Safety

Instructions

High sound pressure levels

Listening to high sound pressure levels over a longer period

of time may harm your hearing.

Dangerous electrical voltage

If the loudspeakers are connected to the mains voltage,

a dangerous electrical voltage is present inside the speakers.

To avoid auditory effect, do not listen to high sound levels over a longer period of time.

Never open the loudspeaker housing.

Do not operate defective loudspeakers and disconnect defective loudspeakers from

the mains voltage. Please contact your Dynaudio distributor if you have any problems.

Distributor addresses can be found in the Internet at www.dynaudio.com.

Use the supplied power cable to connect the loudspeakers to the mains voltage. Make

sure that the power supply cable is not damaged; exchange it for a new one if it has

been damaged.

Spikes with sharp peaks

The oor-standing Focus 400 XD and Focus 600 XD loudspeakers allow for set-up with

spikes. The sharp peaks of the spikes may cause injuries and damage sensitive surfaces

like hardwood ooring or tile.

Be careful when handling the loudspeakers.

Place plates between the spikes and the surface to protect the underlying surface.

ATTENTION

Light, heat, electromagnetic radiation

Direct sunlight or excessive brightness can affect the color of your loudspeakers’ natural

wood veneer. Built-up heat can lead to overheating. Electromagnetic radiation of different

devices can lead to mutual impairment to functions.

Avoid placing the device in very warm, cold, or humid environments.

To maintain the aesthetic quality of your loudspeakers for the long term,

placement in light-intensive, sunny environments should be avoided.

Please ensure sufcient ventilation and observe the required distances around

the loudspeakers.

Do not place the loudspeakers near devices with strong electromagnetic radiation

or devices that could be destroyed or damaged by magnetic elds.

Owner's Manual Focus XD

The oor-standing Focus XD loudspeaker features a special base construction, which offers

both an ideal performance and mechanical basis. The spikes screwed into the end of the

feet on the base can be unscrewed and their height adjusted, to adapt to uneven oors.

When the spikes are retracted, the loudspeakers stand on rubber feet. These stabilize

the cabinet on an extremely small contact area, and therefore prevent any wobbling while

offering optimal resonance control.

The best set-up variant depends on the nature of the room and the oor in particular.

Your Dynaudio distributor would be happy to assist you during set-up.

The compact Focus models are designed to offer exceptional performance while taking up

minimal space. Due to adverse effects to the sound quality, compact loudspeakers should

not be placed on the oor. The mini-monitors will realize their optimum performance when

used in conjunction with a stand to position them at the proper height while absorbing any

resonance. Please contact your Dynaudio distributor for more details.

Due to its dimensions, you can also place the loudspeaker on a ledge or shelf or on top

of furniture. To avoid the possibility of any negative inuence on sound quality, make sure

to utilize a stable surface offering a wide enough space in front of the loudspeakers as to

not limit the sound quality and performance.

Set Up / Location

The Focus XD loudspeakers do not require special positioning, though the quality of the

individual soundspeakers' sound is affected by the acoustic properties of the room. Since

rooms are shaped uniquely, the positioning of the loudspeakers results in totally different

behavior. For example, large rooms without much furniture and many clean, hard wall

surfaces can give a bright and diffuse sound with diverse echoing frequencies. A room with

thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will give a slightly warmer, darker and less

lively sound.

The following information steps are therefore general directions that will make correct

positioning easier to achieve. Furthermore, we recommend taking advantage of the

services provided by your Dynaudio distributor to fully exploit the sound potential of your

loudspeakers in your own listening room.

The outside of the left and right loudspeakers is different, with a different arrangement of the

display (see gure above) and labeling on the rear side.

Position the loudspeakers in the desired location.

P10

Every loudspeaker not only disperses sound energy directly into the room, but also to

the side and even backwards. As a result, time-delayed reections occur and add to the

original music signal. Thus, when loudspeakers are positioned too close to walls, the

sound quality can be restricted. Focus XD loudspeakers were developed to be placed

free-standing, and therefore they reach their optimum performance when positioned as

clear of any walls as possible.

To reduce possible inuences from the back and sidewalls, the distance to these

boundaries should ideally not be less than 0.5 meter.

Adjust the sound of your loudspeakers (see page 18).

• The distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position should be the same

(B). Try to achieve an isosceles triangle.

• The distance between the loudspeakers should be the same or, preferably, slightly less

than the distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position (A, B).

• The closer the listening position is in relation to the loudspeakers, the closer the

speakers can be positioned to each other.

• As a starting point, it is recommended that the speakers be about 2 meters apart from

each other for the best results (A).

• If the speakers are positioned too close to each other, the stereo image will not seem

realistic; if that distance is too wide, the image may leave an acoustic hole in the middle.

• Paying attention to the image during listening tests will help dictate optimum placement

during experimentation and set-up.
