Aural Excellence

FOUNDED IN 1976, Dynaudio is wellknown in the world of audio.

The speaker boasts a ¾” MDF enclosure with a laminate Walnut finish (Black and White options are also available) that covers five sides. A flat black front baffle helps the tower visually disappear when the lights go down, especially beneficial for movie viewing. Sturdy outriggers provide stability.

The Cerotar tweeter incorporates a static, dimpled Hexis resonance control dome behind its active diaphragm, preventing rear wave reflections from interfering with the front wave. Dynaudio’s attention to tweeters capable of handling shallow crossover slopes is evident with an oversized fabric dome and a powerful ferrite + strontium carbonate ceramic magnet. Close tweeter and midrange spacing reflects the attention to driver integration. The Emit 50’s midrange, specific to this model, employs an aluminum voice coil optimized
