Data[edit]
General
- Manufacturer: Dynaudio
- Model: Audience 42
- Year of manufacture: 2001
- Made in: Denmark
- Colour: black ash, cherry, maple, rosewood, against surcharge white, silver
- Dimensions: 170 x 282 x 246 mm (W x H x D)
- Weight: 4,8 kg
- Original price approx.: 1.100,- DM; white, silver: 1.200,- DM (RRP pair)
Technical data
- Design: 2-way bass reflex compact speaker
- drivers:
- Woofer: 150 mm
Tweeter: 28 mm dome Power handling (nominal/music): 150 Watt
- Efficiency: 86 dB (2.83 V / 1 meter)
- Frequency response: 53 - 23,000 Hz ±3 dB
- Crossover: 1,800 Hz
- Impedance: 4 Ohm
Special Features
- the Audience have a bass reflex tuning unusual for such a small speaker, called "extended bass shelf" (EBS). The resonance volume of the speaker is calculated in such a way that a lower frequency range than intended by the bass driver can be reproduced at the expense of the maximum bass volume.
- Ideally, at the right distance from the rear wall, the result is an almost unbelievable, but not thickened bass presentation. On the other hand, if the 42 is placed too close to the wall or even on a shelf, this can also result in too much bass - and: this audience needs a stable amplifier.
