Dynaudio is a Danish loudspeaker maker, founded in 1977. Originally Dynaudio built speakers using their own crossover but relying on OEM drivers, but later they started to make their own drivers. [1] Dynaudio has a subsidiary called Dynaudio Acoustics that focuses on professional studio monitor loudspeakers. Today, Dynaudio is the OEM audio supplier to Swedish automaker Volvo Cars Corporation and German automaker Volkswagen. Dynaudio supplies high quality speakers, amplifiers, and acoustics to the entire Volvo vehicle range including the new Volvo XC60 from 1996 in the Volvo S70 and the Volvo C70. The top end sound packages boast Dynaudio badges in the cabin of the vehicle although all of the sound equipment on the lower end sound packages have dynaudio speakers and amplifiers. Volkswagen vehicles followed Volvo by employing Dynaudio as its OEM speaker maker, but not all Volkswagen models come equipped with Dynaudio Sound Systems.
Bugatti has also employed Dynaudio as their OEM audio supplier. Bugatti's Dynaudio system is called The Puccini Sound System.
Dynaudio has also worked with computing OEM Micro-Star International in producing the sound system for their GX660 notebook range, released in 2010. During this time it was allegedly the best audio system conceived for a notebook computer.
The pro audio division of the company, Dynaudio Acoustics, focuses on recording studio loudspeaker equipment such as studio monitors. In 1999, Dynaudio Acoustics became partners with TC Electronic. Some major recording studios that use Dynaudio Acoustics products are Air Lyndhurst, NRG Studios, and The Hit Factory. Record producers Mike Hedges, Trevor Horn, Steve Lipson, and Mutt Lange do as well.
