Put it on a shelf. On your desk. On stands. Wherever and however you use it, you¡¯re guaranteed all the performance you¡¯d expect from 45 years of audio expertise.
Xeo 10 updates and improves the outgoing Xeo 2 model with new components, new tunings and new finishes¡¦ even new packaging. Make no mistake, this is far more than just a new look.
Xeo 10: features
If you place the new Xeo 10 next to an older Xeo 2, the first thing you¡¯ll notice is the smoother, sleeker design. We¡¯ve mounted the driver to the baffle from behind – meaning no more visible screws, and given the solid aluminium front baffle a new brushed finish. The Xeo 10 is available in Black Satin (with a black baffle and grille) or White Satin (with a grey baffle and grille) finishes.
Inside the super-rigid composite cabinet you¡¯ll find a new, optimised 14cm MSP woofer and one of our signature 28mm soft-dome tweeters (a technology we¡¯ve been using since the very beginning, and which has appeared in every single high-end speaker we¡¯ve ever produced).
And since this is an active speaker, each driver has its own dedicated 65W digital amplifier. That not only means we can fine-tune each amp specifically for the driver it¡¯s powering, it means we have even greater control over the speaker¡¯s overall performance. (For more information on active vs passive speakers, click here.)
The Xeo 10 has an updated tuning with improved limiter algorithms for better high-volume performance, as well as a higher theoretical crossover point – which means the tweeter can reach deeper in its frequency range for a bigger overlap with the woofer¡¯s upper limit.
Want a translation? It means a far smoother balance between bass and treble, and also improved off-axis performance – so if even if you¡¯ve been muscled out of the the ¡®sweet spot¡¯ by your jealous friends, you can still get the full benefit of your music.
Of course, you still get everything that made the Xeo 2 an award-winner: direct inputs, touch-sensitive volume controls, and position-sensitive controls (tell the speakers if they¡¯re in free space, against a wall or in a corner and they¡¯ll adjust their performance accordingly). That¡¯s not to mention full-fat, true hi-res 24-bit/96kHz performance and compatibility with the optional Dynaudio Connect box (which gives you even more inputs, DLNA, multi-room audio and more).
And to top it off, it¡¯s specifically designed to work with the optional Dynaudio desk stand and dedicated wall-mount, as well as Vesa 100 mountings, for massive flexibility in placement.
See? It¡¯s more than just a pretty face.
