This week at CEDIA Expo, Danish loudspeaker specialist Dynaudio is offering the North American market its first look at an update to the company’s Confidence hi-fi speaker range. With this update, Dynaudio brings its most celebrated technologies — including soft-dome tweeters, Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) cones, and Dynaudio Directivity Control (DDC) — to new heights with new materials, manufacturing techniques and designs.

“I’ve been doing this job for a long time — but for the first time in nearly a decade, listening to the new Confidence models genuinely gave new meaning to the music I thought I knew,” says Dynaudio product manager Otto Jørgensen.

“It’s just extraordinary.”

Brand-new drivers, including the mighty new Esotar3 tweeter, combine with a precision-machined composite baffle, innovative cabinet design and optimised crossover to create the most advanced passive loudspeaker range in Dynaudio history. Intensive analysis in the company’s Jupiter measuring facility in Denmark has enabled refinement of the Confidence speakers’ high-tech DDC sound-beaming technology to produce the new DDC Lens system. The DDC Lens; newly-designed, high-power NeoTec drivers; the innovative midrange driver basket and Horizon surround; and the new Compex composite baffle ensure that music is directed exactly where listeners want it: their ears.

The Confidence 20 is a large two-way stand-mounted speaker that features a 7” long throw woofer with a neodymium magnet and an Esotar3 tweeter. The speaker also comes with a dedicated stand, designed specifically to take advantage of its down-firing bass-reflex port.

The Confidence 30 is a medium-sized, three-way, floor-standing loudspeaker with DDC technology on board. It uses two 7” woofers with neodymium magnets, one 6” midrange (also with a neodymium magnet), and one Esotar3 tweeter with the DDC Lens.

The Confidence 50 is a large, three-way, floor-standing loudspeaker with DDC technology. In addition to two 7” woofers with neodymium magnets, it features two 6” neodymium midrange drivers and one Esotar3 tweeter with the DDC Lens.

The Confidence 60 is an extra-large three-way floor-standing loudspeaker. Its DDC technology uses two 9.4” neodymium woofers, two 6” midrange drivers (also with neodymium magnets), and a single Esotar3 tweeter in conjunction with the DDC Lens.

All the speakers in the new Confidence range are available in Midnight high-gloss, Smoke high-gloss, Raven Wood high-gloss, Ruby Wood high-gloss, and Blonde Wood finishes. They will be available late 2018 through select authorised Dynaudio dealers in the United States and Canada.
