Despite the fact that Dynaudio has built a very strong name in the audio industry with its ranges of passive (better yet, let's call them traditional) speakers, it has been very nice to see the MC 15 active monitors attain a lot of success among the critical listeners. Building on both the worldwide-recognized excellence coupled with the traditional top-shelf manufacturing and the massive appreciation for its previous release (the MC 15), Dynaudio has taken another step in the field of active loudspeakers and is now announcing the Focus 110A, an active re-enactment of its already-successful Focus 110 desktop series.

If you're looking for a pair of speakers capable of delivering you a lot of punch with extreme clarity and crisp details, while packing serious power in a diminutive cabinet, then the new Focus 110A might be one of the best choices you could ever make.

Unlike other similar desktop monitors that have had a near-field operation, the new Dynaudio Focus 110A can be used in a wider variety of applications, from reference listening to studio monitoring, or simply for enjoying the great sound of your fav music, at home. Optimized for normal room listening, these speakers will perform equally well in your living room as they would in an audiophile-dedicated and specially-treated ambient.

The Dynaudio Focus 110A sport a wooden cabinet with a massive rear-firing bass reflex round port with flared edges, increasing the LF response for a deep, rolling bass. The mid-bass driver comes with a Magnesium Silicate Polymer cone with the Dynaudio trademark design and a generous surround for a longer excursion and a punchier rumble. At the other end of the audio spectrum, you'll find a coated, soft dome tweeter for shimmering highs and well-contoured sonic representation.

Each driver is powered by its own 50W high-class amplifier, and thus you'll end up with a massive 200W power rating you can obtain from a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110A speakers. These digital monitors can receive signal from almost any source, including iPods, flatscreen TVs, or portable players, and your top-notch audiophile rack, of course.

The nifty contraptions will be made available starting with February 2009, and they'll come in maple, cherry, rosewood, and black ash finishes, with high-gloss black and white to be added in April. Now, if you expect something cheap from Dynaudio, we're sorry to tell you that the Focus 110A will retail for around $2,450 per pair.
