EXPERIENCE THE NORDIC SOUND

Experience the Nordic Sound
In the middle of Sweden right next to lake Hjälmaren lies Örebro. It is known for
its live music scene, rich nature and beautiful city centre with the majestic castle
towering the many restaurants and the buzzing night life. This is where we design
and engineer Dynavoice.
The Dynavoice logo is a seal of quality. It guarantees that what you now have in
your possession comes from a passion for music and sound with you, the listener,
in focus.
Through our different products you will discover ’the Nordic Sound’, a warm and
powerful, yet detailed and natural sound that over the years has become synony-
mous with Dynavoice.
We want you to discover new details in your favourite songs, and experience new
dimensions when you re-watch your favourite movies with a Dynavoice
multichannel sound system. We love what we do, and we want you to hear and
feel our passion and dedication through our speakers.
Thank you for choosing Dynavoice, and enjoy listening to the Nordic Sound.

tenance instructions in the manual
that is included with the product.
This product shall not be used near water or in any moist environments. Do not block any openings
or ventilations. Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampli-
fiers) that produces heat.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Be extra careful when using acoustic feet
and spikes.
All Dynavoice products are designed and manufactured to meet the highest quality standard. Refer

Unpacking
When you unpack your new Dynavoice speaker, please do it with care. In case the product involves
heavy lifting or if it is too big for one person to handle – make sure to have assistance, we do not
want you to break the product or yourself.
When life happens and you move to a new home, you will want to take your Dynavoice products
with you. The easiest way to do this is in the original packaging so if possible - keep the box and the
packing material.
The box contains:
Getting started
We have designed the bottom plate to let you apply your choice of damping feet. Use the included
M8 spikes (floor standing models only, the bookshelf models have rubber damping feet included)
or give the speaker a floating look by using soft damping feet that fit perfectly in to the counter-
bore holes. Any type of feet improves the sound and prevents it to spread through the floor so that
you can stay friends with your neighbours, and get a more fulfilling audio experience
Your speaker has been tested at our factory before being sealed up inside the packaging, we do
however recommend you to go easy in the beginning. The initial break-in period, to soften up the
speakers, is between 20-30 hours, and even though loud music is fun - be nice to your new
Dynavoice product and treat it with care.

If a subwoofer is added - Place the subwoofer in the middle, centered between your speakers with
the front facing your listening position. You can use this as a start off point and move it sideways to
try some alternatives (consult your subwoofer manual to learn how to place it).
Positioning your speakers
Depending on the type of room, what your listening preferences are and what setup you have, the
final positioning of your speakers may vary. Most likely you will have to try out a few different
positions before you find the perfect sweet spot. This means that we cannot guarantee that the
example that follows will be suitable for you, instead consider these to be standard recommenda-
tions and starting points.
The best audio experience is usually at a listening position in the middle, between the speakers and
at least at the same distance from the front speakers as it is between them. You also need to
consider the angling of the speakers as displayed in the examples below.
All Dynavoice Classic models are equipped with a bass port on the back of the speaker. Make sure
to leave at least 10-30cm of space behind the speakers so that the air flow is uninterrupted.

2.0/2.1 SETUP
Hi-Fi setup (stereo)
Front speakers - Place your front speakers 2-4 meters apart, about 0,5-1 meter away from the rear
and side wall, try to make sure that both speakers have the same distances from surrounding walls.
The tweeters should be at the same height as your ears (0-15 degrees angle) when you are comfor-
tably sitting in your listening position, this is important so take your time measuring the different
heights. The angle of the speakers should be 22-30 degrees towards you.
When listening, if you feel that the music lacks vocals, or if you hear one side more than the other,
try moving the speakers further apart or closer together. You can also try moving them closer to
you or further away from you. If the bass feels boomy or in any way off, make sure that the reflex
port on the back of the speakers is not to close to the wall. Some acoustic disturbance can be the
result of your surroundings. If you feel that the sound is “aggressive”, try using what you have to
help absorb unwanted resonance, do the opposite if you feel that the sound is muffled.

Connecting your speakers
To get the best experience possible from your new Dynavoice speakers we recommend you to use
high quality cables and plugs. Always make sure that your amplifier is turned off when you
connect the speakers to your system. Disregarding this advice may permanently damage your
speakers.
There are three different ways to connect your speakers to your amplifier/amplifiers. These
different examples are typical, standard connections with standard electronics. Please consult the
respective manual of your amplifier for more information.
Single-wiring
The standard way to connect your speakers is following the positive (+) and negative (-) markings
on the speakers to your amplifier creating a single-wiring connection.

Bi-Wiring
A bi-wiring connection lets you connect the low frequency speakers and your high frequency
speakers separately. This type of connection allows the different speakers to focus more on their
dedicated frequency range. On the two floor standing models the midrange and tweeter are active
through the first terminal pair and the woofers are active through the second terminal pair. On the
bookshelf model the tweeter is active on the first terminal pair, and the woofer on the second pair.
It is important to first remove the jumpers that binds the terminals.

Bi-Amping
If you wish to use two separate amplifiers, one for the high frequencies and one for the low frequen-
cies you will make a bi-amp connection. On the two floor standing models the midrange and
tweeter are active through the first terminal pair and the woofers are active through the second
terminal pair. On the bookshelf model the tweeter is active on the first terminal pair, and the woofer
on the second pair. It is important that you consult the manual of your amplifer to make sure that it
has a bi-amping function.
