Dynaudio släpper en helt ny Confidence serie. Confidence 30 är minsta golvhögtalaren i serien.
Egenskaper
The classic passive speaker has evolved. The all-new Confidence takes Dynaudio’s most celebrated audio technologies to startling heights with new materials, techniques and technologies.
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of knowing – for a fact – that something is as good as it gets.
Sit back in your chair and listen, secure in the certainty that every detail of the speakers in front of you is dedicated to revealing every detail of the music they’re playing. Close your eyes and be delighted.
Confidence means pure performance.
It’s the best speaker range Dynaudio has ever produced, and it’s packed with science specifically developed to honour art. Brand-new drivers – including the mighty new Esotar3 tweeter – combine with a precision composite baffle, innovative cabinet design and optimised crossover to create the most advanced passive speaker in our history.
Intensive analysis in our Jupiter measuring facility has resulted in the next-generation of Dynaudio’s DDC sound-beaming technology – including the new DDC Lens waveguide system. The Esotar3 tweeter in the DDC Lens works in tandem with the new NeoTec woofers, the radical Horizon midrange driver surround and the innovative Compex baffle to ensure music goes exactly where you want it: your ears.
But you won’t focus on the tech – you’ll be lost in the music.
Experience the art of listening on a Confidence system. It’s a masterclass in audio.
Inside the all-new Confidence
The updated Confidence range features a raft of new technologies. They’ve all been conceived, engineered and perfected in Dynaudio Labs, the giant, state-of-the-art R&D facility at our HQ in Skanderborg, Denmark.
New Esotar3 tweeter
The Esotar3 is the pinnacle of Dynaudio soft-dome tweeter design. It’s an evolution of the renowned Esotar2 found in the new Contour and previous Confidence series, and it incorporates (and improves on) the cutting-edge airflow-optimisation technology seen in the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary-edition tweeter.
The Esotar3’s rear chamber is much larger to reduce resonance, damping has been further optimised, and there’s a super-strong neodymium magnet on board for greater sensitivity and control.
DDC Lens
The previous generation of floor-standing Confidence speakers had dual tweeters and an incredibly complex crossover help form a sound beam that would reduce reflections from floors and ceilings.
The original system was called DDC (Dynaudio Directivity Control), and it was derived from our decades of experience in building ultra-high-end professional systems for some of the world’s most famous recording studios.
Dynaudio Labs has created a next-generation DDC platform for the new Confidence family. It uses all the same principles – every component (including the new Compex baffle) is integral to its success – but now we’ve taken it even further.
The latest DDC speakers need only one tweeter and a far simpler crossover, thanks to the DDC Lens. This is an intricate, precision-formed aluminium waveguide that hones the vertical audio image while maintaining wider horizontal dispersion than before.
The DDC Lens works in conjunction with the Esotar3 and the speakers’ midrange drivers and woofers to greatly reduce unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling, and to focus the stereo image on the listening position.
But because our engineers are never satisfied with merely ‘excellent’, they took it a step further. They’ve figured out a way to increase the horizontal dispersion while maintaining a tight vertical beam – meaning a bigger sweet-spot, a happier audience and more musical enjoyment all-round.
NeoTec woofers
The Confidence’s all-new woofers use neodymium magnets for greater power, more finesse and improved dynamic range.
The new drivers have brand-new voice-coils that use up to three layers of glass-fibre in their formers for optimum stiffness, along with developments in airflow and venting (particularly in the bottom of the yoke).
New midrange driver with Horizon surround
The Confidence’s brand-new MSP midrange driver is a big departure from previous Dynaudio designs.
It has a radical surround design that follows the cone’s shape right to the edge of the driver. This reduces the surround’s first resonant mode to effectively increase the entire playing surface area and improve performance. It also sits flush with the baffle to reduce diffractions from the diaphragm and the adjacent tweeter.
Compex baffle
The Confidence’s signature baffle has also been revamped. It’s now crafted from an advanced composite, Compex, that’s not only very light, but extremely strong, not to mention rigid and well-damped to absorb unwanted resonances. Lift one up and tap it, and you’ll hear that it’s acoustically very dead. Exactly as it should be.
Hybrid down-firing bass port
Confidence’s bass-port is more than just a tube. Each model has a port that’s been listened to, measured and specified individually to suit that exact speaker. True bespoke engineering. The only way you’ll see it is if you disassemble the speaker (please don’t), but you’ll definitely appreciate its effect when you listen.
It travels from deep inside the speaker down through the bottom, where it passes through the plinth and flares out – effectively creating a two-port system. Meanwhile, a dense silicon port diffuser – carefully shaped to complement the flare – divides and controls the airflow, directing it out to the sides.
The whole speaker sits on a solid steel base-plate, which is always in the same position and effectively takes the place of the floor (or, for Confidence 20, the top-plate of the stand). That never-changing foundation, the constant gap between it and the bottom of the hybrid port – plus the fact that there are no holes on the back of the speaker – means you can place Confidence on any surface (hard floor or deep-pile carpet) and in any position (next to a wall or in free space) without affecting the port’s performance.
