Sure, some people find our standards of production entirely too demanding. We, however, think the principle of working at the maximum achievable quality is exactly right. And all around the world, more and more people are sharing our view: There's more than enough mass production for mass markets.

That’s why, on average, a Dynaudio loudspeaker has to pass 85 quality checks before final assembly. When it has passed them all, we still wouldn't think of selling it.

We then put it in a kind of interrogation chamber, where a computer program we developed will discover any faults in cabling (occasionally), in the crossover (once a month), in the drivers (once a year) and sometimes even in the damping. We're also using a naturally organic device, which is better than any measurement at checking if a speaker tells the truth.

The Perfect Finger Tip.
The most important thing needed to achieve perfection in dome tweeters is perfection in selection and control. We take care of it. What else is there to do in Skanderborg? To this end, we wouldn't think of using a machine. (Actually we did, but a machine just isn't sensitive enough.) So we're using feminine finger tips. They test the stiffness of the fabric domes and the quality of the voice coil windings. Looking for faults in the geometry of the dome or weaving faults in the fabric. Then we solder aluminum (the wire in the voice coil winding) to copper (the connecting wire). They said it couldn't be done. But we did it. How - is and will remain a company secret.

The Torture Chamber.
If a dome tweeter shows dynamic compression at 1,000 watt input, it's useless, or so our chief tester Erik Nielsen decided one bleak Danish winter morning. So he invented the 1,000-watt-dome-driver-test.

He took a few measurement instruments and tortured one of our domes, which weighs just 0.5 grams, with a 1,000 watt signal. When it withstood the resulting forces (several thousand g acceleration, equivalent air pressure up to 5 kg) without batting a voice coil, even the usually cold-hearted Nielsen had to stifle a tear. Once again, he was proud to he Danish.

Step number one.
It stands to logic that in order to make a high quality product, one must use high quality raw materials. Hence, we even have a quality control check for the materials that have yet to become our products.

Dynaudio A/S Demark Achieves ISO 9001, QS-9000, and ISO 14001
Dynaudio A/S Denmark is one of only five companies in Denmark Certified as achieving the International Organization of Standardization's ISO 9001:1994 & QS 9000 and ISO 14001:1996 production quality, and is the first and only specialty high-end loudspeaker manufacturer in the world to achieve such certification. The ISO 9000 series has become an international reference for quality requirements in business to business dealings, and the ISO 14000 series looks set to achieve at least as much, if not more, in helping organizations to meet their environmental challenges.

QS-9000 certification indicates that an automotive supplier has developed and implemented systems that deliver continuous improvement through defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. Automotive suppliers measure the benefits of QS-9000 processes in improvements in the defect levels of parts per million, and naturally, pass these benefits along to their customers. As Dynaudio is currently supplying speakers for car audio applications to automotive manufacturers, this certification was an important step in guarantying quality to the accounts, and has also proven highly beneficial to all aspects of Dynaudio production, offering the highest level of quality to every customer.
