M3 Center MkII

Product description
The M3 MkII laid out horizontally for the centre channel: the same two 300 mm woofers, two 150 mm midranges and Esotar 3, and by Dynaudio's own words the same specifications, but with the woofers moved out to either side and the mid/treble column in the middle so the dialogue sits where the screen is. Two front ports at the bottom corners. Dynaudio's page reprints the vertical M3 MkII's dimensions, which cannot both be right, so the height and width here are measured off its own front render and scaled from the 300 mm woofers — the same method reproduces the published width of the M3 MkII and the M4 MkII to within a percent. The 505 mm depth and the 65 kg are the M3 MkII's, which Dynaudio says it shares.

How to read this chart

Each axis spans the range the 114 studio monitors in the catalog actually cover, so equal distance means equal difference — and for cone area and the two frequencies, which are read as ratios, equal distance means equal ratio. The dashed inner ring is where the scale starts, not zero. Ranked within a class because a bookshelf measured against floorstanders is feeble on every axis for the single reason that it is a bookshelf. Cone area is summed from the drive units — no maker publishes it. Bass and treble reach are quoted to different tolerances and only 56% of the catalog says which, so read those two axes as approximate. Not shown: Sensitivity, Easy load — the maker publishes no figure.
