Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless Floorstanding Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

The Focus 50 is a three-way active wireless floorstanding loudspeaker system from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Part of Dynaudio's Focus series, it combines 1,000W peak amplification from Pascal of Copenhagen with flagship driver technology including the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis inner dome, a Contour 60-derived 15cm MSP midrange driver, and dual 18cm Esotec+ bass drivers. Streaming connectivity spans Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon, Bluetooth, and WiSA wireless inter-speaker transmission up to 24-bit/96kHz, with optional Dirac Live room correction available for full calibration. The Focus 50 is the recipient of the EISA Award 2023-2024 for Wireless Floorstanding Loudspeakers.

Three-Way Active Architecture: Pascal Amplification and DSP Control

Each Focus 50 speaker houses three independent Class D amplifiers developed in partnership with Pascal, the same Copenhagen-based engineering company behind the power systems in Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor range. The amplifier allocation is driver-specific: a 110W unit drives the Cerotar tweeter, a 280W amplifier powers the dedicated midrange driver, and a 280W amplifier drives the twin Esotec+ bass drivers in parallel. Peak output reaches 1,000W per speaker. This per-driver amplification model eliminates the passive crossover losses and impedance matching compromises inherent in conventional speaker and amplifier pairings, with each amplifier tuned to the exact characteristics of its assigned driver. Governing all three amplifiers is a DSP crossover platform based on the same signal processing architecture used in Dynaudio's Core and LYD professional reference monitor lines. The crossover operates at 390 Hz between bass and midrange and at 4,700 Hz between midrange and tweeter. Room compensation algorithms within the DSP allow the speaker to adjust its output profile based on placement, selectable via the Dynaudio app during initial setup, whether positioned near a wall, in a corner, or in free space. Optional Dirac Live integration extends this capability to full measured room correction for users and installers requiring the highest level of acoustic calibration.

Flagship Driver Technology and Smart Grille Auto-Sensing

The Focus 50 draws its driver lineup directly from Dynaudio's passive hi-fi heritage. The 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter shares the Hexis inner dome first introduced in the Confidence range, a secondary dome element placed behind the tweeter diaphragm to control internal resonances and smooth the high-frequency response, backed by a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ magnet system for maximum sensitivity. The 15cm MSP midrange driver is derived from the dedicated midrange unit in the Contour 60, using a neodymium magnet, a glass-fibre voice-coil former, and a lightweight aluminium voice coil for agility across the mid frequencies. Handling bass are two 18cm Esotec+ drivers with copper voice coils inside Ferrite+ magnets, optimized purely for low-frequency output and control rather than midrange agility, extending the system's measured lower cutoff to 20 Hz at 85 dB. The cabinet is sealed rather than ported, providing tighter bass transient response suited to DSP-managed bass extension. The magnetic Smart Grille features auto-sensing technology: the speaker detects whether the grille is installed and automatically applies the appropriate EQ correction, confirmed by a brief blue glow of the front indicator light, requiring no user input.

Wireless Streaming and Connectivity

The Focus 50 is built around a comprehensive connectivity platform. Streaming services are supported natively via Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon, Qplay, and UPnP. Network connection is available via both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Bluetooth 4.2 provides direct wireless pairing. Physical sources connect via two RCA analogue inputs, one Toslink optical digital input, and one RCA coaxial digital input. A subwoofer RCA output, a 12V trigger output, and a wired RCA inter-speaker connection supporting 24-bit/192kHz transmission are also provided on the primary speaker. The wireless inter-speaker link operates over WiSA at up to 24-bit/96kHz, providing a cable-free connection between the primary and client speakers. The result is a system that requires only two power cables to operate fully.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dynaudio Focus 50?

The Dynaudio Focus 50 is a three-way active wireless floorstanding loudspeaker system with 1,000W peak amplification per speaker, built in Denmark. It features a Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver, dual 18cm Esotec+ bass drivers, and a DSP-based crossover platform with optional Dirac Live room correction. Streaming is supported via AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon, and WiSA wireless inter-speaker transmission. It is the EISA Award 2023-2024 winner for Wireless Floorstanding Loudspeakers.

How does the Dynaudio Focus 50 compare to the Kef LS60 Wireless or Bowers and Wilkins Formation 700?

The Dynaudio Focus 50, KEF LS60 Wireless, and Bowers and Wilkins Formation 700 are all premium active wireless floorstanders, but they differ substantially in architecture. The KEF LS60 uses KEF's coaxial Uni-Q driver array in a four-way active configuration with built-in DSP and streaming, offering a compact footprint. The B and W Formation 700 focuses on a two-way design with wireless Formation ecosystem integration. The Focus 50 differentiates itself with a dedicated midrange driver derived from the Contour 60, per-driver Pascal Class D amplification at up to 1,000W peak, WiSA inter-speaker transmission, and optional Dirac Live room correction, making it the most powerful and configurable option of the three for larger rooms and advanced acoustic calibration needs.

Does the Dynaudio Focus 50 require an AV receiver or external amplifier?

No, the Focus 50 is a fully active system requiring no external amplifier or AV receiver. Each speaker contains three built-in Pascal Class D amplifiers totalling 1,000W peak output, driven by an onboard DSP crossover. The only external connections required are two power cables, one per speaker. Sources connect directly to the primary speaker via analogue inputs, digital inputs, network streaming, or Bluetooth.

What is Dirac Live and does the Focus 50 support it?

Dirac Live is a professional-grade room correction system that uses acoustic measurements of a listening room to generate a correction filter, compensating for room-induced frequency response and timing errors. The Focus 50 supports Dirac Live as an optional calibration tool, available through the Dynaudio app setup process. It is particularly valuable in acoustically challenging rooms where standard placement compensation settings are insufficient. Dirac Live licenses are available at different tiers depending on the depth of correction required.

Can the Dynaudio Focus 50 connect to a turntable?

Yes, the Focus 50 can accept a turntable signal via its RCA analogue inputs on the primary speaker, provided the turntable has a built-in phono stage or is paired with a separate phono preamplifier. The Focus 50 does not include an internal phono stage, so a moving magnet or moving coil cartridge signal requires amplification to line level before reaching the speaker's analogue input.

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

The Dynaudio Focus 50 is available 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 demonstration or to discuss setup and room optimization options for your specific listening space.

What is WiSA and how does it work in the Focus 50?

WiSA is a wireless audio transmission standard designed specifically for high-fidelity speaker systems, supporting uncompressed audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz with very low latency. In the Focus 50, WiSA handles the wireless connection between the primary speaker and the client speaker, eliminating the need for a speaker cable between the two units. The primary speaker acts as the hub, receiving all source inputs and streaming connections, then transmitting the channel signal wirelessly to the client speaker via WiSA. A wired RCA inter-speaker connection supporting 24-bit/192kHz is also available for users who prefer a cabled link.
