Multi-Channel Setup

The Dynaudio Focus models are designed to offer the most advanced performance in both stereo and multi-channel applications. When connecting a loudspeaker to a multi- channel setup, in general the same guidelines as mentioned in the text above will apply.

Note

When setting up a home theatre system, the loudspeakers should create a realistic soundstage with similar sound characteristics on each channel. It is therefore important that any speaker used in conjunction with the Focus models should match their high quality level. This is especially important with regards to the center channel loudspeaker, as this is critical aspect of any multi-channel soundstage.

Dynaudio has developed various loudspeaker models suitable for multi-channel applications: Compact and floor standing loudspeakers with a matching center channel, all optimized for use with Dynaudio active subwoofers and optional Dynaudio accessory products.

Loudspeakers for multi-channel setups

For a multi-channel setup, in addition to the two main (stereo) loudspeakers, additional channels (speakers) may be added to reproduce dialogue and surround effects. With the Focus center channel and compact models, it is possible to achieve the same high level of performance and sound on every channel.

Center speaker

The center is responsible for the information directed from the middle of the screen and should be positioned between the right and left main loudspeakers.

In a home theater/surround setup, the center supports the images and should be placed as close as possible to the screen. The Focus 200 C center model is magnetically shielded and therefore can be placed near TV sets or other sensitive electronics without any affects or influence on the picture. With various surround formats, such as Dolby Digital EX or DTS ES, the Focus Center can also be utilized as a rear center channel.
