Dynaudio Evoke 20

Dynaudio Evoke 20 - Store kompakthøjtalere til ethvert rum

Evoke 20 er en kompakthøjtaler i fuld størrelse, som er designet til næsten enhver plads. Dens kraftfulde 18 cm mellemtone/bas sikrer, at den kan gå dybt, når der er brug for det, mens dens 28 mm soft-dome-diskant sørger for de fine detaljer. Og selvfølgelig ser dets danske design fantastisk ud, uanset hvor du sætter det. Det er et ideelt match.

Evoke 20 er designet af folk, der elsker musik. De har lavet det fra hundredvis af timers intensiv måling og lytning - rigtig lytning, til rigtig musik, i rigtige rum. Så når du spiller din samling, ved du, at du hører, hvad de har hørt. Noget helt særligt.

Hvad gør Evoke-serien så speciel?

Man er ikke i tvivl om, at Evoke er noget helt specielt. Både når man ser den eller lytter til den for første gang. Det skyldes ikke mindst, at serien er blevet udviklet og designet af det samme hold, som står bag Dynaudio`s mest prestigefyldte og mest avancerede produkter. Her taler vi de helt nye Contour- og Confidence-serier samt deres professionelle studio monitors. Det er højtalerserier, der giver deres konkurrenter mere end kamp til stregen, og det er også tilfældet med Evoke. Lyden er exceptionel, og den er balanceret i dens gengivelse af musikken, så du kan lytte til en hvilken som helst genre med et smil på læben.

Hver enkelt højttaler i Evoke-serien er blevet designet fra bunden. Det gælder både enhederne og teknologi, som er direkte baseret på deres reference modeller og professionelle serier. Deres studio monitors brugers i det mest velrespekterede pladestudier, og derfor vil du opleve, at megen musik bare lyder "rigtigt" på Dynaudio. Det skyldes, at højtalerne er tro mod, hvad kunstnerne har hørt, da de masterede den. Al den følsomhed, storhed og poesi som kunstnerne har lagt i indspilningen, vil Evoke formidle helt uberørt til dig.

Udviklet i de mest avanceret målefaciliteter

Dynaudio er gået hele vejen ved skabelsen af Evoke-serien. Derfor er Evoke blevet analyseret i deres Jupiter-målefacilitet, der er et af verdens - hvis ikke det mest - avanceret målerum. Jupiter rummet er et 13 x 13 x 13 m rum med en 7 m lang robotarm med påmonterede målemikrofoner i den bedste kvalitet. Forestil dig rummet fra X-Men filmene med Cerebro maskinen, og du har en idé om, hvordan det ser ud.

Dynaudio har lagt, hvad nogen måske ville betragte som uforholdsmæssigt mange, kræfter i at lave Evoke-serien så avanceret, som den er. Især når man tager prisen i betragtning. Men de har ramt den perfekte balance mellem ydeevne og pris. Det er ikke alle, som har råd til Confidence eller Contour, og derfor sørger Evoke-serien for, at lytterne stadig kan opleve en stor del af, hvad disse superhøjtalere har at byde på. Både med hensyn til lyden, den indbyggende teknologi og den håndværksmæssige kvalitet.

Evoke 20 key features

• Brand-new Cerotar tweeter
  A 28mm precision-coated soft-dome design derived directly from the award-winning Special Forty and the mighty new Confidence series. The new motor system uses strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets for improved sensitivity.
• The Hexis
  An ingenious inner tweeter dome that further smooths out the tweeter’s frequency response and minimises resonances – so all you get are the desirable ones. You’ll also find Hexis in the all-new Confidence.
• New Esotec+ woofers
  New long-throw designs for improved frequency response and low-frequency dynamics. They’re all made from MSP – a material we developed in-house and have used in our high-quality drivers for decades.
• Timeless Danish design
  Simple, clean, traditional, modern and luxurious. All at once. We’ve made sure Evoke is realistic for, and sympathetic with, real homes and real lives. It’s available in four finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood.

Advanced driver technology

The 0.4mm thick, 18cm Esotec+ woofer is made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a proprietary material that we’ve been using in our speaker cones for decades. It provides the perfect balance of lightness, stiffness and damping that, combined with its strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system, reproduces midrange and bass frequencies in perfect balance.

The whole diaphragm is made from one piece of MSP. Rather than gluing on a dust cap or just leaving a hole, this construction makes the cone far more rigid – and means far less physical distortion. It gives a much better physical connection to the voice-coil, which means more of the coil’s motion energy is transferred to the diaphragm via the Balance Ribs around the centre.

Evoke 20’s 52mm voice-coil is made from aluminium. We chose that over copper for this speaker because it gives the correct balance of weight and winding height to give bass frequencies power and enough mechanical and electrical damping, while also letting midrange frequencies (where a vast amount of musical detail lies) sing through clearly. A Nomex spider keeps everything centred and moving the way it should, while the seamless Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater power and punch.

The Cerotar tweeter

The tweeter is an original design. It’s called Cerotar, and is based on key technologies from our award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the mighty Esotar3, which you’ll find in the top-of-the-line Confidence series. Like all our other tweeters, it’s a 28mm unit and uses a precision-coated soft dome. This coating is applied in exactly the correct places and thicknesses to optimise high-frequency performance – it’s a process derived from the development of our most exclusive speakers.

But that’s where the similarity to everything except Confidence ends. Hidden behind the dome is a part called the Hexis: a special inner dome that shapes airflow to smooth-out the frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances that would affect high-frequency performance. As with the Esotec+ woofer, it’s driven by a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet for increased sensitivity, improved detail resolution and a natural, dynamic response.

That’s all a posh way of saying “it sounds really sweet, and you can listen to it for hours without even a hint of fatigue”. Time to get those prog-rock quadruple gatefold albums out of the attic…

A design for life

Our design department took field trips to show-homes, home-interiors stores and real-life dwellings in Denmark to hone Evoke 20’s look. It was important for them to be able to imagine the speakers in a variety of living spaces – because, after all, that’s how most people listen. They’re on a couch, with a coffee, and a dog… these speakers had to be hygge.

That’s why the four finishes are so relatable. You can choose from Black High Gloss and White High Gloss (which both use improved lacquering techniques for a stunning glass-like surface), as well as the warm and organic open-veneered Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood styles.

The cabinets themselves are tapered and rounded in a nod to the Contour and Confidence ranges. The mounting screws are hidden behind stylish one-piece trim rings. And because good design doesn’t age, you know they’ll look every bit as stylish when you’re still listening to them in 30 years.

Which, we hope, you will be.
