In an era where convenience often comes at the expense of quality or style, Dynaudio is aiming to break the mold. The Danish high-end audio manufacturer has unveiled its most ambitious product yet: the Symphony Opus One soundbar. Priced at and slated for release in late 2025, this is not your typical slim speaker that fades into the background. It’s a piece of design-forward technology that redefines what a soundbar can be – both visually and acoustically. Partnering with Copenhagen-based design studio Swift Creatives, Dynaudio set out to create a soundbar that would feel as luxurious as it sounds. The result is a 73-inch-wide audio centerpiece crafted from premium materials: a robust aluminum alloy frame for durability, sound-optimized Nordic acoustic fabric for texture and warmth, and perhaps most striking of all, a front panel composed of white oak wood fins. These aren’t static embellishments – they’re motorized. The fins shift automatically depending on the selected audio mode, subtly transforming the look of the soundbar as it adapts to your listening preferences. This feature isn’t just for show. It serves to visually indicate different sound profiles while reinforcing Dynaudio’s commitment to seamless integration of design and function. At the core of the Symphony Opus One’s performance is an intricate sound engine backed by Dynaudio’s own audio processing algorithms. It offers several sound modes tailored for different experiences: Authentic Mode to deliver natural, transparent sound for purists and audio enthusiasts; Soundstage Mode broadens the perceived width of audio making it ideal for music listening and wide-format films; Immersive Mode leverages Dolby Atmos and other spatial audio technologies to create a 3D-like experience; and Deep Dive Mode uses Dynaudio’s proprietary processing to simulate surround sound from standard stereo sources – perfect for streaming content or older media. These profiles aren’t just equalizer tweaks – they fundamentally reshape how audio is projected into your room, giving the Opus One a level of acoustic versatility that rivals full home theater setups. Internally, the soundbar is as formidable as its price tag suggests. It packs 24 drivers in total, including 6 high-precision tweeters, 14 midrange drivers, and 4 powerful subwoofers. Together, they are driven by a 1500-watt amplification system – technology derived from Dynaudio’s top-tier studio monitors and home theater components. This means the Symphony Opus One is just as capable of delivering crystal-clear dialogue in a TV drama as it is reproducing the nuanced dynamics of an orchestral performance or the deep bass thump of a blockbuster explosion. The Opus One isn’t just acoustically powerful – it’s also physically imposing. Its 73-inch width makes it a perfect aesthetic and functional match for 83-inch televisions, but it can be paired with smaller displays as well. Despite its size, it’s designed with versatility in mind. Whether placed on a media console or mounted on the wall, the soundbar can adapt its output to suit your space. This adaptability is further enhanced by a clever calibration system that uses embedded microphones – not in the soundbar itself, but in the remote control. Simply placing the remote in your listening position during setup allows the system to fine-tune its performance based on your room’s acoustics. Though the built-in subwoofers deliver substantial low-end performance, Dynaudio has future-proofed the Opus One with plans for additional accessories. A wireless subwoofer and a pair of surround speakers are in development and will be able to integrate seamlessly into the system. This modular approach offers flexibility for users who want to expand their setup over time. The Symphony Opus One is expected to start at positioning it firmly in the ultra-premium audio category. Dynaudio has indicated that additional finishes and customization options may be available, which could impact final pricing. To learn more about the Symphony Opus One soundbar, visit dynaudio.com.
