Dynaudio XEO 20

Dynaudio XEO 20 Wireless / Bluetooth Speakers - wireless, powerful, active

Compact wireless digital active loudspeaker | The new Xeo 20 is a "best of" of the predecessor model Xeo 4, which has gained in some disciplines and also brings some pleasant surprises.

If you know its predecessor, you''ve probably already noticed its subtle facelift. Our designers have rounded off the corners and made the edges smoother. They have now placed the infrared receiver - which used to be above the tweeter - under the woofer. This creates a discreet, tidy overall impression. And they decided to make all the metal components of the driver black. The result radiates Scandinavian minimalism.

If you took this beautifully shaped loudspeaker apart (although we honestly don''t like to see it), you''d also find some remarkable innovations in its interior. Both the 14 cm diameter Esotec MSP driver and the 28 mm Esotec fabric tweeter have their own 65 Watt digital amplifiers. Otherwise you will find legendary, proven Dynaudio technology such as our innovative magnet systems and aluminium voice coils. Performance is nothing without control. That''s why our developers have precisely matched the amplifiers to the tweeters and woofers and consistently optimized them. Only in this way can the individual components realize their full potential.

Xeo 20: Optimized according to the model of our professional studio speakers
The best way to master performance is to learn it from professionals. The Xeo 20''s tuning is based on our famous LYD 5 professional studio monitor - a speaker that has to prove itself wherever music is created and recorded. This creates a clear sonic connection from the artist in the studio via the mixing console to the end of the audio chain, into your living room. You hear what the artist played and heard.

The updated firmware offers more effective signal compression and limiting. The crossover has also been simplified. A greater overlap of the frequency ranges of both drivers results in a particularly consistent sound image over the entire frequency range. And the improved bass reproduction and sound radiation away from the hearing axis compared to the predecessor ensures that you can still enjoy a wonderful sound image even if someone else has taken your perfectly placed favourite armchair into their hands. We''ve also increased the power of the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) while simplifying it to make it even more effective at position compensation (for free-standing placement, on walls or in corners). We''ve already done a similar thing with the new Focus XD product family. Where zeros and ones become tones again, air must be moved particularly effectively. A slot-shaped bass reflex port ensures a tight and powerful bass reproduction.

Xeo 20: Direct inputs
The new Xeo 20 also has direct inputs. So you no longer need any external components to connect your existing signal sources. But perhaps you''re looking for more options - such as 24-bit, 96kHz wireless audio transmission of the highest quality. The separately available Dynaudio Connect Box is recommended for this purpose.

At the rear of the master loudspeaker (which can play either the left or right channel of the stereo signal) there is a digital optical input (Toslink with 24 bit / 192 kHz), stereo cinch and 3.5 mm mini jack sockets. Most audio sources will probably find a connection here without any problems. Also your cassette recorder from childhood or the venerable tape machine.

You prefer wireless? Then you will be pleased about the integrated Bluetooth aptX technology. It allows the Xeo to receive high-quality wireless signals from any compatible device. And because the signal is transmitted between the Xeo 20 speakers with a high-resolution 24/96 signal, you know that no detail of your music will be lost. Once you''ve made yourself comfortable between your new speakers, you won''t want to get up so quickly - nobody understands that better than we do. So you''ll be happy to know that the new remote can control both the direct inputs of the Xeo 20 and the Dynaudio Connect Box - even over greater distances than its predecessor.

The Xeo 20 finds a firm foothold on the separately available speaker stands Stand 10 and Stand 20 and is also suitable for mounting on a Vesa 100 bracket.
