Dutch & Dutch 6c
The Dutch & Dutch 6c is now Roon Ready, bringing seamless, high-quality music discovery and playback to the newest compact active loudspeaker by Dutch & Dutch.
As the more compact sibling to the acclaimed 8c, the 6c integrates amplification, DSP, digital conversion and streaming into one complete three-way system. With Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, Roon users can stream directly to the speakers without additional hardware or a separate network streamer.
The 6c is designed to deliver accurate, consistent performance in real living spaces. Dutch & Dutch’s controlled-directivity design reduces unwanted room interaction, while boundary-coupled bass allows the speakers to perform at their best when placed close to a wall.
RoomMatching Align takes this even further. Its guided in-app calibration process measures the system in your room and optimizes its response for your listening position. The result is more accurate bass, improved tonal balance and a clearer, more focused listening experience, without requiring specialist knowledge or external processing.
Roon Ready streaming, intelligent room optimization and reference-level performance, all brought together in one compact, fully integrated loudspeaker system.
