In the studio, all attention concentrates on the artist. Nothing less than a perfect rendition of his or her vision, shaped by voice and tone is demanded. It is obvious that all energy spent at this stage is fully justified as at the end of the recording session, after going through various stages of mixing and editing, we finally have an album by the artist that will enthral fans around the world.
This necessitated developing loudspeakers of an audiophile pedigree which, through innovation and the involvement of dedicated master craftsmen, would achieve a higher level of performance and be commended by both artists and recording engineers alike.
As a superior brand, Dynaudio strives to achieve the same level of perfection, exemplified by the ever-lasting drive for constant improvement. In this manner, Dynaudio contributes its part to the daily sessions in the finest recording studios around the world, touching music lovers through their favourite artists.
The Digital AIR Range
The Dynaudio Acoustics Air range goes a fundamental step further than any other concept in the conventional monitor world; both in terms of sound performance characteristics and in the way it functions and operates.
Communicating through an extremely intelligent network topology, all individual Air components in a system can communicate with each other, thus allowing for solutions that will simply amaze even the most demanding engineer.
All components within an AIR system are connected through a special proprietary linking system: the TC Link network. Besides control signals, it allows the transfer of audio signals as well. This offers the possibility of adjusting a multi-channel system from the listening position through the sophisticated remote control: the AIR Remote or AIR Soft.
In combination with intelligent circuitry for each monitor and subwoofer this function offers many extraordinary features and possibilities for the renowned AIR range.
BM 5A Compact
Compact active studio monitor
The BM 5A Compact is an extremely small yet very powerful speaker for post and broadcast production.
Dynaudio Acoustics have gone to great length to ensure massive power and superior sound quality in combination with serious space restrictions, and novel research have made it possible to fit loads of power and quality into a very minute cabinet, defeating what was previously deemed impossible.
That effort now gives audio professionals an extremely compact nearfield monitor with uncompromising acoustic qualities, and fills an important gap in the broadcast and post production industry, where space often is the determining factor for installations.
The BM 5A Compact is a great solution for the space problems that remote broadcast trucks/OB Vans and tight editing bays have to deal with.
BM5A
Two-way Active Nearfield Monitor
This high-performance monitor comes in a very compact design and it is extremely well suited for production environments where space is a concern. The BM 5A is well suited for music monitoring and mixing, broadcasting, OB vans, edit suites, playback suites, project studios and smaller post production facilities.
The small size in combination with the renowned Dynaudio Acoustics performance makes the BM 5A suitable for smaller 5.1 productions. When space is limited, the combination of the BM 5A with the BM 10S will deliver a full-blown 5.1 system with a remarkable performance, most often only known from larger setups.
BM 6A
Powerful near-field in compact package
Applications for the BM 6A cover every aspect of sound engineering and reproduction, including music and speech monitoring and mixing, radio station, OB vehicles, edit suites, post production, recording studios and playback rooms.
