Everything we know about speaker design in a compact, clean, great-sounding package\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact  Yes. Compact-sounding  No.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Contour 20 standmounter takes everything we know about speaker technology   we re Danes; we know a lot   and puts it in a compact, clean and great-sounding package.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts sweet-toned Esotar2 soft-dome tweeter has been a legend in its own right for years. It s commonly regarded as one of the world s best-ever drivers   and because it s been such a great friend to so many millions of ears (and a key part of Contours past), we just had to give it another outing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe extended-excursion 18cm woofer, though, is brand new. It s powered by a lightweight aluminium voice-coil and a vented dual-ferrite magnet system, and was created by driver specialists Danny Pasfall Christensen and Andreas Eberhardt S rensen and their team under acoustic maestro Daniel Emonts. (They can hear the differences between different types of glue. We like those guys.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt s made from MSP   a material we developed ourselves, and have been using in our drivers since 1985. MSP gives exactly the right combination of stiffness and damping   which you ll hear as exactly the right combination of power, finesse and control. Just what a Contour speaker should have. But we ve taken it further: we ve varied the diaphragm s thickness across its surface, which gives even greater control over its sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking 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 (you should see the number of sketches they produced for just this part). 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd although we might have changed the cabinet s shape (square is out; curves are in), the new design tips a respectful nod to older Contours. Look at it from the top; you ll see the old baffle design in its shape. But it isn t just for show   the new shape marries those aesthetics with cutting-edge acoustic physics. Its multi-layered construction is extremely well-damped, which means the Contour s sound goes exactly where it s supposed to: forwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe ve redesigned the internal wiring and crossover, too. You won t see what we ve done, but you ll hear the effect: amazingly clear sound, even off to the sides of the speakers. We love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitivity:     86dB (2.83V \/ 1m)\u003cbr\u003eIEC Power Handling:     180W\u003cbr\u003eImpedance:     4 Ohms\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response ( 3dB):     39Hz   23kHz\u003cbr\u003eBox Principle:     Bass Reflex Rear Ported\u003cbr\u003eCrossover:     2 way\u003cbr\u003eCrossover Frequency:     2200Hz\u003cbr\u003eCrossover Topology:     2nd order\u003cbr\u003eSpecification sheet for Contour part 1\u003cbr\u003eWoofer:     18cm MSP\u003cbr\u003eTweeter:     28mm Esotar2\u003cbr\u003eWeight:     15.5kg \/ 34.2lb\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):     215 x 440 x 360mm\u003cbr\u003e      8.5 x 17.3 x 14.2in\u003cbr\u003eDimensions with feet\/grill (W x H x D):     215 x 440 x 396mm\u003cbr\u003e      8.5 x 17.3 x 15.6in\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31376354082927,"sku":"Contour20RosewoodOBPair","price":3749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0140\/4859\/1926\/products\/contour_20_rosewood_dark_high_gloss_half_profile_1_c64a737e-ef89-48b5-84e8-a117b06d1442.png?v=1754062673","url":"https:\/\/www.safeandsoundhq.com\/products\/dynaudio-contour-20-bookshelf-loudspeakers-rosewood-open-box-pair","provider":"Safe and Sound HQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
