I am a huge fan of how dedicated your company is to giving the absolute best sound experience possible. The better one understands what goes into producing great sound, the more you can admire the quality of the products that you make. Keep the videos going and thanks for your commitment to excellence.
Thank you so much Deb, we're really appreciating your sweet words and feedback. We will keep pushing and getting our experience and knowledge out there! Have a great week 😊 // Lilli
What a coincidence! I just got back from an authorised dealer of Dynaudio here in Singapore and received a brochure of the new Contour series. I was reading the specs and wondered what 2nd order crossover meant, surprised you guys would answer the very same day with a video. Haha! Anyway, loved videos from Roland Hoffman and Otto Jørgensen. Sometimes searching for answers online through opinions could be damaging if the answers arent from a reliable source. So im really glad you guys are giving out solid and lifechanging advices as we make them practical in our everyday lives. Thanks Christopher for your efforts in increasing our knowledge and awareness to us consumers. Proud owner of Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE & Contour 1.8mk2! 🤗
Thanks so much for your wonderful message, Hasan. It's nice to hear that we can help answer real questions - and that you can put those tips, tricks and insights to work in your hi-fi setup 👏 //Christopher.
I do wonder about the PR (Passive Radiator) vented systems. They tend to get the balance between ported & closed enclosures. And they do sound different. I experienced them to be definitely more clean than the ported and having more depth than the closed enclosures... Best of both worlds ? What are the Dynaudio experts thoughts about PR systems ? Very informative videos btw, just keep doing them. Gr8 job !
Hi! I managed to have a quick chat with Alex about your question. He says: "I would say we have a lot of experience with ported/vented systems and so we're able to get great results faster for passive systems. Our technologies in our driver design are also optimised for ported and sealed enclosure systems, such as our MSP diaphragm. For active systems, closed boxes (as you will find in the Focus 60 XD) allow versatility when using DSP, they also have a better time response at low frequencies compared to vented systems. We often use highly damped ported enclosures for active systems, for example in LYD and new XEO range, as we can achieve similar advantages with added bass extension. Passive Radiators are good for avoiding box resonances being audible, however, we solve this issue by rear loading our ports. Passive radiators can also restrict the size of the enclosure designed as they often need to be larger in surface area than the active woofer, therefore, smaller box designs can be difficult to achieve. There are always trade-offs between different loudspeaker system designs and we usually chose ported boxes." I hope this clears things up a bit, Christopher.
@@dynaudio Should be feasible nowadays, there are plenty of small box passive radiator designs that can achieve deep bass. May be an issue if you're trying to cram an amplifier in there too
Nå Ja Christopher Man føler sig helt Ignoreret HA HA Du Kigger jo kun 2 Gange ind i Kameraet ;-) Kan godt se at du har det lidt svært i starten af Videoen. God forklaring Alex Newman kommer med omkring Delefilter. Well, Christopher, I feel totally ignored. HA HA. You only look 2 times into the camera ;-) I can see that you're having a hard time not to look into the camera at the start of the video. Good explanation Alex Newman about Crossover.
Åhh nej, Niels-Ole. Det går jo heller ikke! Jeg må begynde at lave to udgaver af hver video 😉 Men fedt at du kan li' Alexs forklaring. Ham skal vi nok se mere af i Ask the Expert 👏 //Christopher.
Det er altid godt med lidt kærligt drilleri 😄 Hvis, hvis vi holder et arrangement i fremtiden, så skal vi nok give besked på vores Facebook side - og reservere en plads til dig 👌

1st order has the best transient response, the least phase shift and less components. Although its not simple.
WoW! What great clear explanations from Alex. Thank you, really helpful info
Welcome, Wayne. 😊 I'm glad you like it. //Viktorija
Excellent Informative video which makes a highly complex subject clear and understandable.
Thanks, Mark. 😎
Well explained
Always excellent and educational videos, even for a long-time audio nerd. Thanks! They are partly why I just ordered a pair of Special 40's :-)
Wooow 😍 that's so great to hear! Thanks // Lilli
a trick : you can watch series at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Jamal Finnley yup, I have been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself :)
Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise with us. Much appreciated. Peter from Canada
Our pleasure, Peter. I hope you'll check out our other Ask the Expert videos :) //Christopher.
Excellent video. Thanks very much.
We're glad that you enjoyed it!
Oh that's interesting! Thanks for upload
No problem 😌 I'm happy you liked the interview 👏 //Christopher.

Dynaudio That was an intense info with loads of real-life experiences from my favorite speaker Brand.
Thanks for your efforts Christopher.
No problem! ☺️ //Christopher.
