• Studio Series speakers are uniquely simple to install. Once
a ceiling or wall cut-out is created, no tools are required
and installation can be completed by one person without
assistance. Every element of the Studio Series installation
procedure, from unpacking the speakers to painting and
tting the magnetic grilles is simplied and streamlined by
design.

• Studio Series speakers employ numerous Dynaudio speaker
technologies, borrowed from the company’s recording
studio monitors and high-end hi- speakers, to bring
genuinely high performance audio to custom installations:
unique bass/mid drivers with large diameter aluminium voice
coils and nite element optimised high-power, low-distortion
magnet systems, proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate
Polymer) diaphragms, and precision coated soft dome
tweeters with powerful neodymium magnet systems are just
a few examples among many.

• Studio Series in-ceiling speakers incorporate 18° angled,
360° rotatable bass/mid drivers, and three position,
adjustable tilt tweeters to enable their acoustic directivity to
be optimised for the installation arrangement and acoustic
character of the listening room.

• The S4-DVC65 in-ceiling speaker incorporates twin
tweeters and a dual voice-coil bass/mid driver that enable
it to reproduce both channels of stereo programme
material. The twin tweeters of the S4-DVC65 can also be
switched to opposite polarity to enable its use as a dipole
mode surround speaker in multi-channel home theatre
installations. When used in dipole mode the S4-DVC65
should be connected to only one amplier channel.

Studio Series speakers comprise a Speaker Unit and Installation
Frame. The Installation Frame is inserted into the ceiling or wall
cut-out and securely xed in place using auto-locking clamps.
The Speaker Unit is then connected to the speaker cables before
being inserted into the Installation Frame to be held in place by a
latch system. The grille is then tted, securely attached by magnets
integrated within the Installation Frame.
