Dynaudio Emit 10 Bookshelf Speakers

The design and engineering of the Emit series are carried out at Dynaudio Labs in Denmark. The Emit 10 is a compact two-way bookshelf speaker featuring technology derived from the manufacturer's high-end Confidence, Contour i, and Evoke series. The Emit 10 is an ideal speaker for small rooms and high-quality compact hi-fi systems.

Dynaudio Emit 10: Construction

The Emit 10 cabinets are made of 18mm MDF, covered in Black, White, or Walnut laminate finishes.
The loading principle is a rear bass-reflex design, which means the speakers should not be placed against a back wall. It features a dual-flared design to reduce air turbulence and minimize unwanted noise.
Internal damping material is measured to the gram for the perfect combination of damping and tuning.
The drivers can be concealed behind magnetically attached grilles.

Dynaudio Emit 10: Drivers

The Dynaudio Emit 10 is equipped with a 14cm MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) mid/bass driver. MSP is a material developed by Dynaudio and used by the manufacturer for several decades. It offers a good combination of lightness, rigidity, and damping.
The Emit 10 mid/bass driver is derived from the Esotec+ found in the Evoke series.
It utilizes a dual-magnet motor providing excellent displacement control and better sensitivity.
The dust cap is part of the cone surface. The small dotted line around its edge is directly connected to the 38mm voice coil behind it.
This voice coil itself is made of copper-clad aluminum wire. Aluminum is lightweight, giving the driver a basic agility you might not find elsewhere, while the copper coating increases conductivity allowing for more power.
A high-quality dual-ferrite magnet system provides the power and controls the magnetic flux, redirecting it to the voice coil where it is most needed.

This driver is paired with a Cerotar tweeter, which is exactly the one found in the Evoke. It is derived from the award-winning Esotar Forty Anniversary and the incredible Esotar3, which you can hear in the Dynaudio Heritage Special and Dynaudio Confidence speakers. It is a 28mm fabric soft-dome tweeter with our special DSR (Dynaudio Secret Recipe) coating. This fabric soft-dome tweeter allows for the reproduction of all the details and openness of a work without adding listening fatigue. Behind this dome is the Hexis device, an ingenious dimpled inner dome located directly behind the playing surface that shapes airflow to optimize frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances. This results in more precise diaphragm movement. It is driven by a Ferrite+ strontium carbonate ceramic magnet system for more sensitivity, improved clarity, and better dynamic response. These drivers are connected to a first-order crossover for the tweeter and a second-order topology for the mid/bass driver. It uses excellent quality components.

Dynaudio Emit 10: Installation

These Dynaudio Emit 10 speakers should be installed on a piece of furniture or on shelves at a height between 60 and 80 cm from the floor. The best choice will of course be to position them on dedicated stands. The best result was achieved by placing them 35 cm from the rear wall and 2.50m apart. The high-quality binding posts only offer single-wiring, and that's for the best. They are also quite sensitive to speaker cables. Depending on the associated amplifier, the choice of cable should be made with care.

Dynaudio Emit 10: Performance

The Dynaudio Emit 10 gives music remarkable depth and scale given the size of the speakers. The stereo imaging and instrument separation are excellent, even astonishing. The depth of the soundstage is also an impressive asset of these Dynaudio Emit 10s. One perceives instruments both on the lateral side of the speakers and behind them. They even manage to offer great focus even when off-axis.
The presence in the midrange and bass is surprising even though they announce a frequency response only going down to about 64 Hz. But the low-end response seems much more significant when listening, with excellent control and remarkable impact.
The Emit 10 delivers a midrange with surprising harmonic richness and very pleasant dynamics.
Dynaudio designed these speakers to fit easily into any interior and give their best even if they are not perfectly positioned.
The Dynaudio Emit 10 has the ability to brilliantly reproduce almost any musical genre. Their strength is that they don't seem to have any flaws.
Certainly, there are higher-performing speakers, but at the proposed price, it's difficult to find a model so versatile and musical.

Highly recommended +++
