The Focus 220 floor-standing loudspeaker combines sleek design with exceptional performance, primarily geared towards enhancing the bass delivery through its advanced technology components. This model integrates two mid/bass drivers from the newer Esotec+ generation, ensuring dynamic power output especially in the bass frequencies. These drivers are equipped with a double-magnet motor system featuring ultra-compressed Ferrite magnets, designed to handle dramatic musical passages effortlessly, maintaining clarity and detail without compromise.
One of the standout features of the Focus 220 is its increased thermal handling capability, due to the use of large diameter aluminium voice-coils. This ensures that the drivers maintain an optimal temperature range even under conditions of high power levels or during intense musical transients. The drivers are housed in a torsionally rigid die-cast aluminium basket, which has been meticulously optimized to prevent air turbulence and resonance, thus avoiding any distortion that might detract from the audio quality.
The cones themselves are made from Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP), a material chosen for its controlled rigidity and intrinsic acoustic properties, vital for achieving the iconic Dynaudio sound. On the high-frequency end, the T 380 soft-dome tweeter takes charge, ensuring the reproduction of smooth and detailed high frequencies. This is made possible through the use of Esotec+ technology and a high-efficiency Neodymium magnet, one of the most effective yet expensive options available in loudspeaker construction. Additionally, the tweeter is securely mounted to the cabinet with a solid metal face-plate, fastened with six screws to eliminate any potential resonance, providing a stable and clear audio output.
In summary, the Focus 220 stands as a testament to Dynaudio’s commitment to producing high-fidelity sound through carefully selected materials and innovative design, making it a superior choice for audiophiles seeking a powerful yet nuanced audio experience in their home.
