Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) Cooperation with Dynaudio and Avid

At the 141st Audio Engineering Society convention, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD) scored big with some key announcements of joint projects with Danish speaker powerhouse Dynaudio, and a very interesting new product development for Avid, with the preview of the new MTRX audio interface for Pro Tools. Two powerful alliances, given DAD’s expertise with audio networking and AD/DA conversion technologies.

Dynaudio revealed its new M5P Evidence mastering monitor at the 141st AES show in Los Angeles. The M5P Evidence monitors have been designed without compromises using only the best materials and are custom built by hand in the Dynaudio factory in Denmark. The new speakers, part of the company’s prestigious M Series, were available for listening in a dedicated demo room at AES, side by side with Dynaudio’s new LYD compact nearfield monitors.

Dynaudio introduced its all-new Contour loudspeaker series at this year’s High End show in Munich. This is an all-new, re-thought, re-designed and re-engineered Contour range with four high-performance models: the compact 20, the medium-sized floor standing 30, the larger floor standing 60, and the 25C dedicated centre channel speaker. All models feature new mid and low-frequency drivers, complemented with the renowned Esotar2 tweeter.

Dynaudio’s Professional Audio division attended the Musikmesse 2016 show in Frankfurt as a clear sign to the market about the future evolution of the brand in the pro audio segment. With an attractive and well-designed booth, Dynaudio introduced its new Personal Reference Monitor series – LYD - “a complete redefinition of our own products,” as the company stated.

Dynaudio is a much larger company than its Professional Audio division and, since taking over direct distribution of that part of the business from former TC Group, the company is already looking to the future and designing completely new models. Now, Dynaudio decided to formally announce they will cease production of the AIR Series reference monitors.

Following the April 2015 acquisition of TC Group by Music Group, loudspeaker manufacturer Dynaudio has announced that, from 1st November 2015, it will be distributing its professional studio monitors directly from its headquarters in Skanderborg, Denmark. Ole Jensen was appointed to head the sales and distribution operation of Dynaudio Professional.

GoerTek Inc., a leading hi-tech consumer electronics company from China has acquired the majority shares of Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Dynaudio. Wilfried Ehrenholz, the founder of Dynaudio, will remain as a minority shareholder and continue to participate in Dynaudio´s product and marketing strategy. With Goertek, Dynaudio gains engineering experience in electronic and wireless technology, considered critical for the company’s latest product developments.
