Dynaudio Contour 60i

Dynaudio Contour 60i - Kompromisløs high-end højtaler

Hvis du har et større lytterum eller bare kan lide at spille det højt, så er Contour 60i din nye bedste ven. Contour 60i lyder større, end du skulle tro. Og det er ikke kun fordi, at det er en voksen 3-vejs gulvhøjtaler i fuld størrelse. Den er selvfølgelig i stand til at spille så tordnende høj, at det vil irriterer enhver nabo, men den lyder også stort på andre måder. Her er den i stand til at leverer alt fra det svævende lydbillede af en toporkesteroptagelse til de eksplosive surround-effekter i de største blockbuster film. Hvad end du byder Contour 60i, så vil den fylde rummet med vellyd helt uden at ty til "boom-bas" undervejs.

Key features of Contour 60i

• 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

Starting at the top - The Esotar 2i tweeter

You’ll find the crown jewel in the top of our speaker: the Esotar 2i tweeter. We looked at the older Esotar 2 from the 2016 Contour, took it apart and realised we could give it a boost with some tech from our flagship Confidence range (the Hexis) and also our flagship Core professional reference monitor series (the larger rear chamber). Together these clever mods help to reduce unwanted resonances and smooth out the frequency response for even clearer treble performance.

Contour 60i is the only model in the family to have a dedicated midrange driver. It uses an aluminium voice-coil, and also has a neodymium magnet system – all developed and optimised at the Dynaudio Labs in Denmark. It is, in fact, exactly the same midrange driver we used in the 2016 Contour 60. If it ain’t broke, don't fix it.

Where the difference lies is in how it’s mounted

We’ve used more tech from Core here, isolating it in a precision-moulded cup containing resonance-defeating ribs. If there’s one thing you can never have too much of, it’s midrange clarity – and Contour 60i now has even more.

The two woofers are updated. Each has a bigger magnet system, a different voice-coil design and a glass-fibres voice-coil former, as first used in the Confidence range and Sub 6 subwoofer. That means even tighter bass, at higher volume. We’ve chosen copper for these ones over aluminium. Why? Because they’re dedicated bass drivers. Copper is heavier and provides more moving mass. More moving mass lets us dig deeper without impinging on the midrange, handled by the super-sprightly driver just above.

The crossover has been updated, too. You can’t change all the drivers without taking a look at the speaker’s ‘brain’, after all. Plus, the effect of that moulded midrange cup and the Nomex woofer spiders let our engineers shift the crossover frequency up. It now works better at slightly higher frequencies (up to around 300Hz). The frequency curve in this area is also flatter, meaning better midrange performance from a simpler design.

The multi-layer curved cabinet and sleek-but-solid aluminium baffle provide your music (which was likely mixed using Dynaudio studio speakers, too) with a robust, defined acoustic foundation. So much so that, if we’ve done our jobs right, you’ll forget they’re even there and just ... listen.
