MISCELLANEOUS

The AIR series are unquestionably high quality products. This section puts focus on a few technical issues that adds to the perception of the products high standard.

High efficiency compact Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)

For saving overhead power consumption and to insure optimal performance disregarding the mains voltage, the unit is equipped with a high efficiency compact Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Using switched technology both in amplifiers and power supply can reduce the heat sink size to about 1/3 the size of what it would be with regular power supply and class AB amplifiers.

Power saving shut down modes

The amplifier can detect whether or not there is Input on the analog or digital line. If input is absent for more than half an hour all monitors in a network will go to sleep-mode from which they can recover automatically when signal is received. The power up time from sleep is a few hundred ms.

If Input signal is absent for more than 2½ hours the system will go into standby from which is can recover by user intervention such as touching the volume wheel on the Remote Control or by touching the Master monitor display.

Software updates

Each monitor in a setup can be software updated via Network. This is done through PC/Mac using the AIR SOFT. Follow the Software update procedure as described on www.dynaudioacoustics.com

Reset Procedures

Three different levels of “Reset” exists. For all three scenarios all connected monitors will be affected.

The following Reset procedures are accessed by holding the ENTER key on the System Controller while powering up:

Clear Monitor Settings

All global and local parameters in connected monitors are reset. Preset and network settings are not affected.

Reset all Settings

A “factory” reset procedure that deletes all global and local parameter settings as well as preset and network settings.

The following reset procedure is found in the Setup menu:

Clear Setup for entire network

Select this reset procedure to clear all network settings.

Dynaudio, a company renowned for its high-fidelity audio products, has made significant strides in the field of professional monitoring through its PPM (Professional Precision Monitoring) series. Among the standout models in this series is the Dynaudio PMN (Professional Monitoring Nearfield), which has garnered attention for its outstanding sound quality, precise technical performance, and sophisticated design.

One of the key features of the Dynaudio PMN monitors is their advanced driver technology. Equipped with proprietary drivers, the PMN series employs custom-designed woofers and tweeters that deliver an incredibly accurate frequency response. The woofers utilize a lightweight diaphragm, ensuring that low frequencies are produced with power while maintaining clarity. The tweeters, known for their soft dome design, excel in reproducing high frequencies with exquisite detail and minimal distortion, making the listening experience both immersive and enjoyable.

In terms of design, the PMN monitors boast a sleek and modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any studio environment. The cabinet construction employs advanced materials and techniques that minimize resonance, thus reducing unwanted coloration in sound. The unique curved shape of the cabinets is not only visually appealing but also supports optimal acoustic performance by enhancing sound dispersion.

Another notable characteristic of the Dynaudio PMN is its versatility. The monitors are equipped with multiple inputs, allowing for seamless integration into various set-ups, whether in a professional studio or a home listening environment. This flexibility is further complemented by adjustable bass and treble controls, empowering users to tailor the sound profile to their specific requirements.

Dynaudio has also incorporated advanced technologies such as room correction in certain PMN models, which enables precise calibration according to the acoustics of the room. This feature ensures that audio professionals can rely on consistent and accurate sound reproduction regardless of their monitoring environment.

Overall, the Dynaudio PMN series represents a blend of pioneering audio technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and user-focused design. For professionals seeking precise monitoring solutions for music production, film scoring, or any audio-related projects, the Dynaudio PMN monitors provide an exceptional listening experience that stands the test of time. With their stellar performance and innovative features, these monitors have become a top choice for sound engineers, musicians, and audio enthusiasts alike.
