Dynaudio Confidence 50

Punch, finesse and pure entertainment With great power comes great responsibility. That's why these large floorstanders are just as adept at shaking the room as they are reproducing the finest of details. With great power comes great responsibility. That's why these large floorstanders are just as adept at shaking the room as they are reproducing the finest of details. The Confidence 50 stands shoulder-to-shoulder (or baffle-to-baffle) in height with the Confidence C4 the previous flagship of the range. Like that legendary speaker, it's a three-way design with twin woofers and twin midrange drivers. It's stunningly constructed. Stunningly finished. And a stunning performer. It uses DDC (Dynaudio Directivity Control) technology to form a sound beam that avoids reflections from floors and ceilings. And it features an Esotar tweeter and MSP woofers. The Confidence 50's updated MSP midrange drivers are a big departure from previous Dynaudio designs. They use a radical surround design the Horizon 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 whole playing surface area and improve performance. They also sit flush with the baffle to reduce diffractions from the diaphragm and the adjacent tweeter. Behind the scenes, the basket has been given a lightweight organic design one that's come from extensive topology-optimisation simulations. It increases airflow, maintains its stability and rigidity and reduces weight simultaneously without sacrificing performance. Everything is held securely in place in the ultra-rigid, super-damped and acoustically inert Compex composite baffle. It echoes the design of previous Confidences but brings the look up to date in aesthetics and acoustic principles. That's because it forms an integral part of the DDC Lens system, as well as providing perfect coupling and decoupling of the drivers. Down below is the bass port . You won't see it; it sits under the speaker. And because it fires downwards, we've been able to design it to perform exactly as we want it to without having to worry about putting a big hole in the beautiful finish. And, honestly, you have to hear it to believe it
