DYNAUDIO Music 1 Wireless Music Speaker

Product Design of the Year Award 2018 – EISA

"A Little Marvel in Its Own Right"

Don't be fooled by the compact dimensions of Dynaudio's Music 1 wireless powered speaker. There's absolutely nothing compact about its sound. Music 1 is battery powered, easily portable, and contains some astonishingly advanced tech so that your music always sounds its best.

The Dynaudio Music 1 was honored to receive the Product Design of the Year Award for 2018 by EISA, the European Imaging and Sound Association, a unique association of nearly 50 trade publications from 23 European countries. This award recognizes the efforts of talented designers and design teams who aim to improve our daily lives with a practical and beautiful creations, designed to solve a problem, make life easier or simply spread joy.

"The Music 1 is a little marvel in its own right and is a scaled down version of the Music 3 that's proportional to the size reduction," reports ComputerAudiophile.com. "Through the Music app it's possible to configure a set of Music speakers into a stereo pair. I'm willing to bet a couple Music 1 speakers would sound even better as a left and right stereo pair."

After praising the Music 1's larger siblings, TrustedReviews.com raves, "That said, there’s also plenty to love about the dinky Music 1. It’s pretty ballsy for its size, and its portability earns it a big tick."

Take Your Favorites Anywhere

No more wondering what to listen to next from your online services. The Music Now feature knows what you love, and plays it at the touch of a button. And because Music 1 is battery-powered and quite deliciously compact, you can take your favorites everywhere.

Music 1 contains a 1" soft-dome tweeter and a 4" woofer, plus a built-in rechargeable battery that will give you up to eight hours of continuous listening.

The system uses cutting-edge digital processing to sense where it's been placed. It optimizes its performance to fit (even when you move it) and adjusts itself on the fly for varying noise-levels, so your music sounds clear at any volume. Set it up from the free Dynaudio app and then just listen.

Your Music, Your Way

The free Dynaudio Music app for iOS and Android connects to popular music-streaming services. Music 1 has five presets. These can be filled with anything accessible from the app: Music Now playlists, internet radio stations, single songs and more – even dedicated presets for different family members. All you have to do is press the button on the speaker and you’re listening straight away.

It Doesn’t Matter Where You Put It

Music 1 is smart in other ways, too. It doesn’t matter if the speaker is in a corner, up against a rear wall or standing in free space: built-in RoomAdapt technology senses where it’s been placed and continually optimizes its tonal characteristics to deliver the best performance possible. You’ll hear it most in the clean, accurate bass and midrange.

Essential musical details will always be clear too, thanks to NoiseAdapt – even when the room is noisy, and the speaker volume is low. You don’t need to crank the volume to hear your tunes properly when the conversation gets louder (or quieter), and you don’t need to adjust any tone controls. It’s all automatic. All this is based on Dynaudio's expertise in DSP (digital signal processing), gained from researching and developing high-end active speakers, professional studio set-ups, and cutting-edge in-car hi-fi systems.

All the Connectivity You Need

Music 1, like every speaker in the Dynaudio Music series, can stream via Wi-Fi, aptX Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay, and can access DLNA devices on your home network. They all have USB inputs for iOS audio and charging iOS devices, and can all accept 3.5mm analog inputs too (so you can even hook up your old personal stereo if you want).

Traditional Dynaudio Craftsmanship

Music 1 and the Music-series speakers use Dynaudio’s proprietary MSP cone material in their woofers and midrange drivers (the same material used across Dynaudio's entire product family, right up to the company's flagship Evidence Platinum series). Their soft-dome tweeters are based on our high-end speakers. And it’s all been tuned by the same team who work on Dynaudio's money-no-object hi-fi speakers and no-compromise pro studio systems.
