Dynaudio Announces AIR Series Monitors

May 14, 2001

Dynaudio Acoustics and TC Electronic proudly announce the AIR Series - a brand new range of intelligent monitors, that provides the technology of the future already today. Utilising DSP, networking intelligence and digital amplifiers, the AIR series defines a new level for performance and operation convenience in the speaker world. Central remote control, preset storage and recall, extreme alignment flexibility, and ultimate precision are among the numerous advantages offered by the AIR series.

The built-in DSP enables compensation for traditional speaker inefficiencies and offers tools to adjust speakers for optimal performance in different acoustic environments. All audio and control information is distributed in an internal network in-between speakers, which allows for powerful internal 5.1 (and stereo, of course) features and convenience such as bass management simulations on the fly, central control of levels, recall of different set-ups, solo / mute of individual speakers etc.

Business Manager, Carsten Lebeck, explains: "In the wake of 5.1 getting established, production facilities are facing a whole range of new problems monitoring audio. Alignment in-between speakers is more important than ever. Adaptation to acoustic environments and placement issues are also becoming even more critical. Add to this the number of different standards and formats for bass management, levels etc., and it is obvious that the ultimate 5.1 monitor solution calls for new thinking in speaker-technology " Carsten continues: "This is basically what the AIR series is all about. Adding DSP and networking intelligence to our monitor-systems eliminate boundaries traditionally associated with speaker-design and allow us to revolutionise the monitor world both in terms of sound quality and operational convenience. Another major leap forward is of course the ability to optimise performance in different acoustic environments. Internal precision EQ's and delay lines allow not only for improved sound quality, but also for more consistent speaker-performance among different acoustic environments."

Developed in cooperation between Dynaudio Acoustics and TC Electronic, The AIR Series is made for demanding audio professionals in applications such as Post, Broadcast, Film, Mastering and Recording studios. Expecting to ship in Q4 2001, the first AIR series products include AIR6, a bi-amplified two-way near-field monitor (6.5" woofer and 1.1" soft dome) and AIR15 , a bi-amplified two-way near-field monitor (9" woofer and 1.1" soft dome). Three different dedicated AIR subwoofers ensure .1 performance in different applications while a dedicated remote secures central control and convenience. An advanced SW package will offer advanced EQ and DELAY tools for acoustic consultants and installers.
