Dayton Audio M Series launches

[Rick Sykora]

Do not tell Matrix Audio, but there is another M series speaker on the market…

Dayton Audio M Series

Two different sized active speakers with built-in DACs. Expect will see a review from Erin?

They have them on the shelves at the store, the finish is the same as the opal I believe and quite nice. They appear to be powered passive speakers.

Misses the mark in a few areas. Doesn't state sub out turns on high pass for speakers which would be ideal. Not sure if low end claims are f3 or f10, but 40hz from a little sealed sig 4" seems unrealistic. Should've just done the xover active and used a 4 conductor cable for the second speaker.

Hope these end up being better than some of last dayton stuff. DSP408 was a noise factory, gotta buy 4 of every driver to get two good ones.

Confusingly, the user manual refers to active crossovers -- which I cannot reconcile with the single input on the passive speaker.

Agree that these seem to be a missed opportunity.
