Dynaudio SF1 Speaker Foot (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

The SF1 is a compact tilting speaker foot from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Designed for placement of small and medium compact loudspeakers on sideboards, shelves, low-boards, and desks, the SF1 raises and angles the speaker with a slight upward tilt to reduce surface reflections from the underlying furniture that would otherwise colour the speaker's sound. The top plate measures 110mm x 190mm with a footprint of 187mm x 208mm. Compatible with a wide range of compact passive and active loudspeakers, including the Dynaudio Emit M10, Emit M20, DM 2/6, DM 2/7, Excite X14, Excite X14A, Xeo 3, and Xeo 4. Available in matte Black and Silver finishes. Sold as a pair.

Upward Tilt and Surface Reflection Reduction

When a compact loudspeaker is placed flat on a shelf, sideboard, or desk, sound from the tweeter travels downward toward the surface and reflects back toward the listener, arriving slightly delayed relative to the direct sound. These reflections overlap with the direct sound in the frequency range most critical for imaging and midrange clarity, introducing comb filtering effects and reducing the precision of the stereo image. The SF1 addresses this by raising the speaker on a wedge-shaped base that introduces a slight upward tilt to the speaker's axis, angling the tweeter away from the surface and reducing the level of downward reflection energy. The result is a cleaner, more direct sound from the speaker in a shelf or desk placement without requiring a full-height floor stand. The tilt also improves the acoustic axis alignment for listeners seated below the tweeter height of a shelf-mounted speaker, as compact speakers placed on sideboards and low furniture typically aim above the seated listener's ear level when placed flat. The SF1's upward tilt redirects the tweeter axis closer to the listening position, improving high-frequency response and imaging in typical furniture-mounted configurations.

Key Features

• Upward Tilt for Surface Reflection Reduction: A wedge-shaped base angles the speaker upward, reducing first-reflection energy from the underlying shelf or sideboard surface and improving the directness and clarity of the speaker's sound in furniture-mounted positions.
• Improved Tweeter Axis Alignment: The upward tilt redirects the tweeter toward the listening position when the speaker is placed on furniture below seated ear height, improving high-frequency response and image focus.
• 110mm x 190mm Top Plate: Accommodates the base footprint of compact Dynaudio standmounts and many comparable third-party compact loudspeakers.
• 187mm x 208mm Overall Footprint: A stable base footprint that sits securely on shelves and sideboards without occupying excessive surface area.
• Compact and Low-Profile: Requires minimal vertical space compared to a full-height speaker stand, making it the practical choice for rooms where floor stands are not practical or aesthetically appropriate.
• Two Finishes: Matte Black and Silver, suitable for use alongside dark or light speaker and furniture combinations.
• Sold as a Pair: One SF1 per speaker, supplied as a complete pair for a stereo installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dynaudio SF1?

The Dynaudio SF1 is a compact tilting speaker foot sold as a pair, designed to place small and medium compact loudspeakers on shelves, sideboards, and desks with a slight upward tilt. The top plate measures 110mm x 190mm with a 187mm x 208mm overall footprint. The tilt reduces surface reflections from the underlying furniture and improves tweeter axis alignment toward the listening position. Available in matte Black and Silver.

Why does the SF1 tilt the speaker upward rather than keeping it flat?

When a speaker sits flat on a surface, the tweeter's downward radiation reflects off the shelf or desk below and arrives at the listener as a delayed copy of the direct sound. This reflection overlaps with the direct tweeter output and causes comb filtering, which reduces midrange and high-frequency clarity and blurs the stereo image. The SF1's upward tilt reduces this reflection by angling the tweeter away from the surface below, lowering the level of the reflection path. The tilt also compensates for the fact that shelf-mounted speakers typically aim above the listener's ear when placed flat, by redirecting the tweeter axis downward toward the seated listening position.

Can the SF1 be used with current Dynaudio Emit or Evoke speakers?

The SF1's 110mm x 190mm top plate is dimensioned for compact speaker bases in the range it was designed for. Whether it fits current Emit 10 or Evoke 10 models depends on those speakers' base footprint dimensions relative to the top plate. Buyers should verify that the speaker base sits securely on the 110mm x 190mm plate before purchase. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to confirm compatibility with specific current Dynaudio speaker models.

Is the SF1 suitable for centre channel speakers placed below a display?

Yes, the SF1 is specifically mentioned for centre channel use in the product description. A centre speaker placed below a display on a TV bench benefits from the SF1's upward tilt, which angles the speaker toward the listener seated in front of the display rather than projecting dialogue level across the room horizontally. This improves the perceived focus of voice reproduction from the centre channel without requiring a taller stand or riser.
