Dynaudio Evoke 10

Dynaudio Evoke 10 - Entertaining compact speaker

Evoke 10 is a compact speaker created to deliver sound that is far bigger than its physical proportions. These speakers are for those who want rich, detailed and authentic sound, while also wanting something that is entertaining to listen to. Evoke 10's size means they can be placed wherever you want without any problems, and their stylish design makes them a hit in any home.

What makes the Evoke series so special?

There is no doubt that Evoke is something truly special. Both when you see it and when you listen to it for the first time. This is due in no small part to the fact that the series has been developed and designed by the same team behind Dynaudio`s most prestigious and most advanced products. We are talking about the brand-new Contour and Confidence series as well as their professional studio monitors. These are speaker series that give their competitors a real run for their money, and the same is true of Evoke. The sound is exceptional, and it is balanced in its reproduction of the music, so you can listen to any genre with a smile on your face.

Every single speaker in the Evoke series has been designed from the ground up. This applies to both the drivers and the technology, which are directly based on their reference models and professional series. Their studio monitors are used in the most respected recording studios, and that is why you will find that a lot of music simply sounds "right" on Dynaudio. That is because the speakers are faithful to what the artists heard when they mastered it. All the sensitivity, grandeur and poetry that the artists have put into the recording will be conveyed completely untouched to you by Evoke.

Developed in the most advanced measuring facilities

Dynaudio has gone all the way in creating the Evoke series. That is why Evoke has been analyzed in their Jupiter measuring facility, which is one of the world's - if not the most - advanced measurement rooms. The Jupiter room is a 13 x 13 x 13 m room with a 7 m long robot arm fitted with measurement microphones of the highest quality. Imagine the room from the X-Men movies with the Cerebro machine, and you have an idea of what it looks like.

Dynaudio has put what some might consider a disproportionate amount of effort into making the Evoke series as advanced as it is. Especially when you take the price into consideration. But they have struck the perfect balance between performance and price. Not everyone can afford Confidence or Contour, and that is why the Evoke series ensures that listeners can still experience a large part of what these super speakers have to offer. Both in terms of sound, the built-in technology and the craftsmanship quality.

Evoke 10 key features

• Brand-new Cerotar tweeter
  A 28mm precision-coated soft-dome design derived directly from the award-winning Special Forty and the mighty new Confidence series. The new motor system uses strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets for improved sensitivity.
• The Hexis
  An ingenious inner tweeter dome that further smooths out the tweeter’s frequency response and minimises resonances – so all you get are the desirable ones. You’ll also find Hexis in the all-new Confidence.
• New Esotec+ woofers
  New long-throw designs for improved frequency response and low-frequency dynamics. They’re all made from MSP – a material we developed in-house and have used in our high-quality drivers for decades.
• Timeless Danish design
  Simple, clean, traditional, modern and luxurious. All at once. We’ve made sure Evoke is realistic for, and sympathetic with, real homes and real lives. It’s available in four finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood.

A Classic Dynaudio heritage - with a twist

Each speaker’s single 14cm long-throw mid/bass driver is made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), just like all Dynaudio speakers have used for decades. They use new surrounds to extend their throw, their frequency response and their low-frequency dynamics – all while maintaining stellar midrange performance.

Want to know the woofer’s secrets? The diaphragm is 0.4mm thin, which provides exactly the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping to ensure optimum performance. It’s made of one piece (the dust-cap is part of the playing surface), and is bonded directly to the rigid glass-fibre voice-coil former directly under the Balance Ribs you’ll see around the centre dome. That means the whole unit moves as one, in a predictable (and carefully tuned) way, for a performance that strikes the ideal balance between bass and midrange.

The 38mm voice-coil itself is made from aluminium, making it extremely light. That means we can use more windings. More windings gives us more control over the cone’s movement, which means more control over the sound – even at high volumes and high frequencies. It’s kept stable, centered and true by the Nomex spider (the circular spring assembly that stops the cone moving when it shouldn’t, and lets it move when it should). And the whole assembly is driven by one of our new, powerful strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet systems.

Cerotar: a brand-new tweeter

At the top is the brand-new 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter. Our engineers looked behind the curtain of the award-winning Special Forty and no-expense-spared Confidence tweeters and cherry-picked some key technologies to bring to Evoke. The headline-grabbing component is the Hexis – an ingenious inner dome that refines the airflow behind the playing surface to smooth out its frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances.

The Cerotar, like the woofer, is powered by a powerful Ferrite+ ceramic magnet assembly. Linking the drivers together is a high-grade second-order crossover that uses the Confidence’s design with different components. So, yes, when we say you’re getting high-end tech, we mean it.

Honest Danish design

Evoke 10 is available in four beautiful finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood. The glossy versions really are just that: new lacquering techniques have resulted in a sumptuous, almost glass-like finish. The wood versions use a tactile, open natural veneer for either a warm, dark tone or a light apricot look.

You might notice that you can’t see any mounting screws. Evoke has simple, clean trim rings that emphasize the cabinet’s finish as well as the moving parts of the drivers. The rings are one-piece moulded, with the surface finish embedded in the moulding process – so what we make is what you get. Clean, beautiful and honest. How very Danish. It means you can take them with you when you move and enjoy them for a lifetime.
