We crafted Evoke for those who deliberate over their next audio adventure.

And when they settle on a choice, we're confident they'll uncover new nuances in the music they adore. Whether it's the subtle sound of fingers gliding over a nylon guitar string in a Los Angeles studio, or the soft foot movements of a cellist on stage at the Berliner Philharmonie. It could be a backup vocal that adds a sparkle to the pre-chorus, or a surge of heavy-metal energy that sends a thrill down the spine (and possibly disturbs the neighbor's dog).

With Evoke, you'll reencounter all the reasons you fell in love with music. Whether set up for stereo listening, integrated into a multi-channel home cinema system, or enhanced with one of our optional subwoofers, the Evoke family is designed to evolve and adapt with your changing audio needs.

“I didn’t know there was a tambourine part in that song”

How do we achieve it? Through a blend of experience, cutting-edge technology, detailed analysis in our Jupiter measuring facility, and, importantly, traditional listening sessions that span hundreds of hours.

Our entire lineup benefits from advanced technology derived from our flagship speakers.

Consider the debut of the Cerotar tweeter in the Evoke series. This entirely new design draws inspiration from our celebrated Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the Esotar3, which graces our luxurious, no-expense-spared Confidence series. Beneath the 28mm soft-dome diaphragm of the Cerotar lies the Hexis, a unique inner dome exclusive to the Confidence series, designed to refine airflow behind the tweeter's surface, ensuring a smoother frequency response and eliminating resonances. Additionally, its innovative motor system employs strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets, enhancing the tweeter's sensitivity.

Refining and tuning the Cerotar involved considerable effort and lively debates. However, we believe the results justify the investment. The Cerotar's innovations deliver a high-frequency response that is both detailed and natural, offering smoothness that allows for extended listening sessions without fatigue. This is the listening experience as it was meant to be.

Ace of bass

Since Dynaudio's inception in 1977, all our speakers have featured diaphragms made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), and the Esotec+ woofers in the Evoke series are no exception.

The Evoke 10, 20, 30, and 25C models incorporate new surround designs and enhanced Ferrite+ magnet systems, improving their extension, frequency response, and low-frequency dynamics while preserving exceptional midrange quality. The 18cm driver in the Evoke 50 leverages technology from both the Contour and Confidence series, offering impressive low-frequency dynamics and precision.

The result is rich, accurate bass that enhances any genre, from the subtleties of classical music to the energetic beats of rock or dance.

The midrange driver in the Evoke 50, inspired by the one used in the esteemed Contour 60, employs a potent neodymium magnet and lightweight materials, including an aluminium voice-coil, tailored for midrange reproduction.

This orchestration is refined by sophisticated crossovers that ensure seamless integration between the tweeter, midrange, and low-frequency drivers.

However, achieving such perfection necessitates extensive listening tests. For us, the essence lies in listening as our users do, without constraints. Every genre is welcome, with no track deemed too trivial or sophisticated. Our passion for music drives us to design speakers that resonate with fellow music enthusiasts.

What will music sound like in 30 years? Awesome.

Evoke is designed for durability. Each cabinet, a product of extensive prototyping, refinement, and meticulous attention to detail, comes in four finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood, and Blonde Wood.

Innovations in lacquering techniques give the gloss finishes a deep, almost glass-like appearance, while the wood finishes feature open veneers that impart a warm, organic feel. These speakers are crafted to grow more beautiful with age.

Our design team envisioned Evoke as a lifelong companion, from your college dorm to your first apartment and eventually to your home. They are speakers with which you'll re-explore your beloved tracks and, in time, pass them on, continuing the musical journey.

Cutting-edge acoustic technology in a classic Dynaudio design.

The Special Forty anniversary speaker from Dynaudio is a celebration of four decades of advanced research, updated with the company's most iconic techniques and technologies. This isn't about introducing something revolutionary; rather, it offers a reflection on Dynaudio's history while also providing a glimpse into future innovations.

True to Dynaudio's heritage, the Special Forty exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep passion for genuine sound that fans have come to expect. It represents the choice for aficionados: a straightforward pair of passive hi-fi speakers that honors the brand's legacy. However, this speaker doesn't just dwell on past achievements; it leverages them as a foundation to propel forward into new technological advancements.

Greatest hits… reimagined

We excel in creating compact speakers, a tradition we've upheld with pride. In homage to iconic models like the Special One, the Special Twenty-Five, the Crafft, and the Contour 1.3SE, we've ensured the Special Forty remains authentic, yet it's packed with sophisticated advancements.

An anniversary speaker wouldn't be complete without incorporating some of our most significant achievements. However, we haven't simply reunited the old hits without change. We've updated, enhanced, and reconfigured them to transition seamlessly into 2017 and beyond.

This is evident in the Special Forty's use of one of our hallmark first-order crossover designs, featuring our exclusive Phase Alignment and Impedance Alignment technologies. This design meticulously manages the signal flow between the woofer and tweeter, ensuring each driver receives precisely the frequencies it's designed to handle and performs optimally. The carefully chosen components optimize impedance, and with both drivers boasting extended frequency ranges for improved overlap and integration, the outcome is nearly spellbinding

The song remains the same

The Special Forty features a driver made from Dynaudio's exclusive MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) material, chosen for its ideal blend of stiffness, damping, and stability that ensures the most accurate sound reproduction. Distinctly, MSP's properties do not deteriorate over time, guaranteeing that the Special Forty speakers will perform just as excellently in the future as they do today.

The driver's cone is engineered with a meticulously developed symmetrical excursion, enhancing midrange performance. It's supported by an asymmetrical spider, acting as a passive harmonic rectifier, which reduces upper harmonics and refines the sound. This precision allows for the distinct recognition of individual parts within a musical composition, and even specific instruments within an orchestra, spotlighting performances such as those by the Third Violin section. The cone, a one-piece MSP design identifiable by special balance ribs around the central dust cap, ensures a robust connection to the voice coil and maintains its shape, especially important at higher volumes.

This assembly is anchored within Dynaudio's innovative AirFlow Basket, which secures the driver motor in the cabinet. The development of the AirFlow Basket represents a significant breakthrough by Dynaudio engineers, tasked with minimizing internal reflections and enhancing air movement without sacrificing the basket's rigidity or stability. Their solution is a testament to Dynaudio's commitment to continuous innovation and excellence in speaker design.

Airflow is king

The Esotar Forty tweeter introduces an advanced level of air manipulation. While it elegantly directs air with its Dynaudio Secret Recipe (DSR) precision-coated soft dome, the true marvel lies in the engineering behind the scenes.

Consider the innovative pressure conduit. This is a strategically designed vent at the back of the hybrid magnet system, which expands the space in the rear chamber. This extra space allows for the inclusion of additional damping material, diminishing back-pressure, and the vent's design itself enhances the flow of air from behind the dome.

Additionally, the tweeter features an aero-coupled pressure-release system located beneath the voice coil. This system effectively mitigates unwanted pressure accumulation that could impair the coil's movement. By preventing the formation of these air pockets, resonance is significantly reduced, leading to an even greater capacity for uncovering subtle details.

Flux optimisation and beam control

We enjoy challenging the laws of physics. Ultimately, physics has the final say (most of the time), but we frequently succeed in shaping it to our advantage, as demonstrated by our work with magnet systems.

The magnet system converts the electrical energy from your amplifier, channeled into the voice-coil, into the physical oscillations of the driver diaphragm. These oscillations are minuscule and rapid (particularly in the tweeter), requiring a delicate touch to fully capture the rich detail and emotion in your music.

Behind the woofer

IIn the woofer, we've refined our approach in two key ways: by integrating the magnet within the voice-coil, and by ingeniously manipulating magnetic energy.

Contrary to the common practice among other manufacturers of encircling the voice-coil's outer edge with the magnet, leaving the voice-coil itself empty, we position the magnet internally. This placement ensures the magnetic energy (or flux) is optimally concentrated around the voice-coil, where it's most effective. This strategy allows for a more efficient use of the magnet's power relative to its weight and minimizes internal sound reflections due to reduced material within the driver.

Additionally, we utilize a hybrid magnet system to achieve precise control over the flux and the movement of the voice-coil. A potent neodymium rare-earth magnet provides substantial force, distributing flux liberally, while a ferrite magnet moderates this force, directing the flux back to where it's needed most. The outcome is a symmetrical movement of the diaphragm, a decrease in second-harmonics, and a further enhancement in the accuracy and authenticity of the sound produced.

Box clever

Regarding the finish, whether you choose Grey Birch or Red Birch, our designers have crafted something exceptional for you. Our special anniversary speakers have always featured remarkable finishes, from the exquisite bird’s-eye maple of the Contour 1.3 SE, to the breathtaking burled birch of the Special Twenty-Five, and the extraordinary Mocca, Bordeaux, and Ivory veneers of the Sapphire. The Special Forty elevates this tradition even further. We challenged our team to innovate beyond what we've previously accomplished, and they embraced this challenge wholeheartedly. As a result, the finishes are raw, visceral, and striking. Our goal was for the Special Forty to visually embody the authenticity and honesty of the music they reproduce.

Enjoy the party!
