Dynaudio Emit 50 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

The Emit 50 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The flagship of Dynaudio's Emit series, it features a 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with Hexis, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver derived from the Evoke and Contour ranges, and twin 18cm MSP woofers with copper voice coils and dual-stacked magnet systems. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, IEC power handling is 240W, and frequency response extends from 33 Hz to 25 kHz. A hybrid three-way crossover with separate first, second, and fourth-order topologies for each driver type is tuned at 540 Hz and 4,400 Hz. The Emit 50 is sold as a pair and designed for medium to large rooms in stereo two-channel or multi-channel home cinema configurations.

Cerotar Tweeter with Hexis and Dedicated Midrange Driver

The Emit 50 carries the full Cerotar tweeter from Dynaudio's Evoke series, drawing on technologies from the Special Forty anniversary speaker, the Confidence flagship range, and the Core professional studio monitor line. The 28mm coated fabric soft-dome diaphragm is paired with the Hexis inner dome, a static, dimpled secondary dome positioned immediately behind the playing surface. Hexis prevents rear-wave reflections from forming inside the tweeter dome cavity and interfering with the front wave, suppressing frequency response irregularities and reducing listening fatigue at extended volumes. The Cerotar's Ferrite+ strontium carbonate ceramic magnet provides maximum sensitivity and honest, natural high-frequency reproduction that scales gracefully from low-level listening to high-output cinema use. The crossover assigns the tweeter a first-order network, the shallowest slope topology, chosen because the oversized Cerotar dome can be operated closer to its natural roll-off without the steep filtering that would compromise transient accuracy. Below the tweeter, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver is exclusive to the Emit 50 within the Emit series, derived from the version Dynaudio used in the Evoke range, which itself traces directly to the high-end Contour series. This driver uses a ferrite ceramic magnet, a short 38mm-diameter aluminium voice coil specifically optimised for midrange performance, and a lightweight surround for high-speed, precise response through vocals, strings, and wind instruments. Its crossover uses a second-order network, balancing roll-off steepness with phase behaviour through the critical midrange band.

Dual 18cm MSP Woofers with Copper Voice Coils and Dual-Stacked Magnets

The Emit 50's two 18cm woofers are purpose-built for bass-only duty, sharing MSP cone construction with the rest of the Emit family but using copper voice coils rather than the aluminium units in the midrange driver. Copper's higher mass is deliberately chosen here: as dedicated bass-only drivers, the woofers benefit from greater moving mass for more outright punch and low-frequency authority, without the speed penalty that heavier coils would impose on a midrange unit. Each woofer uses a dual-stacked magnet system, oriented to concentrate its magnetic energy directly into the voice coil for maximum motor force and current-handling capability. One-piece MSP cone construction, with an integrated dust cap, ensures rigid mechanical coupling between the diaphragm and the voice-coil former, minimising unwanted deformation and resonance at high excursion. The fourth-order crossover topology for the woofers provides a steep roll-off above 540 Hz, keeping the bass drivers well clear of the midrange band and preventing the overlap distortion that shallower woofer filters can introduce. The rear cabinet features dual-flared bass reflex ports, extending bass response to 33 Hz, equal to the rated lower cutoff of the Contour 60i and Confidence 60 passive speakers from Dynaudio's higher series. The 18mm MDF cabinet is internally damped with tuned polyester material selected specifically for this application, providing a stable, low-resonance enclosure for all three drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dynaudio Emit 50?

The Dynaudio Emit 50 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker sold as a pair, designed and tuned in Denmark as the flagship of Dynaudio's Emit series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver from the Evoke and Contour lineage, and twin 18cm MSP woofers with copper voice coils and dual-stacked magnets. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 240W IEC, and frequency response extends from 33 Hz to 25 kHz. All drivers are voiced and measured at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility.

How does the Dynaudio Emit 50 compare to the Klipsch RP-8000F II or Polk Audio Reserve R700?

The Dynaudio Emit 50, Klipsch RP-8000F II, and Polk Audio Reserve R700 are three-way floorstanders in an overlapping price segment but with fundamentally different design philosophies. The Klipsch RP-8000F II uses a Tractrix horn-loaded compression tweeter and dual 8-inch Cerametallic woofers, delivering high sensitivity around 98 dB for high-efficiency amplifier pairings and a forward, dynamic presentation. The Polk Reserve R700 uses the Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter and a 1-inch StereoHeight driver, with a focus on wide dispersion and height-channel compatibility. The Emit 50 differentiates itself with its hybrid three-way crossover using separate filter topologies per driver, a dedicated midrange unit traceable to the Contour series, and the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence line, prioritising tonal accuracy, low distortion, and natural midrange reproduction over maximum sensitivity.

What is the hybrid crossover in the Emit 50 and why does it matter?

The Emit 50's crossover uses three different filter topologies rather than applying a single standard design across all three drivers. The tweeter uses a first-order (6 dB per octave) network for minimal phase shift and the most natural transient behaviour through the high frequencies. The midrange uses a second-order (12 dB per octave) network for a balanced roll-off appropriate to its operating band. The woofers use a fourth-order (24 dB per octave) Linkwitz-Riley-style topology for a steep cut above 540 Hz, keeping bass-driver output well clear of the midrange band where it would cause overlap distortion. Using separate topologies for each driver section rather than a single universal approach allows Dynaudio's engineers to optimise phase and frequency behaviour for each driver individually, rather than compromising all three for the sake of engineering simplicity.

What amplifier does the Dynaudio Emit 50 work best with?

The Emit 50 is rated at 4 ohms with 86 dB sensitivity and 240W IEC power handling, making it best suited to a solid-state integrated amplifier capable of delivering stable current into a 4-ohm load. A minimum of 80W into 4 ohms is recommended for medium to large rooms, with more headroom beneficial for cinema-level listening levels. Integrated amplifiers from NAD, Cambridge Audio, Rotel, or Yamaha at appropriate power ratings are all well-matched choices. Because the Emit 50's sensitivity is on the lower side, budget or vintage receivers with limited current delivery may feel underpowered in larger rooms at higher volumes.

Can the Dynaudio Emit 50 be used in a home cinema system?

Yes, the Emit 50 is specifically designed for both stereo two-channel listening and multi-channel home cinema use in medium to large rooms. It is compatible with other speakers in the Emit range, including the Emit 30 centre channel and Emit 10 or Emit 20 bookshelf models as surrounds, for a full Emit multi-channel system with consistent Cerotar tweeter voicing across all channels. Its 33 Hz bass extension and 240W IEC power handling make it capable of delivering cinema-level dynamics without a subwoofer in many medium-sized rooms, though a Dynaudio Sub 3 or Sub 6 can be added for reinforcement in larger spaces.

Where can I buy the Dynaudio Emit 50 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?

The Dynaudio Emit 50 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss system matching for stereo or home cinema configurations.

How does the Emit 50 differ from the Evoke 50?

The Dynaudio Evoke 50 and Emit 50 are both three-way floorstanders with dedicated midrange drivers and twin 18cm woofers, but the Evoke 50 sits in a higher tier with a more extensive specification. The Evoke 50 uses MSP woofers with longer-throw Contour-derived surrounds, a midrange driver directly from the Contour range, three-stage adjustable rear bass ports, and a cabinet built to Dynaudio's furniture-grade finishing standards. The Emit 50 uses a midrange driver derived from the Evoke range rather than directly from the Contour, copper voice-coil woofers with dual-stacked magnets in a fixed-port enclosure, and three laminate finishes rather than the Evoke's veneer and high-gloss lacquer options. Both use the same Cerotar tweeter with Hexis. The Emit 50 reaches 33 Hz, one hertz deeper than the Evoke 50's 35 Hz, and represents the more accessible entry point into Dynaudio's three-way floorstander lineup.
