Special Forty

Special Forty is the connoisseur’s
choice, harnessing decades of research,
development and manufacturing expertise.

But laurels aren’t for resting on, which is why we’ve revisited some

of our legendary technologies – the Esotar tweeter, our celebrated

17cm woofer and our classic rst-order crossover – and made

them even better (sometimes we surprise even ourselves).

We didn’t create the Special Forty to celebrate Dynaudio.

We did it to celebrate music.

The Special Forty anniversary speaker is classic Dynaudio:
all the craftsmanship, attention to detail and total love
of authentic sound you’ve come to expect – plus some
cutting-edge innovation.

Subject to change without notice

This wouldn’t be an anniversary speaker
if it didn’t include some of our greatest
hits. But we haven’t just got the old band
back together: we’ve remixed, remastered
and rearranged things to bring those old
favourites into 2017 – and beyond.

The Esotar Forty tweeter

Totally new, totally exclusive to the Special Forty… and totally

amazing. In the Esotar Forty soft-dome tweeter, the team in

Dynaudio Labs have tweaked airow, lowered the resonant

frequency and minimised distortion. Meanwhile, the DSR

(Dynaudio Secret Recipe) precision coating nesses the

diaphragm’s performance without letting its transient response

waver or compress. It’s our birthday present to ourselves (and you).

Our best-ever 17cm woofer

We don’t believe in ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t x it’ philosophy. If we

did, nothing would ever be improved. We’ve been making great

17cm woofers for years – but that’s no reason not to tinker,

so we decided to see if we could do even better. And we

succeeded: the Special Forty driver has an improved spider,

optimised symmetry and a new, higher-grade neodymium

magnet for an even clearer, more honest performance.

Seamless driver overlap

We’ve used classic Dynaudio rst-order crossover techniques

and ramped-up our unique Phase Alignment and Impedance

Alignment technologies. Specically selected components

handle the impedance optimisation and, because both drivers

have extended frequency ranges for even better overlap and

integration, their performance borders on the mesmerising.

Harnessing nature

The woofer and Esotar Forty tweeter both take airow to another

level with new pressure conduits, shaped vents, optimised

baskets and more – all serving to reduce unwanted pressure

build-up and resonances. The woofer’s hybrid motor system,

meanwhile, carefully manipulates magnetic ux for more

power, less weight and far more controlled sound.
