Focus
The new Focus sounds more open and transparent, more detailed and dynamic and
more precise than ever before.
While always maintaining the refined natural balance and homogenous sound quality for
which Dynaudio is so renowned.
Dynaudio’s 35 years of experience in loudspeaker design and engineering are reflected
in the new Focus series. The company’s exclusive midrange drivers and woofers with their
distinctive Magnesium-Silicate-Polymer cone diaphragms and ultra-light aluminum voice
coils, as well as the renowned soft dome tweeters with their specially coated domes were
prominent innovations featured in the very first Dynaudio loudspeakers. Dynaudio’s sophisticated
loudspeaker technologies have been further refined and continuously improved by
the loudspeaker specialists in Skanderborg, Denmark, for over three decades now ?and as
such, fine-tuned to perfection.
The latest Dynaudio driver unit generation is introduced in the new Focus models: Newly
developed woofers with improved voice coil and spider assemblies, stronger magnets, optimized
die-cast aluminum driver baskets, and soft dome tweeters featuring a new, improved
precision coating; synergistically united via further-refined crossover designs and housed in
an improved cabinet construction. Each model is ennobled with one of four furniture-grade
real wood veneer or two gloss-piano lacquer finishes.
The overall result: The Dynaudio Focus series not only sounds but looks better than ever
before while featuring the most advanced loudspeaker technology and performance in its
class, with each and every model delivering a new, higher level of sound quality.
The new Focus. All musical details, each
diminutive note, every fine sound ?with the
new Focus series you can experience high
end audio on a higher level.
160
Even this most compact model of the Focus series incorporates Dynaudio’s legendary soft
dome tweeter, whose topology now features a vastly improved precision coating, and an
enhanced MSP mid/woofer equipped with a new voice coil assembly featuring new black
Kapton?formers and new die-cast aluminum frame baskets.
The drive units have been perfectly matched with phase optimized 1st order crossovers featuring
the highest quality components. The cabinet construction has been improved for lower resonance
and greater rigidity and enables an even better performance of the woofer. The Focus 160, especially
in medium to smaller sized rooms, positioned on the optional Dynaudio Stand4 for example,
amazes with incredible speed, excellent micro-dynamics, natural musicality, a wide open soundstage
and an exceptionally precise and homogenous sonic performance down to the lower bass.

fine example and justification for this acclaim.
260
The Focus 260 features a dual mid/bass driver complement, comprised of two MSP mid/
woofers equipped with the advanced new black Kapton?voice coil formers and die-cast
aluminum driver baskets, built into a relatively large cabinet volume.
A perfect sonic integration with the Dynaudio soft dome tweeter, which features the new Precision
Coating, is achieved via the high-grade high-performance 1st order crossover. Due to the relatively
slim cabinet, which stands less than 1 meter tall, an ideal sound radiation is ensured ?even at
short listening distances. The Focus 260 thus combines the same excellent speed, expansive
soundstage, incredibly natural musicality and extremely accurate and homogenous balance of
the compact Focus 160 with added low-bass dynamics and presence, and is perfectly suited for
medium to larger sized rooms.

Thanks to the dedicated midrange drive unit, the midrange exhibits improved resolution
and accuracy, while the soft dome tweeter and the midrange and bass drivers each can
realize the optimum performance possible within their characteristic frequency ranges.
The woofer and mid/range diaphragms are comprised of the MSP material developed by
Dynaudio, and achieve a perfect sonic integration via the finely-tuned and phase-consistent
high-grade crossover. The dual 18 cm woofers have been developed especially for the Focus 340
and feature extra-large cone surfaces, the new black Kapton?voice coil formers and rigid diecast
aluminum baskets, all housed in an ultra-rigid cabinet construction. The result is an
impressive floor-standing loudspeaker with an incredibly dynamic, fast, accurate and open
sonic performance, mated to a deep, powerful yet extremely precise bass response.

Focus 340. The Focus 340 offers more of everything.
380
Two extra-large 20 cm woofers featuring ultra-rigid die-cast aluminum baskets operate in
tandem in a large cabinet volume to guarantee the utmost deep bass extension and low
frequency performance.
Especially in larger rooms, a precise balance between high, mid and low frequency ranges
is imperative ?and the Focus 380 is ideally suited for this task. The mid/woofer and woofer
cones utilize the proprietary MSP material in order to achieve a seamless sonic integration,
while Dynaudio’s finest soft dome tweeter design is employed to reproduce the high frequencies:
The Esotar2. The overall musical performance is stunning: The Focus 380 is rich in detail, high in
resolution but smooth in the high frequencies; open and precise in the midrange, and powerful
and absolutely rock-solid in the bass and low bass registers: a loudspeaker for every room and
any style of music.

210 C
The Focus 210 C center channel loudspeaker is thus equipped with the same high-quality
Dynaudio soft dome tweeters and MSP mid/bass drivers in order to ideally complement the
Focus models. Thus the same high level of sound quality as the main left/right channel
loudspeakers is maintained to create an evenly balanced, accurately realistic and audibly
cohesive soundstage across the video screen.
The Focus 210 C crossover and cabinet quality is also built to the same high standards ?as this
is critically important to achieve a neutral, detailed and natural reproduction of the midrange.
Dual mid/bass drivers are employed in parallel to attain an accurate roll-off in the bass. The
Focus 210 C thus not only exhibits an excellent midrange quality for reproducing voices naturally,
but remains precisely balanced even in the upper and lower bass registers. For a slightly angled
directional placement, for example when positioned on a sideboard or on shelving above or
below a video monitor, the optional Dynaudio Center Base and Center Base2 angled center
channel plinths are available.
∙ Coated 28 mm soft dome tweeter with Precision Coating for natural, clean and clear highs
∙ Two 15 cm MSP mid/woofers with 75 mm voice coils for deep, precise bass down to 40 Hz
∙ Aluminum wire voice coil on new black Kapton?coil former for increased power handling
∙ New slim-line die-cast aluminum baskets for increased rigidity and lower resonance
∙ 1st order crossover with 6 dB slope for perfectly linear phase coherence
∙ Highest quality crossover components for absolute sound neutrality
∙ Optional: Dynaudio Center Base or Center Base2 plinth for angled directivity into the listening area
Focus 210 C. Any home theater system is only as
good as its center channel loudspeaker allows, as
the center is the heart of the system.
The distinctive Dynaudio center magnet system is the heart
of this high performance driver system. With the magnet
positioned inside the voice coil, a larger and more homogenous
magnetic field can be effectively utilized. A second major
Dynaudio driver innovation is the use of pure aluminum wire
for the voice coil. In comparison to the more commonly used
and much heavier copper alternative, aluminum allows for
extra-ordinarily large diameter coils that remain extremely
light. By using aluminum, it is possible to effectively double
the coil’s diameter without increasing its mass.
Dynaudio has developed a new generation of further improved
drivers for the new Focus models. The voice coil former is now
made of black Kapton? This advanced material is non-magnetic,
temperature stable and very stiff, yet still extremely lightweight. In
its latest generation, black Kapton?now yields an even stronger
coil former in order to enable the voice coil to consistently perform
under ideal conditions, perfectly controlling every driver movement,
even when playing music rich in dynamics or at higher volume
levels.
The complete coil-former construction in affixed to the customary
Dynaudio driver diaphragm made from Magnesium Silicate Polymer,
a material that combines low mass, high rigidity, and ideal internal
damping properties. Formed in a special manufacturing process,
this membrane is a unique design with a geometrically optimized
shape further enabling smooth sound radiation and an ideal breakup
pattern.
Combined with more powerful new magnets and an improved
spider material which enables a more linear cone excursion, this
results in an extremely precise, incredibly fast and completely
accurate woofer movement for exact music reproduction ?even
at higher volumes.
Remarkable dynamics, accuracy
and improved power handling: the
new Focus woofers with lightweight
aluminum wire voice coil and new
black Kapton?coil former and more
powerful magnets.
The best material for a loudspeaker’s tweeter is experience:
Dynaudio has relied on soft-dome tweeters for recreating high
frequencies since the company was founded, continuously
improving and perfecting the soft-dome principle over the
years. Dynaudio tweeter designs require a time-consuming
and labor-intensive process where the fine fabric diaphragm
is shaped into a dome and then is precisely treated with a
specially formulated coating.
For the new Focus series tweeters, the Dynaudio engineers have
further optimized this coating process. With the new Precision
Coating, the coating is now applied even more accurately than
previously possible, which enables a perfectly shaped, perfectly
coated soft dome. This yields an even smoother sound and ideal
radiation over the tweeter’s entire frequency spectrum, and ultimately
an even better reproduction of the finest audible details.
Over the years, Dynaudio has also continuously improved the heart
of the tweeter: A powerful, large magnet system mated to a fine,
extremely lightweight voice coil made of pure aluminum wire. As a
further refinement, the coil is suspended in Ferrofluid, a magnetic
oil. Ferrofluid works like a subtle shock absorber and eliminates
excess energy. The frequency range of the Dynaudio tweeter can
thus be expanded while the frequency response remains smooth
and linear, delivering the highest resolution and most neutral sonic
reproduction.
The result is the celebrated Dynaudio soft dome tweeter, which,
thanks to its incomparable performance, is commonly regarded
as one of the very best transducers in the world.
A greater level of resolution, detail
and high frequency silkiness: The
new Focus soft dome tweeter with
improved Precision Coating.
