an extended throw length, which extends the frequency response at lower frequencies while hanging on to its stellar midrange performance. And because the box is closed, we’ve been able to extend that low-frequency performance down to trouser-flapping depths.
Looks that thrill
Focus 10 wouldn’t be a Dynaudio speaker if it didn’t look incredible. It’s available in four beautiful finishes – Blonde Wood, Walnut Wood, Black High Gloss and White High Gloss – each developed to complement real-world living spaces.
After all, not everyone wants to re-arrange their living-room around their speakers.
Then there are the little touches you might not notice at first. The brushed anodised aluminium cover rings on the tweeter and mid/bass driver. The discreet Dynaudio logo on the grille’s aluminium top. The light on the front of the speaker, which glows gently in different colours to tell you what’s happening. Even the backplate has been given special treatment.
Focus 10 is true Danish high-end hi-fi, made wireless. If your raised eyebrows had eyebrows, they’d be raised as well. It’s time to listen to something new…
Connect
The nerve-centre of your high-end wireless system
Run one set of speakers, build a multiroom system, go hi-res. Use a turntable, a CD player, a TV, a streamer. It’s your choice. Just connect…
Dynaudio Connect brings together all the inputs you need to integrate wireless Focus XD and Xeo speakers into your system.
You can hook up any conceivable source – even those old-school analogue ones you haven’t brought down from the attic in years – and then stream their playback over your home network to your digital active loudspeakers.
And because it uses Wi-Fi, you can access your own digital files from any DLNA device on your network. High-quality aptX Bluetooth support lets you stream from any Bluetooth device – including smartphones, tablets and computers, while the digital optical and coaxial inputs accept full-on 24-bit/192kHz hi-res audio files (USB is 24/96). Want to stream wireless hi-res to your Focus XD speakers? No problem: Connect also outputs 24-bit/96kHz over the air.
Total control
Download the free Dynaudio Control app for iOS and you can ditch the remote for the Focus XD or second-gen Xeo. It lets you control both speakers directly, and the Connect itself: flip between inputs (which you can name yourself), change the volume and switch zones in a multiroom set-up.
