Dynaudio Special Forty and EMIT Loudspeakers
Special Forty
Dynaudio’s award-winning anniversary speaker, Special Forty, has been given a makeover with two stunning new finishes.

Ebony Wave is a captivatingly sinuous take on the classic hardwood.

EMIT Loudspeakers
All the loudspeakers in the Emit family were measured in the vast Jupiter testing facility at Dynaudio Labs. It’s a huge 13 x 13 x 13m room in the heart of our R&D building, in the middle of which lurks a vast 6m robotic measuring array. It’s bristling with 31 microphones that measure the speakers’ impulse response, allowing our team of engineers to optimise their performance in near real-time. You can find out more about Jupiter here.
The clean, unfussy cabinets are available in three custom laminate finishes (Black, White and Walnut), designed to complement any set-up (including if you want them to be unobtrusive in a multichannel system). All speakers in the series come with black magnetic grilles.
Emit is hi-fi, distilled. Plug in a pair and you’ll experience the very essence of your collection, whether that’s a stock of CDs, streaming playlists or a library of your favourite films. Astonishing consistency between speakers in the family means that wild panning effects stay locked-in, and stereo systems sing in total harmony.
There’s no better way to start your audiophile journey.
