Setup / Location
The oor-standing Focus XD loudspeaker features a special base construction, which offers
both an ideal performance and mechanical basis. The spikes screwed into the end of the
feet on the base can be unscrewed and their height adjusted, to adapt to uneven oors.
When the spikes are retracted, the loudspeakers stand on rubber feet. These stabilize
the cabinet on an extremely small contact area, and therefore prevent any wobbling while
offering optimal resonance control.
The best setup variant depends on the nature of the room and the oor in particular.
Your Dynaudio distributor would be happy to assist you during setup.
The compact Focus models are designed to offer exceptional performance while taking up
minimal space. Due to adverse effects to the sound quality, compact loudspeakers should
not be placed on the oor. The mini-monitors will realize their optimum performance when
used in conjunction with a stand to position them at the proper height while absorbing any
resonance. Please contact your Dynaudio distributor for more details.
Due to its dimensions, you can also place the loudspeaker on a ledge or shelf or on top of
furniture. To avoid the possibility of any negative inuence on sound quality, make sure to
utilize a stable surface offering a wide enough space in front of the loudspeakers as to not
limit the sound quality and performance.
The Focus XD loudspeakers do not require special positioning, though the quality of the
individual loudspeakers’ sound is affected by the acoustic properties of the room. Since
rooms are shaped uniquely, the positioning of the loudspeakers results in totally different
behaviour. For example, large rooms without much furniture and many clean, hard wall
surfaces can give a bright and diffuse sound with diverse echoing frequencies. A room with
thick carpet, curtains and soft furniture surfaces will give a slightly warmer, darker and less
lively sound.
The following information steps are therefore general directions that will make correct
positioning easier to achieve. Furthermore, we recommend taking advantage of the
services provided by your Dynaudio distributor to fully exploit the sound potential of your
loudspeakers in your own listening room.
The outside of the left and right loudspeakers is different, with a different arrangement of the
display (see gure above) and labelling on the rear side.
