These high-end wireless speakers boast an advanced digital sound processing system
From inventing the loudspeaker to building the best possible studio monitors, the Danes know their sound in and out, and nothing proves this better than an experience of listening to your favourite tracks on the Xeo 6 from Dynaudio, a perfect mix of modern technology, superb sound, and great engineering that makes these floor standing speakers worth every cent that you spend on them.
If you are an audiophile, chances are you want to stay as far away as you can from wireless speakers, but Dynaudio has been one of the few manufacturers that have managed to go wireless without any loss of sound quality. The Xeo 6 and its coupled transmitter, called the Xeo Hub, can now decode digital files at 24 bits or 96 kilo hertz, ensuring you have the best sound when you want it.
The Xeo Hub features three digital inputs, an optical, a coaxial and a USB input so that you can push out content from your sources, and if you are the analog types, there is even a set of RCA connectors, as well as an Aux input. The Xeo Hub uses both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency to connect to your speaker, and can do this up to a distance of 20 metres. Each Xeo Hub can have 3 IDs (A, B and C) and uses a standard micro USB to power the Hub. You can use the remote control to choose the source, and just in case you have only one source running, the Xeo Hub chooses it automatically. A new Speaker Position EQ allows you to optimise the sound quality according to the speakers’ placement in the room.
The Xeo 6 offers its remarkable quality of sound using 2 X 50 watt woofers and a 50 watt tweeter all facing the front and a bass port at the back to ensure you have both the lows and the highs taken care of while focusing the soundwaves on your ears.
The Speakers are available in white or black and weigh about 14.7 kg a piece. At 33.6 inches, they stand tall and mark their presence.
With the Xeo 6, a must-purchase is the Xeo Link that costs an additional $175. This unit allows you to wirelessly connect a sub- woofer or a headphone or any other peripheral piece of equipment to the Hub, enhancing flexibility.
