Focus
Features
Studio-grade performance
Focus’s amplifiers are based on the same technology we use in our 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.

Classic Dynaudio drivers
Danish design
Clean, elegant, contemporary and sleek. We 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.
Behind the music
Focus 30 has more than 40 years of acoustic expertise to back-up its technological wizardry.
Its drivers are classic Dynaudio: a Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with the ingenious resonance-defeating, frequency-smoothing, fatigue-busting Hexis device – plus twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid/bass units. What could be more familiar?
The Cerotar tweeter is based on the range-topping Esotar 3 you’ll find in our Confidence range. It uses a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ magnet system, optimised for airflow, to increase sensitivity. In practice that means clear, sweet, detailed treble that’s easy to listen to… perfect for listening late into the night.
The Esotec+ mid/bass units are made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a material we developed ourselves and have been refining and using for four decades. It provides exactly the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping for incredible control over midrange and low frequencies. Couple that with a lightweight aluminium voice-coil (for more accuracy, control and finesse) and an improved magnet system that generates more driver excursion (for lower, punchier bass and more midrange clarity) and you’ve a formula for addictive, toe-tapping performance.
And the closed-box cabinet design lets us take full advantage of the powerful amplification and DSP (digital signal processing) on board – marrying the extreme low-frequencies, the expressive midrange and soaring treble in exciting new ways.
Brains and brawn
Focus 30 is active, which means each individual driver is powered by its own amplifier. There are three amps in each speaker – each one tailored to the driver it’s paired with. It means we can zero in on that particular driver’s strengths, bringing them out without needing to compromise for other frequencies. The tweeter has a 110W amp, and each mid/bass driver has its own 280W powerhouse.
We’ve used high-quality class-D amps from our partners at Pascal in Copenhagen. We know each other well: our flagship pro speaker series, Core – used in some of the world’s top studios – also uses Pascal amps. We think you’ll agree that being able to draw a sonic line directly from the artist to your living room is something rather special.
That line continues through the DSP. As with our pro speakers, you can tell Focus 30 where it’s sitting in your room (near a wall, in a corner or in free space) via a simple switch in the companion Dynaudio app and it will optimise itself to sound its best in that position. There’s even optional Dirac Live integration for a deep-dive into calibration – and completely customised results.
The speakers even know when they’re wearing a magnetic grille or are standing in their birthday suit – and they’ll optimise themselves accordingly. And they’re constantly keeping an ear out for the kind of volume levels that could cause damage to the drivers and amp; a custom sliding high-pass filter rolls off the bass at high volume to keep everything balanced. In practice, that means you get deeper bass at lower volume levels – and you can push the speakers louder overall (your neighbours can thank you later).
Objectively beautiful
Some active systems look like weird creatures from the future… but who wants a couple of spiky novelties peering back at them in the living room? With Focus 30 we’ve stuck to what we do best: simple, stylish, timeless Danish design.
We studied interior design trends and tailored the whole product family for real-life rooms and real people. You’ll get top-quality cabinetry, glorious fit-and-finish (check out the anodised brushed aluminium cover rings and discreet Dynaudio logo on the grille), and four furniture grade finishes (see below). Just as you’d expect from a high-end hi-fi system.
Focus 30 isn’t just a pair of active speakers. It isn’t yet another copycat wireless system. It’s so much more – a true audiophile-grade game-changer. It’s time to listen to something new…
