Dynaudio Focus 50 Wireless Streaming Speakers
The world’s most advanced active wireless Hi-Fi system.
Focus 50
Focus 50 is the pinnacle of wireless Hi-Fi. All the convenience of a consumer
speaker system with all the heavyweight credentials of Dynaudio's most prestigious
Hi-Fi speakers.
Focus 50 is an active wireless stereo speaker system brimming with
connectivity. If you want to fill your room with true audiophile performance
without also filling it with cables, boxes and racks, this one is for you.
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… well, anything with Spotify or Tidal on
it. Hook up with Roon; stream via Bluetooth. You can even connect your physical
digital sources via coaxial or optical digital inputs, your analogue ones
(including turntables, 8-track machines and Edison Concert Phonographs) via
line-in or a compatible adaptor, and your networked devices via Ethernet or
Wi-Fi.
What does that mean? Effectively, that if it’s been released as a recording,
you can listen to it. All of it. And hi-res heaven is only a smartphone swipe
away.
Focus 50 is designed for living rooms, not sterile listening caves. It’s built
for those who want to share amazing sound with their loved ones (invite them
over and get them connected… but good luck getting them to leave again). That’s
why they’ve also built-in WiSA streaming. Focus 50 can connect wirelessly to your
TV (and therefore anything else connected to it) and take the place of a
hulking AV receiver/cable tangle/equipment stand combination. The only
downside? Your cat won’t be able to warm itself on the amp any more…
Simple set-up, powerful performance
they’d be amazed if it took you longer than five minutes to go from unboxing to
listening. Just plug the speakers into the mains, launch the accompanying
Dynaudio app, follow the guided set-up instructions (which gets you connected
to your network and helps you optimise your speakers), and that’s it.
Focus 50 only needs two cables: one for each power plug. That’s because its
amplifiers are built in. And not just one amplifier per speaker either – each
individual driver has its own amp, specifically tuned and optimised to work
with that exact unit. No compromising with one-size-fits-nothing amplification,
no hassle with component matching, no cables gathering dust. It’s a tailored
system.
Each speaker has three class-D amplifiers on board: one 110W unit for the
Cerotar tweeter, a 280W amp for the neodymium midrange driver, and one 280W amp
for the twin Esotec+ bass drivers (which are driven in parallel). They all come
from Dynaudio's partners at Pascal in Copenhagen – the same company they’ve worked with
to create the power plants for Dynaudio's mighty Core professional studio systems.
Peak power, you ask? A whopping 1000W. The Focus 50s – and your ears – are in
good hands.
All that power is marshalled by sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing)
technology – the same type they use in Dynaudio's Core and LYD pro ranges. During set-up
in the app, tell the speakers where they are in the room (near a wall, in a
corner or in free space) and they’ll optimise their performance for that
position. And if you (or an installer) want to take calibration to the next
level, there’s optional Dirac Live tech for total customisation.
they’ve even included custom EQ presets that take into account whether or not the
magnetic grille is installed… and you don’t have to do anything to activate
them (besides installing said grille, of course). Auto-sensing technology in
the speaker understands when the grille is on or off – and the ‘Y’-shaped light
briefly glows blue to let you know that it knows. Ingenious.
And to prevent speaker damage at high volumes, they’ve designed a custom sliding
high-pass filter that reduces woofer excursion as the level goes up. (Although
your neighbours will probably be banging on the wall long before that happens.)
Traditional Dynaudio expertise
they’re always excited to be able to use new flagship hardware across Dynaudio's range.
Focus 50 draws heavily from techniques and technologies used in Dynaudio's high-end
Contour and Confidence passive Hi-Fi families.
For example, the soft-dome Cerotar tweeter uses the Confidence’s Hexis inner
dome. It’s a clever extra part that sits just behind the playing surface to
optimise airflow and minimise unwanted resonances. Sitting behind it is a
strontium carbonate Ferrite+ magnet system to maximise sensitivity. In English,
that means sweeter, clearer treble, which is easier to listen to for much
longer.
Complementing the tweeter is a dedicated midrange driver (the only one in the
Focus range), derived from the award-winning Contour 60. It’s a 15cm unit with
a powerful neodymium magnet, a glass-fibre voice-coil former and a trademark
Dynaudio aluminium voice-coil. This fleet-footed unit uses lightweight magnet
and coil materials to give it more agility while maintaining a tight grip on
midrange frequencies. And for you, that means Contour-level performance.
Handling the bottom end is a pair of 18cm Esotec+ woofers. They use
trickle-down tech from both Confidence and Contour to deliver tight, powerful
bass. Unlike other Focus models, however, there’s a copper voice-coil sitting
inside the Ferrite+ magnet. That’s because, as a pure bass driver, this driver
doesn’t need to reproduce agile midrange tones – and so can have more moving
mass. Power and control are front and centre.
Designed for life
No gimmicks, no nonsense – just clean, stylish Danish design and craftsmanship.
From the anodised brushed aluminium cover rings around the drivers, to the
subtle Dynaudio logo atop the speaker grille, and the gently glowing light
(which changes colour to let you know what the speaker is doing) they’ve made
sure Focus 50 looks the part when sitting in a real living space.
Run your fingers over the beautiful open-grained Blonde Wood and Walnut Wood
finishes, or marvel at the glassy High Gloss Black and High Gloss White
lacquer. Take in the shape of the gently tapered cabinet. Even the backplate
has been given special treatment.
Focus 50 is the ultimate premium wireless Hi-Fi system. True audiophile quality
with all the benefits of modern digital streaming technology. It’s time to
listen to something new…
Key Features
Studio-grade performance
Focus’s amplifiers are based on the same technology Dynaudio use in their Core range of professional reference monitors – including the room-compensation algorithms. That means you can get closer than ever to what the artists heard in the studio.
Streaming marvel
If you can get it online, you can stream it to Focus 10. A royal flush of services – including Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and Roon – bring millions of hi-fi-quality tracks directly to your living room.
Classic Dynaudio drivers
From the soft-dome tweeter with Hexis, to the MSP mid/bass driver with its signature aluminium voice-coil, Focus 10 doesn’t stray from its legendary roots. Modern design, classic performance.
Danish design
Clean, elegant, contemporary and sleek. Dynaudio think speakers should be designed for the people who use them, which is why you’ll only find fine, honest materials and finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Blonde Wood and Walnut Wood.
