Dynaudio Contour 20i

Dynaudio Contour 20i - Kompakthøjtaler med gåsehudsskabende realisme

Den nye Contour 20i er designet til at overgå alle andre standmount Contour-modeller, Dynaudio har skabt, og det er lykkes. Den nye Esotar 2i diskant er en turboladet version af den højt elskede Esotar2. Den har nu fået et større bagkammer med en mere effektiv dæmpning, og den opfindsomme indvendige Hexis kuppel, der ses på reference serierne Confidence, Core og mere. Sammen udjævner de frekvensresponsen og reducerer uønskede resonanser for endnu klarere, jævnere diskant.

Bassen er også blevet finjusteret. Den er stadig lavet af Dynaudio's eget Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) materiale, en letvægts aluminium svingspole, og et ventileret dobbelt ferrit magnetsystem. Nyheden bag bassen er det helt nye asymetriske kantophæng, som er lavet af aramidfibre, der forbedrer den akustiske respons. Selve fibrene er af varierende bredden, og resultatet er en endnu finere kontrol over membranens udflugt. Du vil blive overrasket over den soniske forskel, som sådan en lille ændring kan gøre. Den skal høres, før man kan forstå det.

Key features of Contour 20i

• New Esotar 2i tweeter 
  Featuring a larger rear chamber and now the Hexis inner dome, which helps to reduce unwanted resonances and flatten the frequency response
• New spider
  New asymmetric spider for increased system symmetry – and this one is made from aramid fibres for improved acoustic response
• New crossover
  Extensive tweaks from the 2016 Contour model have led to a simpler, cleaner, and even better-performing unit
• Voice coil
  Large diameter, long throw aluminium voice-coils

Flat frequency response

And because those driver changes provide an inherently flat frequency response, we’ve been able to simplify the crossover too. It’s a thing of beauty, isn’t it? There’s no longer any need for extra impedance-correction circuitry – which means an even more direct signal path. And cleaner sound.

Making a Contour without its signature baffle would be like making a car without wheels. Unthinkable. But there’s always room for improvement – and our designers love to stretch their legs. This baffle is aluminium, and set into the cabinet. Its chamfer is included in the driver’s basket – which not only looks great, but also reduces unwanted high-frequency diffraction effects for clearer treble, and provides a solid foundation for the drivers to do their work. A solid foundation means improved high-volume performance at low frequencies, too (although your neighbours might not thank us for that).

Even the internal damping is brand-new – using lessons learned from Evoke and Confidence.

Improved crossover

The improved crossover no longer needs impedance correction circuitry to optimise its performance – that’s all now done in the driver itself, simply down to the physical properties of the materials we use. Fewer components, cleaner signal path, better performance.

While our engineers and designers were hunkered down listening to everything from jazz, to classical, to metal, to electronica, the team in our on-site factory were scouring sustainable sources for high-quality materials and finishes. They make sure all Contours are furniture-grade: perfectly built, perfectly finished and perfectly packaged.
