Dynaudio C3 MkII Reference Monitor

The Dynaudio C3 MkII is a premium reference monitor designed for small to medium-sized music studios and film or television post-production. It shares the same high-grade components as the flagship M4 system, delivering that renowned Dynaudio sound in a more compact format.

When the Dynaudio C3 MkII is paired with a subwoofer and eight or ten surround speakers, it becomes a powerful solution for immersive formats such as Dolby Atmos HE 7.1.4 and 9.1.4.

The low end is driven by a 30cm MSP woofer with a 100mm ferrofluid-cooled voice coil. The midrange features a 17cm MSP driver with a 75mm voice coil and neodymium magnet. High frequencies are handled by the acclaimed Esotar 3 soft-dome tweeter, with a high-power passive crossover linking mid and tweeter.

A horizontal version is also available, ideal for placement above or below screens, using dual 24cm bass drivers in place of the single 30cm unit.

Supplied as a two-way active system, it is powered by either two DCA stereo amplifiers with built-in crossover cards or a DA40 amplifier with onboard DSP for stereo configurations.

When you’re in the mix position, every decision reflects your reputation and the artist’s. You both know that what goes in must come out, perfectly. Audio professionals at many of the world’s leading studios trust Dynaudio Acoustics M-series monitors. These passive speakers are built to meet the highest demands in power, accuracy and SPL, making them ideal for stereo, immersive, broadcast, dubbing and film work.

The MkII range features upgraded components throughout, including new crossovers, MSP woofers, precision-coated soft-dome midrange drivers and the renowned Esotar 3 tweeter. This results in even greater clarity and the ability to hear critical details, even in the most complex mixes.

Each model is available in a range of finishes, with custom options also offered. M-series monitors are used by Grammy, Oscar and BAFTA-winning engineers at studios such as Abbey Road, NRG, AIR, Netflix and Disney.
