Dynaudio Contour 30i Speakers
The latest Contour series uses the all new ultra-pure, ultra-clear Esotar2i fabric soft-dome tweeter that features the ingenious Hexis resonance-defeating inner dome, plus a new, larger rear chamber. Together they reduce distortion and gives a flatter frequency response.
In order to compliment one of the finest tweeters ever they have developed new one-piece extended-excursion woofers that are packed with new technology including a nomex spider. They are simply not utilised on any other speaker design anywhere!
The entire crossover has been re-designed as the driver tweaks mentioned above now means they are providing an inherently flat frequency response so they have been able to remove the impedance correction circuitry for an even simpler board layout.
Ultimately all this awesome new technology is wrapped in a stunning, elegant and sleek looking cabinet that provides a solid foundation for the drivers to do their job. It’s a masterpiece both visually and sonically. The sonic benefits of this cabinet are substantial: reduced high-frequency diffractions, improved off-axis listening to name a few. New damping techniques are employed from the Evoke and Confidence ranges. They are built with genuine Dynaudio craftsmanship in a process that takes 3 weeks, 11 stages of lacquer, and 16 pieces of sand paper.
The Contour 30i is a 2.5 way design endowed with two 18cm MSP drivers, coupled with twin rear ports. Also included is the ultra-pure, ultra-clear Esotar2i fabric soft-dome tweeter regarded as one of best drivers ever created.
Variable thickness across the diaphragm and aluminium voice-coils are just a couple of reasons the Dynaudio drivers perform so well. They can make them extremely light – but also bigger than the old-style copper units you’ll find elsewhere. Lighter weight means larger diameters, which means they can use more windings, which means greater control over the cone movement which then translates to more control over the sound reproduction – especially at high frequencies and high volumes.
