Floor-standing loudspeaker set-up

The floor-standing Focus 220 features a special base construction, which offers both an ideal performance and mechanical basis. Integrated into the base plinth are four individual spike assemblies. These stabilize the cabinet on an extremely small contact area, and therefore prevent any wobbling while offering optimal resonance control.The individually adjustable spikes allow leveling of the cabinet on uneven floors.

CAUTION SPIKES WITH SHARP PEAKS

The sharp peaks of the spikes may cause injuries and damage sensitive surfaces like hardwood flooring or tile.

XBe careful when handling the loudspeakers.

XPlace plates between the spikes and the surface to protect the underlying surface. (Note: The spike will not destroy a carpet surface.)

Compact loudspeaker set-up

The compact Focus models are designed to offer exceptional performance while taking up minimal space. The mini-monitors will realize their optimum performance when used in conjunction with a dedicated stand (such as the Dynaudio Stands) to position them at the proper height while absorbing any resonance.

Due to its dimensions, you can also place the loudspeaker on a ledge or shelf or on top of furniture. But to avoid the possibility of any negative influence on sound quality, one should take care to utilize a stable surface offering a wide enough space in front of the loudspeakers as to not limit the sound quality and performance. In such applications or if placing the speakers in enclosed audio/video furniture, the bass reflex port can usually be left unplugged as long as there is minimal clearance to the boundaries at the top and rear of the loudspeaker cabinet, as the speakers will measure and perform as would a front ported version due to the specific tuning of the drivers.
