Description
Dynaudio Acoustics C3 MkII
Three-way passive studio monitor for mixing and mastering
The C3 MkII is a high-quality reference system for small- to medium-sized music studio applications, and for film and television post-production.
It uses the same high-quality components as Dynaudio Acoustics' flagship M4 system - so you get still that sound; just in a smaller package.
Combine it with one of Dynaudio Acoustics' subs and eight or 10 surrounds, and it forms an excellent system for immersive monitoring, including Dolby Atmos HE 7.1.4 and 9.1.4.
The bass section consists of a 30cm MSP driver with 100mm ferrofluid-cooled voice coil. The midrange is a 17cm MSP driver with 75mm ferrofluid-cooled voice coil and neodymium magnet.
Up-top is the legendary Dynaudio Esotar 3 soft-dome tweeter. The mid and tweeter are linked by a high-power passive crossover.
Want a horizontal version to put above or below screens or windows? We have you covered; the horizontal version uses twin 24cm bass drivers instead of the single 30cm unit.
These speakers are supplied as an active two-way with two DCA stereo power amplifiers (with built-in crossover cards), or a DA40 with onboard DSP (for a stereo pair).

Everything you need to hear...
When you're the one sitting at the mix position, you know that to send a project out into the wild is to nail your colours to the mast. You're staking your reputation on it every time.
So are the artists - the ones who know their instruments and their craft as well as they know themselves (often even better).
And all of you know that what goes in absolutely must come out. Perfectly.
Precision and Power: The Studio Standard
Audio professionals at an eyebrow-raising proportion of the world's most influential studios swear by Dynaudio Acoustics M-series main monitors. They know that when they listen - sometimes all day and long into the night, without fatigue - they're hearing exactly what they need to hear. Mistakes, madness, moments of genius. Everything.
This range of passive monitors has been created to meet the most unreasonable demands of power, accuracy and outright SPL. It's for two-channel work, fully immersive projects, broadcast, dubbing, big-screen... anything that requires the highest level of control.
The M-series MkII uses upgraded Dynaudio technology across the board. New crossovers, woofers, midrange drivers (Magnesium Silicate Polymer and precision-coated soft-dome versions) and the legendary Esotar 3 soft-dome tweeter mean even better clarity. So even when you're working with a wall of sound, you'll be able to pick out the details that matter.
Relied on by professionals the world over
Each model is available in a variety of finishes to suit your studio (you can specify custom ones too, if you're feeling particularly fancy). And we'll work with you to hone your room design if you'd like us to.
The M-series has been trusted for decades by Academy Award and BAFTA winners, Grammy winners, documentary makers, filmmakers and more behind the desk at studios including Abbey Road, NRG, Netflix, AIR, Quad, Pinewood, Shepperton and Disney.
That's a reputation worth listening to.
