  • Page 5 Dynaudio‘s enduring passion for musical truth. Dynaudio is one of very few companies who can realize such loudspeaker concepts through its own in-house development and production facilities. These facilities are so advanced and the quality control is so strict that Dynaudio is TS16949 certified.

  • Page 11: Bi-Wiring / Bi-Amping

    Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed to be very neutral and thus are not extremely suited to any particular type of cable. The choice of cable is as much a factor of matching the cable to the entire audio system. Please consult your Dynaudio dealer for information about compatible loudspeaker cables that will suit both your electronics and your Dynaudio loudspeakers.
  • Page 12 ▪ To maintain the aesthetic quality of the loudspeakers for the long term, placing them in very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided. Dynaudio loudspeakers consist of classic bass reflex loudspeaker designs with no unusual or extraordinary positioning demands. Every room will still have its own particular sound characteristics. Any room is also shaped and decorated uniquely, and therefore remains independent regarding options for positioning loudspeakers.

  • Page 13: Distance To Back And Side Walls

    Thus, when loudspeakers are positioned too close to walls, the sound quality can be restricted. Dynaudio loudspeakers were developed to be placed free-standing, and therefore they reach their optimum performance when positioned as clear of any walls as possible.

  • Page 14: Adapting The Bass Reflex Port

    The compact models are designed to offer exceptional performance while taking up minimal space. Mini monitors will realize their optimum performance when used in conjunction with a dedicated stand (such as the Dynaudio Stands) to position them at the proper height while absorbing any resonance.

  • Page 15: Loudspeaker Toe-In

    Depending on your personal listening environment and room dimensions, the loudspeakers may be angled in towards the listening area to focus the sound radiation. This positioning will typically improve imaging and is especially recommended by Dynaudio (see Figure 5). Room and Furniture Influence The sound quality of any loudspeaker is influenced by the furniture, wall materials and other objects in the listening room.

  • Page 16: Loudspeakers For Multi-Channel Setups

    This is especially important with regards to the centre channel loudspeaker, as this is a critical aspect of any multi-channel soundstage. Dynaudio has developed various models suitable for multi-channel applications: compact and floor standing models with a matching centre channel, all optimised for use with Dynaudio active subwoofers and Dynaudio optional accessory products. Loudspeakers for Multi-channel Setups For a multi-channel setup, in addition to the two main (stereo) loudspeakers, additional channels (speakers) may be added to reproduce dialogue and surround effects.

  • Page 17: Multi-Channel Loudspeaker Setup

    4. Subwoofer (possible position) Because there are many different setup options (from 5.1 to 10.2 channel applications) and due the fact that loudspeaker positioning will also depend upon the room’s shape, please consult your Dynaudio dealer for special applications and for placement options.
  • Page 18 Any damage caused under such circumstances is not covered by the Dynaudio warranty and is easily avoided in the first place by consulting your Dynaudio dealer for advice regarding the choice of amplifier.

  • Page 19: Cleaning The Loudspeakers

    Remove dust on the woofer diaphragms with a fine furniture brush. All materials used by Dynaudio are integrated with exceptional care. By taking care of your loudspeakers, you will preserve the finish and build quality for a very long time.

  • Page 20: Warranty

    Should warranty service be required, it must be arranged for in the country of purchase by an authorised Dynaudio dealer. All performance criteria are strictly controlled. In the whole production procedure – from raw materials to the final assembly – Dynaudio thoroughly inspects all parameters along every step of way.
