Trusted by iconic studios such as Abbey Road, AIR, NRG, Netflix, and Disney, Dynaudio’s M-Series MkII introduces a complete evolution of their renowned passive monitor range—designed for the demands of music production, mixing, post-production, and immersive setups like Dolby Atmos.

Clive Glover, Managing Director at Dynaudio Acoustics, described the MkII models as “virtually brand-new designs” featuring a “comprehensive component upgrade.” Michael Cordt Møller, VP EMEA, even suggested the performance leap could merit a “MkV” designation, though the MkII label was retained for continuity. Live demonstrations took place at NAMM 2025 (Booth 201A, North Hall).

The M-Series MkII represents the pinnacle of passive monitoring—engineered for absolute precision and sonic elegance. Whether in a recording booth or mastering suite, these monitors deliver natural, uncoloured sound that meets the exacting standards of professional environments. With their refined performance, they’re equally compelling in high-end Hi-Fi and premium home theatre applications.

Continuing the legacy of passive monitoring, the MkII range is supported by custom amplifier solutions—developed in collaboration with top manufacturers—to ensure optimal performance for high-SPL and high-fidelity demands.

Key Features:

  • All-New Components: Upgraded MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) drivers, Esotar 3 soft-dome tweeters, advanced crossovers, and enhanced cabinet construction deliver superior transparency, imaging, and ultra-low distortion.

  • Model Range:

    • M1 MkII – compact 2-way nearfield

    • M2 MkII – 3-way midfield

    • M3 MkII – flagship main monitor with dual 300mm woofers, 150mm midrange, and Esotar 3 tweeter

    • M4 MkII – four-way hybrid for large studio spaces

    • C3 MkII – compact reference monitor with 30cm MSP woofer and Esotar 3 tweeter

  • Performance Gains: Enhanced SPL and frequency response, with the M2 MkII reaching up to 125dB SPL at 1.25m, while the M3 MkII maintains clarity under extreme power loads without cone break-up or thermal compression.

  • Flexibility: Passive design allows integration with a wide range of amplifiers. Units support both vertical and horizontal mounting, with isolation pads included. Ideal for immersive audio environments such as 9.1.6.

Availability: Custom built to order, Pre-orders open: Q3 2025, Shipping is slated to begin end-Q1 2026 to ANZ.
