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 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 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.

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.

the rear bass reﬂex port (if provided with your loudspeaker model).

While the ampliﬁer is switched o, connect each loudspeaker to the ampliﬁer with the speaker cable. Turn the

volume level all the way down and power the ampliﬁer on.

4. Listening

The loudspeaker is now ready to play. Optimal performance will only be realised after careful positioning and

running in the speakers as described over the course of the following pages. Enjoy your new Dynaudio

About this guide 9

Connecting the loudspeakers

Figure 1: Binding posts at rear of cabinet (example)

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

high quality, gold plated binding posts can accommodate dierent connection systems:

▪4.0 mm banana plugs: The pins can be put directly into the binding post without any tightening necessary.

▪Cable spades: Untighten the binding posts, insert the spade into the opening, and secure the spade by tightening the

posts.

▪Bare wires: Untighten 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 oer 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.
