About this product
Xeo consists of several high-quality components that are optimally matched. When combined, they
can fulll the most demanding requirements for a wireless multi-room and multi-source system.
The speaker Xeo 4 and Xeo 6 minimize your system to the essentials: The audio source and the
speakers. A high-end digital amplier is integrated into the speakers, so speaker cables and external
ampliers become obsolete. With Auto Play, connection is automatic. Xeo can be used with anything
that plays music: computer, mobile phone, personal player, video system, docking station, network
player, streaming client, TV, hi audio system, anything. The music from your computer nally sounds
great. Videos from the internet nally sound great. Even your smartphone nally sounds great
Optional components like Xeo Hub or Dynaudio Connect enable setting up a wireless multiroom
system without any restrictions to the highest sound quality. The speakers can be fully controlled with
a remote control while buttons on top of the cabinet let you switch it on/o or change the volume. The
operational state of the system is indicated by LEDs on the front.
About this manual
This manual describes the operation of the Xeo 4 and Xeo 6 speaker. Information about the Xeo 2
speaker and the Xeo modules (Hub, Connect, Extender, Link) can be found in the Owner´s manual

The Xeo system
Components
Xeo 2
Xeo 4
Xeo 6
The active Xeo 2, Xeo 4 and Xeo 6 speakers receive the wireless signals from
the Hub or Connect and play them back in optimal sound quality. They have an
integrated amplier and can be controlled with the Xeo remote control. A display
indicates the operational state of the system and lets you switch it on/o or change
the volume without using the remote control.
Xeo remote
control
The Xeo remote control can be used to turn the speakers on and o, change the
volume, and select a Hub or Connect and its connected signal sources.
Dynaudio
Connect and
Xeo Hub
The Dynaudio Connect and Xeo Hub are the control centers for the Xeo system.
Both oer a new level of wireless connectivity and convenience. Signal sources
such as tuners, receivers, CD players, TVs, streaming clients, network players,
MP3 players, or computers are connected to them. Signals are sent wirelessly and
lossless to the connected Xeo or Focus XD speakers (or Xeo Link) where they are
then played back.
Xeo
Extender
The Xeo Extender extends the reception range of the Xeo Hub. As a result, Xeo
speakers or other Xeo components can be operated further away from the Xeo Hub
or Dynaudio Connect.
Xeo Link The Xeo Link receives wireless signals from a Xeo Hub or Dynaudio Connect
and outputs analog and digital signals from its connections. As a result, you can
also connect active subwoofers, active speakers, or other components to the
Xeo system. Xeo Link can also be connected with a 1st generation Xeo Hub
(transmitter).
11Xeo 4 / Xeo 6
Combination examples
Below you will nd several examples of Xeo component combinations. The high level of exibility in
the Xeo system enables even more variants. Ask your Dynaudio distributor to nd the perfect solution
for your needs.
Xeo 2 only:
Smartphone + Xeo 2 speaker
or
Analog/digital source + Xeo 2 speaker
Hub or Connect + speaker
Hub or Connect
For a larger range:
Hub or Connect + Extender + speaker
Hub or Connect Extender
12 Dynaudio
For additional speakers:
Hub or Connect + speaker + Link + active
component (e.g. active subwoofer, active
speakers, or power amplier and passive
speakers)
This example would also be possible with only
a Hub, Link, and active component.

If you assign an ID, you can select the desired Hub from several Hubs using the
remote control.
In addition, each ID has its own transmission channel: A = 2.4 GHz, B = 5.2 GHz,
C = 5.8 GHz. If the transmission quality is poor or there is a disruption caused by
other radio systems, changing to a dierent channel may produce an improvement.
