Focus 50 is perhaps the world’s most advanced active wireless hi-fi system. It combines the convenience of a consumer speaker system with the heavyweight credentials of prestigious hi-fi speakers, making it the pinnacle of wireless hi-fi. This active wireless stereo speaker system offers extensive connectivity, allowing you to fill your room with true audiophile performance without cluttering it with cables, boxes, and racks.
You can connect over the air via Apple AirPlay 2 from your MacBook, iPad, or iPhone, with Google Chromecast from your Android phone, tablet, or Chromebook, using Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect from virtually any device with those apps. Additionally, you can hook up with Roon, stream via Bluetooth, and connect your physical digital sources via coaxial or optical digital inputs. Analogue sources, including turntables, 8-track machines, and Edison Concert Phonographs, can be connected via line-in or a compatible adaptor, and networked devices can be connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Effectively, if a recording exists, you can listen to it on Focus 50. Hi-res heaven is only a smartphone swipe away. Designed for living rooms rather than sterile listening caves, Focus 50 is built for those who want to share amazing sound with their loved ones. It even includes WiSA streaming, allowing it to connect wirelessly to your TV and replace a hulking AV receiver/cable tangle/equipment stand combination. The only downside? Your cat won’t be able to warm itself on the amp anymore.
Setting up Focus 50 is simple and powerful. It won't take more than five minutes to go from unboxing to listening. Just plug the speakers into the mains, launch the accompanying Dynaudio app, and follow the guided set-up instructions to connect to your network and optimize your speakers. Each speaker only needs one power plug since the amplifiers are built-in. Each driver has its own specifically tuned and optimized amp, eliminating the need for one-size-fits-nothing amplification or component matching. It's a tailored system.
Each speaker includes three class-D amplifiers: a 110W unit for the Cerotar tweeter, a 280W amp for the neodymium midrange driver, and a 280W amp for the twin Esotec+ bass drivers. These amplifiers come from Pascal in Copenhagen, the same company that created the power plants for Dynaudio's mighty Core professional studio systems. Peak power is a whopping 1000W, ensuring that the Focus 50s – and your ears – are in good hands.
Sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology ensures optimal performance based on speaker placement in the room. Optional Dirac Live tech allows for total customization if you want to take calibration to the next level. Custom EQ presets even account for whether or not the magnetic grille is installed, with auto-sensing technology that activates the presets automatically. Additionally, a custom sliding high-pass filter prevents speaker damage at high volumes.
Focus 50 draws heavily from techniques and technologies used in Dynaudio's high-end Contour and Confidence passive hi-fi families. For instance, the soft-dome Cerotar tweeter uses the Confidence’s Hexis inner dome to optimize airflow and minimize unwanted resonances, resulting in sweeter, clearer treble. The midrange driver, derived from the award-winning Contour 60, provides Contour-level performance, and the pair of 18cm Esotec+ woofers deliver tight, powerful bass with trickle-down tech from both Confidence and Contour.
No gimmicks, no nonsense – Focus 50 exemplifies clean, stylish Danish design and craftsmanship. From the anodized brushed aluminum cover rings around the drivers to the subtle Dynaudio logo on the speaker grille and a gently glowing light that changes color based on the speaker's activity, Focus 50 looks the part in a real living space. The beautiful finishes, including open-grained Blonde Wood and Walnut Wood, and the glossy High Gloss Black and High Gloss White lacquer, add to its aesthetic appeal.
Focus 50 is the ultimate premium wireless hi-fi system, offering true audiophile quality with the benefits of modern digital streaming technology. It’s time to listen to something new.
