A new way to listen
‘Active’ doesn’t mean one single amplifier per speaker. It means one single amplifier per driver. For Focus 10, that means two each. Why an amp for each individual tweeter and mid/bass unit? Because that gives us more control over their performance. And that means each driver sounds as good as it possibly can, with no compromise.
It’s all kept in check with sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) tech. We took all the lessons we learned while creating our award-winning Focus XD, Xeo, LYD and Core ranges and produced a system that’s as effective as it is simple to use. Tell the speakers where they are in your room (near a wall, in a corner or in free space) by choosing the appropriate option in the Dynaudio app, and they’ll optimise their performance for that position. If you want to delve deeper into calibration there’s optional Dirac Live technology for completely bespoke results.
Even the magnetic grille is smart. Focus 10 has specific EQ settings for when it’s in use or not (you’ll know it’s doing its thing when you see the light glow blue briefly).
There’s brawn to go with the brains, too. With a total of 390W of class-D Pascal amplification under the hood in each speaker (110W for the tweeter and 280W for the woofer), Focus 10 is primed and ready to fill even a midsize room with high-quality sound. In fact, we’d say they pack more punch than a speaker of their size has any right to.
There’s even an automatic failsafe system to ensure the speakers aren’t damaged when cranked to neighbour-bothering levels: a bespoke sliding high-pass filter reduces woofer excursion as the volume rises. Clever.
