Las Vegas, NV – (December 19, 2024) – Dynaudio—the legendary Danish maker of high-end hi-fi, home audio, studio, and automotive sound systems—will showcase its updated Symphony Opus One immersive soundbar design concept at CES 2025 in Central Hall booth 21832. After a stunning debut at CEDIA Expo 2024, the company further developed the concept and will demo the latest version, which now includes electronics inside the soundbar itself, in Las Vegas.

Symphony Opus One is a preview of Dynaudio’s vision for the future of all-in-one home audio. The high-design solution has a 73-inch wingspan, so it integrates perfectly with 83-inch TVs and houses cutting-edge Dynaudio sound technology for music, movies, and gaming. Symphony Opus One has 72 motorized wooden fins that move independently to display the current listening mode and serve as a striking and unique design element.

Behind these fins are 24 drive units—six soft-dome tweeters, 14 mid/bass drivers, and four innovative dual-diaphragm force-canceling subwoofers. The drivers are powered by a massive 1500W of digital amplification and processed by proprietary Dynaudio spatial-audio processing algorithms. This custom DSP expands the soundstage and creates a wraparound spatial effect that envelopes every member of the audience in immersive sound.

The big difference between the new updated version of the Symphony Opus One concept and the previous iteration is that all of that amplification and processing is now included inside the soundbar. This design enhancement results in a more straightforward installation process, as it eliminates the need to buy, house, and connect external components, thereby reducing the complexity of dealing with additional wiring.

“This concept is a great alternative for those who want a high-performance immersive experience in their home theater or media room but don’t want to reckon with a full surround sound speaker system and electronics,” says Julien Bergere, Chief Commercial Officer of Dynaudio. “It’s wide enough to deliver the big screen experience and exquisitely designed to curry favor with interior designers and design-conscious homeowners.”

The listening experience

Listeners can enjoy Symphony Opus One with everything from regular stereo music to fully immersive movie and gaming experiences. And they’ll get a full-on premium Dynaudio experience with whatever content they’re enjoying thanks to four sound modes:

Authentic is true stereo, and takes full advantage of Dynaudio’s half-century obsession with delivering the purest sound possible. It’s the company’s ultra-high-end hi-fi experience, distilled into a system that doesn’t require all the usual cables and boxes.

Soundstage takes the stereo mix and widens the sound field to give all the listeners in the room a great sense of space and openness.

Immersive mode delivers the full, native Atmos (or other spatial audio format) experience. It uses ingenious cancellation and sound-beaming techniques to direct sound around the room, fully enveloping the listener from the front, sides, and even overhead.

DeepDive delivers virtual surround sound from any material using the same technology as Immersive mode. And it creates the effect for any listening position, so listeners can sit in their own immersive ‘bubble’ anywhere in the room.

Built to perform

Under the hood, Symphony Opus One uses the same driver technology as Dynaudio’s flagship home hi-fi, professional studio, and car audio systems—drawing directly from the company’s decades of experience in reference-quality sound.

Its aluminum-alloy frame is covered with a tactile, Nordic-inspired fabric to blend in with modern homes and listening rooms, and its individually motorized white-oak wood fins are designed for a sleek, modern look and feel.

The system has been designed to be incredibly easy to use, with no special audio knowledge needed. During set-up, a microphone built into the included remote control is used to help Symphony Opus One sense where it’s been placed in the room (on an equipment stand, mounted on a wall, or in an open space), and then the system takes it from there, optimizing its acoustic performance for that specific position.

In the future, Dynaudio intends to extend support for wireless subwoofers and rear surround speakers, all integrated into the same system.

Pricing and availability

Symphony Opus One is still in development and is anticipated to launch in 2025. It’s expected to cost around $20,000 USD, depending on the options chosen (custom finishes will be available). Final prices and options will be announced at launch.
