Compact digital active wireless hi-fi speakers
Forty years of hi-fi expertise – plus cutting-edge digital technology – in a compact stand-mounted speaker
The new Xeo 20 takes all the things we loved about the older Xeo 4, updates them to things we love even more, and adds a few new surprises.
You’ll have already noticed the facelift. Our designers have rounded the corners and softened the edges. They’ve moved the infra-red receiver from the top to under the woofer for a neater, cleaner look. And they’ve made the metal driver parts black for a touch of Nordic simplicity.
If you were to take the speaker apart (although we’d really rather you didn’t), you’d see just as many developments inside, too. The 14cm Esotec MSP driver and 28mm Esotec soft-dome tweeter (both packed with legendary Dynaudio tech, including aluminium voice-coils and innovative magnet systems) are each powered by their own 65W digital amplifiers. And because one size doesn’t always fit all, each amp is precisely tuned and optimized for the driver it’s powering – giving our engineers incredible control over their performance.
Xeo 20: tuned from our pro studio speakers
That control comes from the best. Xeo 20’s tuning is based on our celebrated LYD 5 professional studio monitors – speakers that work at the front line of music production. It gives you a direct line from performer to mixing desk to living room… what they heard is what you get.
The updated firmware includes improved compressor and limiter algorithms and a simplified crossover. That means a larger overlap between the drivers’ frequency ranges for incredible integration, improved bass and much better off-axis performance… so if you’re jostled out of the good seat, you know you’ll still have a great time. We’ve also given the DSP (digital signal processing) engine more horsepower, as well as simplifying it, to enhance speaker-position compensation for corner, wall and free-space placements. It’s a similar approach to the one we used for the new Focus XD range. A slot-type bass port, meanwhile, handles the moving-air stage to further improve, tighten and enhance low-frequency performance.
Xeo 20: direct inputs
The new Xeo 20 also gets direct inputs, so you don’t need to add any external boxes to plug in your existing equipment – although if you want even more options, including wireless 24-bit/96kHz hi-res audio, the optional Dynaudio Connect box has you covered.
Round the back of the master speaker (which can be set as either the left or right channel) you’ll find 24-bit/192kHz Toslink digital optical, stereo RCA phono and 3.5mm minijack inputs for all your sources. So, yes, you can still plug in that old cassette player or 8-track machine…
Don’t want to use wires? We’ve added built-in aptX Bluetooth so you can stream wirelessly from any compatible device. And because the Xeo 20 speakers communicate together using a full-fat 24/96 hi-res signal, you know you won’t miss a single detail in your music. If you don’t want to get out of your seat (we totally understand), you’ll also be happy to hear that the new remote control works with Xeo 20’s direct inputs and the Dynaudio Connect box – and over a longer distance than before.
Xeo 20 is designed to work with the optional Stand 10 and Stand 20, and there’s also built-in provision for Vesa 100 mounts.

ATC SCM-20PSL
SCM20 – Can be active or passive
Overview
The hybrid design incorporates a 150mm bass cone on to which is grafted a 75mm soft dome.
The magnet assembly utilises ATC’s unique “SL” technology which greatly reduces distortion in moving coil drive units by a very significant 12-15dB (3rd harmonic). To minimise Time Domain Distortion both dome and cone are made from acoustically “dead” polyester wave material doped with ATC’s own formulation.
Not only does the SCM20SL reproduce bass with remarkable articulation and authority, it also has outstanding mid-band clarity, incredible dynamic range, and awesome power handling.
The active tower version (SCM20ATSL) is powered by the ATC “Grounded Source” Bi-amplifier. The bass/mid is driven with 200 watts, while the tweeter has 50 watts of class “AB” power.
Both amplifiers feature momentary gain reduction circuitry which both protects drive units and prevents unpleasant sounds from overdrive.
Accompanied by either ATC SCA2 or CA2 preamp the SCM20AT will outperform any other combination in its price range and many costing far more.
An all-time classic still available and in any veneer to special order.

LINE MAGNETIC LM-69
Speakers (Pair) – Full range 6 x 9inch – 2x20W – 8Ω – 95dB/W/1m – 40Hz-22kHz
The LM-69 (6 inch x 9 inch) loudspeakers use a loudspeaker developed by Line Magnetic but inspired by the creations of the 50s and 60s. Its double membrane (bi-conical) is made of cellulose pulp and has rigidity and lightness qualities that allow it to achieve an exceptional performance of 95dB into 8 Ohms.
Finish: Cherry
Line Magnetic 222
Inspired by the famous JENSEN222 coaxial speaker, this monitor delivers unparalleled musicality and an extremely faithful stereo image. The use of the coaxial (with a 6-cell horn) greatly facilitates the positioning of the speakers in the listening room, knowing that the listening distance can be relatively low (about 2m50).

The Raidho Acoustics C-2.2 is a 2.5-way floor standing loudspeaker. It is built with the same unique qualities as the C-1.1, but with a somewhat larger cabinet and an additional Raidho Ceramix Driver. This relieves the workload on the upper Ceramix Driver, which results in a deeper bass and an even higher dynamic headroom. The extended bass frequency and the larger dynamic contrasts give the music performance more substance and a very natural tone colour.

ATC SCM-50ASLT
SCM50SLT
Overview: Active or Passive
The SCM50 ASLT (active) and SCM50 PSLT (passive) towers are designed to offer exceptional performance and enjoyment to the home hi-fi enthusiast and music lover.
The monitors’ ability to reproduce music and speech with phenomenal accuracy, transparency and dynamics lies mainly in the SM75-150S soft dome midrange driver. However, recent modifications that include the new ATC SH25-76S tweeter and enhanced port profile have brought about further improvements to all performance parameters.
Each drive unit in the active model has its own dedicated and individually matched MOS-FET amplifier, while the 234mm/9″ bass driver incorporates ATC’s unique Super Linear Magnet technology. Our active crossover network consists of a wide bandwidth, electronically balanced input stage with high common mode rejection and very low distortion.
Like the HF, mid and bass drivers, all electronics are designed and manufactured in-house to create a no-compromise active system. In passive form, the SCM50PSLT provides a broad and symmetrical dispersion, excellent amplitude and phase characteristics throughout the frequency range.
