Introduction
Dear Music Lover,
Thank you for your decision to acquire Dynaudio Automotive loudspeakers for aftermarket installation. The
Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar2 Systems have been developed to the same high standard as the company's
renowned home audio, professional studio and multimedia loudspeaker products. The Dynaudio Automotive
Esotec and Esotar2 ranges are specifically engineered for optimum performance in a vehicle to ensure the most
precise in-car music reproduction possible. Dynaudio's advanced technology is the result of many years of
intense research and development mated to the highest quality standards in production and the company's
enduring passion for musical truth.
Dynaudio is one of very few audio companies producing loudspeaker drivers in-house
through its own dedicated development and production departments. All Dynaudio
loudspeakers are engineered and manufactured in Denmark from the finest grade materials
to the company's extremely high quality standards, and each must pass no less than 86
individual testing stations, representing the most stringent measures in the industry. The
state-of-the-art Dynaudio manufacturing facility is so advanced and features such strict
quality control measures that Dynaudio is likely to be the only specialty audio company to
have exceeded the ISO 9000 quality standard and earn QS 9000 certification.
We wish you many years of enjoying and experiencing music at the highest level of
performance,
Dynaudio

About this installation manual
This installation manual provides all technical specifications, installation dimensions and crossover connection
instructions for the Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar2 series. To realize the full potential of Dynaudio Automotive
systems, some areas should be addressed, as touched upon in the following pages.
Due to the great variety of installation conditions it will not offer specific instructions how to install the systems
into your car. Please refer to the operating manual of your vehicle or ask your local automotive dealer for further
assistance. To observe all relevant matters and thus maximize the tremendous performance potential of your
Dynaudio in-car loudspeaker system, consult your authorized Dynaudio Automotive loudspeaker dealer for
assistance. Your dealer has the knowledge and expertise to perform a high quality aftermarket installation.

However, the components can be damaged beyond repair unless a few ground rules are observed:
X Insure all components are properly installed and wired correctly.
X Observe the technical specifications.
X Always use high-quality cabling and amplification.

CAUTION
