About Dynaudio
They’re all but invisible, but you’ll know they’re there. Dynaudio Custom
takes everything we know about speaker design… and tailors it just for you.
It shouldn’t be hard to get great sound. When we set out to design our custom-install
architectural speakers, we knew they had to be simple to understand, neat and easy to
install, and exible enough to work in even the most challenging listening environments.
Most importantly, our range of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers had to sound every bit
as good as our acclaimed free-standing hi- and pro-audio kit. There was no room for
compromise – and we didn’t stop until we’d nailed it.
The whole Dynaudio Custom range harnesses the same core technology, expertise
and fanatical attention to detail that’s made our hi-, professional studio and in-car
speakers so celebrated. It’s the same stuff – it’s just inside the walls instead of in front
of them.
It’s a system that works around you, too. Pick between our in-wall or in-ceiling
speakers, or even combine the two. The frames can then be pre-installed during
renovation and decorating, or retrotted into existing cavities. You can even paint their
magnetic grilles to suit your décor. And then, when it’s time, ne-tune the speakers’
positions – so everything’s exactly right, rst time.
When you hear Dynaudio Custom, you’re hearing decades of research, care and pride.
Only this time, it’s tailored just for you.

Performance series
The right t for high-res listening and distributed audio.
It’s as simple as that.
The Custom Performance series brings true Dynaudio hi-
performance to the tightest cavities in ceilings and walls.
No more having to choose between deep and shallow versions
of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers when specifying your system.
No more having to choose between performance and t. And no
more ddly install processes: just twist and lock into place.
We’ve developed ingenious ways of packing everything that
makes our speakers legendary – soft-dome tweeters, MSP drivers,
large voice-coils and powerful magnets – into a form that lets
you work around the nasty surprises you nd behind the drywall.
And the sound? Simply jaw-dropping. Naturally.
Don’t compromise. Just t, nish and enjoy.

Hair-raising quality for active listening, media rooms,
home cinema and more.
When you want audio to grab your audience, stop them in their
tracks and captivate them, you need a special-sounding system.
The Studio range is that system.
We’ve used elements taken directly from our award-winning
home hi- and pro studio products and engineered them into a
form that ts discreetly into in-wall and in-ceiling specications
without making the compromises you might nd elsewhere.
They’re a breeze to install thanks to their clever frame-locking
system, and they’re easy to ne-tune in place using their
innovative rotating speaker/tilting tweeter assembly.
Quality sound, installed where you need it – and focussed
where your client wants it.

Studio LCR
The modular custom install system that places quality
front and centre.
No stud-cutting. No restrictions. No hassle. The Custom Studio
LCR system lets you create personalised vertically or horisontally
oriented left, centre and right three-way speaker channels while
allowing simplied installation – even between stud bays.
That means you can meet exact SPL requirements with ease,
including THX and Dolby reference levels at up to 4m from the
listening area.
The system’s intelligent modular design means incredible
exibility: the S4-LCR65MT mid/tweeter and S4-LCR65W
woofer modules t around standard 16in studs (so you don’t
have to cut them away).
You can position the tweeter either way up and at any height
in the array (so the listener gets total focus). And the modules
are easily connected using speaker wire, with their frames
either connected together and installed in a single cut-out, or
spaced apart in multiple cut-outs to create a single channel.
Each module uses a passive crossover with a three-position
switch, pre-congured to typical LCR channel congurations
that use one or two connected woofer modules. There’s also
a bypass position to enable an unlimited number of fully active
and completely customized S4-LCR65 system setups with
external DSP processing and a dedicated amp channel for
every driver in each channel.
And, like the rest of the Dynaudio Custom range, all the modules
mount into their frames without any tools required.

Quality doesn’t need to stop at the door. The Outdoor
family brings Dynaudio’s trademark audio reproduction
to a new environment.
Relaxing outside is always better with music. These two-way
surface-mount speakers are IP65-rated for resistance to dust
and protection from everyday water (such as sprinklers, rain and
water-balloon ghts). They have a UV-resistant nish and they’ve
been subjected to salt-spray testing too – so they’ll stand up to
regular use whatever the weather throws at them.
The Outdoor range can be used in passive 8ohm mode, or linked
in a 70/100V system with their built-in transformers, if you want
to spread them out to a larger area.

About Dynaudio
About Dynaudio
hi- right from the start
Back in 1977 Dynaudio’s founder, Wilfried Ehrenholz, decided
that the off-the-shelf speakers available at the time weren’t
telling the whole truth. He and his colleagues started out by
putting drivers made by other companies into tweaked cabinets,
with crossovers designed and built in-house. But they still
weren’t right: it wasn’t all made in-house. And we all know there’s
only one way to get something right if no one else can do it…
But it wasn’t just a dive-straight-in job. They did their homework.
Dynaudio was reaching for the next level; a level its established
competitors – some of whom were leviathans of the hi- industry
– either couldn’t get to, or hadn’t even realised existed. The goal?
To stop picking apart frequencies and just… sit. Listen. Enjoy.
“If a musician expresses what’s in the music, when you listen
to it you aren’t analysing it, it’s just emotion,” Wilfried says.
That philosophy – that pursuit of truth through emotion –
permeates the entire company. There’s always another level
to hit. “I’m very proud that we kept all our principles from the
beginning; we didn’t have to change anything. Most concepts
we started are still valid after more than 40 years,” Wilfried says.
The drivers sit at the heart of it all. We develop and manufacture
them ourselves – right down to magnetising the magnets and
winding the voice-coils. Winding is an automated process these
days (although even the robots we built can’t escape the eagle
eyes or ears of our quality-control people), but at one point even
this was done by expert pairs of hands.
20 Dynaudio Custom Install
Page 21
We kept all our
principles from
the beginning.
Most of our voice-coils are aluminium instead of copper. It’s lighter, which lets us double
the coil diameter for any given weight. It also lets us use longer windings for longer driver
excursion and better heat dissipation. (In English, that means we have tighter control over
the sound.) Others are made from copper when we need extra power. We use the best
material for the job… which means you get the best performance we can deliver.
Most concepts
we started are still
valid after more
than 40 years.
There are some details you won’t even see – like the spider. That’s the springy piece of
material that acts as the voice-coil’s suspension. It controls how much the voice-coil
moves back and forth, and how much air there is behind the speaker cone. We’ve
improved its symmetry by measuring, simulating and, ultimately, listening. It all sits in the
basket. That’s the physical housing for the whole driver motor. We’ve spent just as much
time rening it as we have every other part of our speakers. It’s made to reduce
turbulence behind the driver, which, again, helps them sound their best.
Then there’s our signature soft-dome tweeters. We’ve been rening our designs ever
since we started the company: geometry, shape, materials, stiffness… even the precision
coating. Because Dynaudio tweeters aren’t made of metal, they have a atter, more linear
frequency response – which means more honest performance.
But, in the end, it all comes down to our people. They’re fanatical about what they do,
and they’re incredibly proud of what they produce. We hope you’ll be proud to specify
our speakers in your projects, too.

the artist who recorded the track wants you to hear. In many cases you can even draw

shines through when you’re sitting in your living room, your home cinema or even
