Introduction

English Introduction

Dear Music Lover,

Thank you for your decision to acquire Dynaudio loudspeakers.

Every Dynaudio model features the advanced Dynaudio loudspeaker technology,

resulting in music reproduction at a very high level, making many familiar recordings a

new listening experience altogether. This advanced technology results from many years

of intense research and development, the highest quality standards in production, and

Dynaudio's enduring passion for musical truth.

Dynaudio is one of very few companies who can realize such loudspeaker concepts

through it's own in-house development and production facilities. These facilities are so

advanced and the quality control is so strict that Dynaudio is TS16949 certified.

Each loudspeaker is constructed by Dynaudio's master craftsmen in Denmark to these

high standards of quality. To realize the highest sound quality from the loudspeakers,

some areas should be addressed, as will be explored on the following pages. By

considering the tips and suggestions, you will achieve the maximum performance and

enjoyment of the loudspeaker and it's advanced musical capabilities for a long time to

come.

We wish you many years of enjoyment experiencing music,

Dynaudio

Connecting

Connecting the loudspeakers

1. Connect a two-pole (+/-) loudspeaker cable to the binding posts, located at rear of the

cabinet (see Fig. 1). The high quality, gold plated binding posts can accommodate

different connection systems:

–4.0 mm banana plugs: The pins can be put directly into the binding post without

any tightening necessary.

–Cable spades: Un-tighten the binding posts, insert the spade into the opening, and

secure the spade by tightening the posts.

–Bare wires: Un-tighten the binding posts and place the cable into the binding

posts. Tighten the posts.

Note

• With every connection system, ensure that the contact is tight and has a proper

contact area.

• Connectors with similar gold plating as binding posts will typically offer the best

results and remain corrosion-free.

• Please ensure that the positive and negative cables do not make contact with each

other. Tighten the posts, and check the contact after a few days to make sure that it

hasn’t loosened.

Connecting

2. Connect the other cable ends to the loudspeaker outputs of your switched off power

amp (see Fig. 2).

Note

Please make sure that the red marked post of the speaker is connected to the red

marked output of the amp, and the white or black marked post to the white or black

marked output accordingly.

Bi-wiring/bi-amping

Dynaudio loudspeakers feature a carefully fine-tuned cross-over, optimized using

selected parts and an advanced circuitry to achieve a truly balanced and smooth

frequency response. Therefore, dividing the frequency sections through bi-wiring or

bi-amping is neither beneficial nor optional.

Choice of loudspeaker cable

The loudspeaker cable can have an impact on sound quality. In general, quality cable

products will yield a quality result.

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.

Connecting surround speakers

When connecting a two-channel stereo system, only the right and left channels are

connected to the amplifier.

In a surround set-up, center, side or rear loudspeakers as well as a subwoofer are

typically connected to provide for a multi-channel listening experience. Please refer to the

amplifier’s owner manual for particular connection instructions and see chapter “Multi-

channel loudspeaker setup” on page 10 for further help.

Owners Manual 5

Positioning

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. The following steps

are general suggestions that will make the correct positioning easier to achieve.

General recommendations

Following explanations refer to Fig. 3:

• 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 better slightly less

than the distance between each loudspeakers 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.

CAUTION EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS

Direct sunlight or excessive brightness can affect the color of any natural wood veneer

(the structural integrity of the cabinet will not be affected).

To maintain the aesthetic quality of the loudspeakers for the long term, placing such in

very warm, very cold, or very humid environments should be avoided.

Positioning

Distance to back and side walls

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

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

original music signal. 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.

To reduce possible influences from the back and sidewalls, the distance to these

boundaries should ideally not be less than 0.5 meter.

Adapting the bass reflex port

To minimize low frequency reflections, which will be heard as a thickening of the sound,

the loudspeaker models can be adapted to the room’s acoustic character by using foam

plugs in the bass reflex port. This will essentially attenuate the room-induced boost in the

low frequency range by dampening the deep frequencies, yielding a more clear and tight

sound when the loudspeaker is positioned near rear walls.

Fully insert the foam port plugs packed with your loudspeaker into the bass reflex tube,

to attenuate the bass output (if required).

Owners Manual 7

Positioning

Floor-standing loudspeaker set-up

The floor-standing models feature a special base construction, which offers both an ideal

performance and mechanical basis. Integrated into the base plinth are four individual

spike assemblies. These stabilize the cabinet on an extremely small contact area, and

therefore prevent any wobbling while offering optimal resonance control.The individually

adjustable spikes allow leveling of the cabinet on uneven floors.

Compact loudspeaker set-up

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

minimal space. The 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.

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

of furniture. But to avoid the possibility of any negative influence on sound quality, one

should take care to utilize a stable surface offering a wide enough space in front of the

loudspeakers as to not limit the sound quality and performance. In such applications or if

placing the speakers in enclosed audio/video furniture, the bass reflex port can usually be

left unplugged as long as there is minimal clearance to the boundaries at the top and rear

of the loudspeaker cabinet.

CAUTION SPIKES WITH SHARP PEAKS

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

hardwood flooring or tile.

Be careful when handling the loudspeakers.

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