Audience 52 SE

Audience 52 SE

The Dynaudio Audience 52 SE is a fine-tuned Special Edition compact loudspeaker model keeping with Dynaudio's longstanding tradition of such.

Based on the acclaimed model Audience 52, and conceived originally as the 52 SE to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Stereoplay magazine, this special model sets the standards in music reproduction in its size and price range through further improvements to the stellar model from which it is derived.

The 52 SE features a Dynaudio Esotec tweeter with an improved magnet system, an optimised back chamber geometry, and a specially coated soft dome diaphragm . The powerful mid/woofer is sourced directly from the venerable Dynaudio model Contour 1.3 mk II, and utilizes a large diameter aluminum voice coil and rigid die cast frame.

An improved crossover has been designed and developed to integrate the drivers into the Audience 52 cabinet, which itself is extensively braced and damped to combat resonance while being luxuriously finished in a choice of four natural wood veneers.
