Second Hand Dynaudio EMIT M30, Floorstanding Speakers

If you’re looking for a little more power from your system, you’ve found it. Emit 30 is a compact two-and-a-half-way speaker designed to impress whether used as a stand-alone stereo pair or as part of a 5.1-channel (or more) home cinema.

Like its little brother, Emit 10, it uses 14cm MSP woofers similar to those used in the Evoke series – this time doubled-up in each speaker for more low-frequency muscle, plus midrange clarity and punch. MSP stands for Magnesium Silicate Polymer. It’s a material we developed in-house for our woofer cones and have used for decades – including on our most-lauded high-end models. MSP provides the right combination of lightness, stiffness, and damping (the one we’ve tuned and honed over the years) to deliver control and outright power exactly where needed.

Premium Woofer Technology

The cones are molded in one piece; we don’t use a separate glued dust cap. The little balance ribs around the edge of the center are bonded directly to the voice coil behind it, making the whole motor assembly one solid piece. Using fewer moving parts gives our engineers fine control over how the speaker moves, which, in turn, means fine control over how it performs. You’ll hear it as robust and tight bass, startlingly clear vocals, guitars, and more, even at an eyebrow-raising volume.

Each woofer is powered by a dual-stacked strontium carbonite Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system. Using two magnets means we can more effectively direct where the magnetic energy goes – a lesson we learned developing the award-winning Special Forty anniversary series. It’s thrilling to be able to use it in our entry-level family.

The target for all that flux is the voice coil. We use aluminium windings in Emit 30. Aluminium is light (which minimises inertia on the cone’s back-and-forth movement). Because it’s lighter than copper wire, we can pack more windings onto the two-layer glass-fiber former. More windings equal more power and greater control over fine movement. There’s a twist, though (please pardon the pun): we’ve coated the aluminium wire with a very thin copper coating to further increase the amplifier's control on the voice coil. More force with only a fractional weight gain: win-win.

High-Performance Cerotar Tweeter

While the twin 14cm mid/bass units deal with the… well, midrange, and bass… the tweeter handles the upper frequencies. Emit might be an ‘entry-level’ speaker, but we certainly haven’t used any old unit off the shelf; witness the incredible Cerotar tweeter (the same as we use in Evoke). It’s based on the Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the Esotar Pro found in our Core studio reference speakers and must be heard to be believed.

The clever Hexis inner dome backs up the 28mm coated soft-dome diaphragm. The playing surface has been specifically engineered to produce ultra-clear, ultra-detailed high-frequencies without breakup (even at high volumes), while the Hexis smooths the airflow behind it to reduce unwanted resonances. An aluminium voice-coil and airflow magnet system provide power. Creator is designed for high performance without listener fatigue – perfect if you’re given long listening sessions (and you’re a music lover, so we bet you are).

The bass port on the back panel has dual flares (one inside; one outside), and has been tuned to minimise unwanted ‘chuffing’. It’s supplied with foam inserts that can optimise performance for the speaker’s position relative to the wall.

Danish-Designed Cabinetry

Emit 30’s cabinets are made from 18mm MDF to provide a solid, stable platform for the drivers to work on. They’re internally damped with polyester fiber, measured down to the gram, for exactly the right amount of resonance suppression.

On the outside, you can choose from three custom laminate finishes: Black, White, or Walnut. They’ve been chosen to complement any room and configuration (so if you’re mixing and matching Emit speakers in a home cinema system, you can make them stand out or blend in as you want).

Emit 30: powerful floorstander performance in a compact package. If you want to take your listening to the next level, they’ll make your collection sing.
