Malfunctions
Interruptions, clicking noises, or other audible interference when playing music is usually not caused by radio
transmission in the Xeo system. Often, other external causes influence the transmission quality.
Below are a few tips for improving transmission quality:
1. Position all radio transmitters and receivers away from each other. WLAN devices, radio receivers, and radio systems may
influence each other if they are too close together. Test out various locations for each device.
2. Switch o the automatic search function in WLAN devices. WLAN devices and other radio systems permanently scan for
available frequencies, thus sending signals that could disrupt other radio systems. This automatic search function can
usually be switched o.
3. Xeo technology radio signals can, of course, transmit through walls. However, walls may consist of very dierent
materials, such as wood fibreboard, stone, or even steel. The walls may also contain complex cable installations for
electrics, phones, TVs, and radios, as well as water pipes and air shafts. These can divert radio signals. This is why you
should test dierent locations for the Xeo Hub, Extender, and Link and favour the most direct radio path between the Xeo
components.
4. Some electrical devices, such as microwaves, generate strong electromagnetic fields that could disrupt radio systems.
Do not operate such electrical devices near Xeo components.
You can ask your Dynaudio Xeo distributor for assistance at any time.
Or go to dynaudio.com/support to read the FAQ or to contact the Customer Support Team.
Further information can also be found on the Xeo website at dynaudio.com/xeo.

Spikes With Pointed Ends
Xeo 30 floor-standing speakers are delivered with spikes for permanent installation
on the floor. The pointed ends of the spikes may result in injuries
and damage delicate floors.
Pay attention that you do not injure yourself with the spikes.
We recommend inserting the spikes in aluminium feet if you have delicate floors, such as parquet or laminate.
Position the speaker in the desired location.
Do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
Do not place the speakers near devices with strong electromagnetic radiation or devices that could be destroyed or

Components of the Xeo System
Xeo consists of several high-quality components that are optimally matched. When combined, they can fulfil the
most demanding requirements for a wireless multi-room and multi-source system.
Xeo speakers
The active Xeo speakers Xeo 10/20/30 receive the wireless signals from the Hub or Connect and play them back
in optimal sound quality. In addition, the Xeo 10/20/30 can be connected directly to various audio sources. All
speakers have an integrated amplifier and can be controlled with a remote control. Display elements indicate the
operating state of the system and controls on the cabinet let you switch it on/o or change the volume without
using the remote control.

Dynaudio Connect and Xeo Hub
30 Xeo User manual
background
The Dynaudio Connect and Xeo Hub are the control centres 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.
