Introduction

Dear Music Lover,

Thank you for your decision to acquire Dynaudio loudspeakers.
Every Dynaudio model features the advanced Dynaudio loudspeaker technology,

resulting in music reproduction at a very high level, making many familiar recordings a
new listening experience altogether. This advanced technology results from many years
of intense research and development, the highest quality standards in production, and
Dynaudio's enduring passion for musical truth.

Dynaudio is one of very few companies who can realize such loudspeaker concepts
through it's own in-house development and production facilities. These facilities are so
advanced and the quality control is so strict that Dynaudio is TS16949 certified.

Each loudspeaker is constructed by Dynaudio's master craftsmen in Denmark to these
high standards of quality. To realize the highest sound quality from the loudspeakers,
some areas should be addressed, as will be explored on the following pages. By
considering the tips and suggestions, you will achieve the maximum performance and
enjoyment of the loudspeaker and it's advanced musical capabilities for a long time to
come.

We wish you many years of enjoyment experiencing music,
Dynaudio

Connecting the loudspeakers

1. Connect a two-pole (+/-) loudspeaker cable to the binding posts, located at rear of the

cabinet (see Fig. 1). The high quality, gold plated binding posts can accommodate
different connection systems:

– 4.0 mm banana plugs: The pins can be put directly into the binding post without

any tightening necessary.

– Cable spades: Un-tighten the binding posts, insert the spade into the opening, and

secure the spade by tightening the posts.

– Bare wires: Un-tighten the binding posts and place the cable into the binding

posts. Tighten the posts.

Note

• With every connection system, ensure that the contact is tight and has a proper
contact area.

• Connectors with similar gold plating as binding posts will typically offer the best
results and remain corrosion-free.

• Please ensure that the positive and negative cables do not make contact with each
other. Tighten the posts, and check the contact after a few days to make sure that it
hasn’t loosened.
