Uncompromising Audio Quality
When our engineers were developing the Focus XD loudspeakers, they sought to create an active, digital speaker that matched the Dynaudio vision: reproducing sound as it was recorded. These speakers had to deliver high-resolution 24bit / 192kHz uncompromising audio quality.

To do so, they decided to transmit the signal losslessly from the source to the latest possible step in the chain - just before the drivers - without any analog conversion.
"I had never heard that before"
And their approach (the brilliant engineers that is) paid off. They created a loudspeaker that managed to surprise not only themselves but everyone at Dynaudio: "When our engineers presented the Focus 200 XD at an early stage in the development process, I was sitting there, unable to believe what I heard. The orchestra was playing in the widths and depths like it was real. I had never heard that before," said Wilfried Erhenholz, Founder.
The team of engineers matched each of the Focus XDs' drivers with its own digital amplifier (each driver has 150W power). And, the entire system has been fine-tuned using state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (which is usually shortened to the more colloquial DSP) to ensure the impressive sound reproduction is always delivered with precision and harmony - no matter the instrument.

But, the heart of any well-produced loudspeaker will always be the drivers. As you probably know, we develop and manufacture our own drivers right here in Skanderborg, Denmark.

The Focus XD uses these handcrafted drivers as well - Esotec+ tweeters and drivers to be exact. These drivers use time-tested Dynaudio technologies: light-weight aluminium voice-coils, our proprietary Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) diaphragms, silk fabric tweeter domes with Precision Coating, and rear-vented low resonance die-cast aluminium driver baskets.
You can also make the Focus XD loudspeaker system wireless by adding the Dynaudio Connect. Now, you can enjoy 24bit / 96kHz straight from your mobile device (and a long list of other devices) or create up to three multiroom zones.
