Sub 6

High-end low end. The subwoofer that matches seamlessly with your Dynaudio speakers… intelligently. Brand-new driver design, sophisticated DSP and full parametric EQ ensure a tailor-made fit for your set-up.

The Sub 6 is designed to integrate seamlessly with all Dynaudio speakers – and it has a special trick up its sleeve to do just that…

In charge of its powerful bass response are two brand-new 24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive units, designed specifically for subwoofers, alongside a 500W power amplifier built into its base. These new drivers sit at either end of the carefully constructed sealed enclosure design, which stands wider than it does deep to help it sit more discreetly against a wall.

The Sub 6 has dual RCA and XLR connections to suit most systems and comes with a number of handy features to help larger and more advanced setups. This includes the ability to set a time-delay to ensure the sub and speakers are working perfectly in sync with one another. All a user has to do is enter the distance from the sub to the speakers and the sub will adjust itself automatically using both time and phase delays. There’s also a fully parametric EQ, including three filters to counter the effects of any room modes, to ensure the best possible performance.

The Sub 6 comes in two finishes…

• Black satin lacquer
• White satin lacquer

Two-way to three-way

The Sub 6 integrates so well into existing Dynaudio setups because our engineers decided to go over and above the call of duty to assess the acoustic characteristics of each of our popular high-end hi-fi speakers – and then create a custom performance map for each one.

This information is built into the Sub 6 so, using its display and menu system, users can choose the specific model of selected Dynaudio speakers they have in their setup. The Sub 6’s roll-off will then be matched perfectly between the two, turning a two-way system into a three-way one.

Firmware upgrades

When we release new speakers, we'll release a firmware update for the Sub 6, adding their new performance maps so the Sub 6 can work just as closely with our latest models as it does with the classics.

Brand-new drivers, tailor-made for subwoofers

Subwoofers need a different balance from their drivers than stereo speakers. That’s why the Sub 6 uses Dynaudio’s new MSP+ Hybrid Drive units, which are made primarily from aluminium for stiffness, and specifically with subwoofers in mind.

To counter ringing from the aluminium, it utilises a dual-action damping system that combines paper dampening on the back of the driver and Dynaudio’s own Magnesium Silicate Polymer material in a dampening cap on the front, ensuring the best performance.

Deliciously Crispy

Built around a 500W amplifier and dual 230mm drivers, the Sub 6 delivers deep, controlled bass down to the mid‑teens Hz and tight dynamics, while its DSP and presets (including Dirac Live support) enable seamless integration with Dynaudio speakers, with presets for many models and simple app-based control. Audiophile Style praised its effortless blend and room-correction workflow.

Audiophile Style

"Listening to Man of the Hour, the Sub 6 bass was seriously dreamy and integrated with the Focus 10 perfectly."

Pros

  • Deep, controlled low end with musical extension down to ~16 Hz, providing both weight and finesse.
  • Seamless integration with Dynaudio speakers via presets and native Dirac Live subwoofer support, simplifying room correction.
  • Robust 500W amplifier and DSP deliver strong headroom and tight dynamics, letting main speakers play louder without strain.

&

Cons

  • No automatic subwoofer distance measurement — distances must be entered manually for delay/phase compensation.
  • Dirac integration can add cost and complexity (measurement microphone and Dirac workflow may be required), which may deter some users.
  • The Dynaudio app exposes sub output gain but not all back-panel controls, limiting some manual adjustment options.

Bass

92/100

Reviews describe very deep, controlled low end and extension (spec lists 16 Hz @85 dB). The reviewer called the bass 'seriously dreamy' and noted the Sub 6 was 'capable of great bass with or without Dirac,' with deeper lowest regions when Dirac was enabled.

Dynamics

91/100

The review notes dynamics benefits from bass offload: 'the bass offload enables the Focus 10 to play at louder levels without an issue,' implying strong headroom and transient control. The Sub 6 also provided more controlled bass with Dirac Live, supporting dynamic stability.

Integration

94/100

Clear outcome language: the reviewer said it 'integrates perfectly and without any work' and that the Focus 10 and Sub 6 were 'automatically configured for perfect integration and room correction for my listening position.' These statements are direct evidence of seamless blend in practice.

Build Quality

90/100

Hardware and construction are emphasized: the Sub 6 uses 'two newly designed, mostly aluminum woofers' and a 'powerful DSP, a 500W amp.' Those details indicate robust driver design and substantial electronics for a high-quality build.

Features Connectivity

93/100

Feature set is extensive: presets for 28 Dynaudio models, auto/manual distance compensation, latency, polarity, subwoofer output gain, and 'Dirac Live subwoofer support.' The reviewer praised 'presets and subwoofer control via the loudspeaker' and effortless Dirac integration, showing strong usability and connectivity.

Value for Money

80/100

Performance is excellent but price is high (listed ~2399). Review does not use explicit value claims like 'no-brainer' or 'best in class,' so value is good relative to features and performance but not rated outstanding.
