Multi-Channel Setup
Multi-Channel Setup
The Dynaudio Focus models are designed to offer the most advanced performance in
both stereo and multi-channel applications. When connecting a loudspeaker to a multi-
channel setup, in general the same guidelines as mentioned in the text above will apply.
Note
When setting up a home theatre system, the loudspeakers should create a realistic
soundstage with similar sound characteristics on each channel. It is therefore important
that any speaker used in conjunction with the Focus models should match their high
quality level. This is especially important with regards to the center channel loudspeaker,
as this is critical aspect of any multi-channel soundstage.
Dynaudio has developed various
loudspeaker models suitable for multi-channel
applications: Compact and floor standing loudspeakers with a matching center
channel, all optimized for use with Dynaudio active subwoofers and
optional Dynaudio
accessory prod
ucts.
Loudspeakers for multi-channel setups
For a multi-channel setup, in addition to the two main (stereo) loudspeakers, additional
channels (speakers) may be added to reproduce dialogue and surround effects. With the
Focus center channel and compact models, it is possible to achieve the same high level
of performance and sound on every channel.
Center speaker
The center is responsible for the information directed from the middle of the screen and
should be positioned between the right and left main loudspeakers.
In a home theater/surround setup, the center supports the images and should be placed
as close as possible to the screen. The Focus 200 C center model is magnetically
shielded and therefore can be placed near TV sets or other sensitive electronics without
any affects or influence on the picture. With various surround formats, such as Dolby
Digital EX or DTS ES, the Focus Center can also be utilized as a rear center channel.
