Introduction
Dear Music Lover,
Thank you for your decision to acquire Dynaudio Automotive loudspeakers for after-
market installation. The Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar
2
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 Esotar
2
ranges are specically 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 nest 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. These facilities are so advanced and the quality control is so strict that
Dynaudio is TS16949 certied.
We wish you many years of enjoying and experiencing music at the highest level of
performance,

About this installation manual
This installation manual provides all technical specifications, installation dimensions and crossover connection
instructions for the Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar
2
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

Safety information
As all Dynaudio Esotec and Esotar

the components themselves can not cause any damage.
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
HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
Listening to high sound pressure levels over a prolonged period of time
may harm your hearing.
X To avoid auditory effects do not listen to very high sound levels over a long period of time.

Series 7
Mounting the loudspeakers
General recommendations
In order for the sound to be tonally correct, dynamic and transparent, the drivers need to be mounted in an
appropriate distance in relation to each other. For example, in a 2-way system the woofer and tweeter for each
channel should be mounted in relative close proximity to one another, ideally as close to each other as physically
possible. Please note that the stock location of the factory-fitted speakers in a car is not always ideal for realizing
the full performance potential of an aftermarket system.
To achieve the highest level of sound quality, it is very important that the loudspeakers are mounted to solid and
well-damped baffles and that the air space behind the woofers is sealed from the vehicle interior. To avoid rattles
and resonance, it is important that surfaces such as inner door skins, surrounding metal and even exterior panels
are reinforced and damped with quality sound/vibration deadening materials.
Mounting the Esotec loudspeakers
X See the following specifications to find the proper dimensions for the mounting holes, cut-outs and screw
holes.
Mounting the Esotar
2
loudspeakers
The Esotar
2
loudspeakers can be mounted either by using the installation trim rings (recommended) or without
using the rings.
X When using the rings, see Using the installation trim rings (Esotar
2
only) on page 11.
X When not using the rings, see the following specifications to find the proper dimensions for the mounting
holes, cut-outs and screw holes.
