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 hear 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 serious run for their money, and the same is true of Evoke. The sound is exceptional, and it is balanced in its reproduction of music, so you can listen to any genre with a smile on your face.

Each individual speaker in the Evoke series has been designed from the ground up. This applies both to 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. This is because the speakers stay true to what the artists heard when they mastered it. All the sensitivity, grandeur, and poetry that the artists put into the recording will be conveyed completely untouched to you by Evoke.

Developed in the most advanced measuring facilities

Dynaudio went all the way in creating the Evoke series. That is why Evoke was analyzed in their Jupiter measurement 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 space with a 7 m long robot arm fitted with top-quality measurement microphones. Imagine the room from the X-Men films 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 consider the price. 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 superb speakers have to offer. Both in terms of sound, the built-in technology, and the craftsmanship quality.

Evoke 30 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.

The Cerotar Tweeter

At the head of the table is the Cerotar 28mm precision-coated soft-dome tweeter. And it’s one of our most sophisticated yet.

Our engineers plundered some of our most celebrated technologies – including ingenious airflow systems from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, the precision coating found on the Contour range and the Hexis from the Confidence series (more on that in a bit) – and combined them into an original design specifically for the Evoke family.

The Cerotar is driven by an improved strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system, and features the Confidence’s headline-grabbing Hexis inner dome. This ingenious little dimpled device sits right behind the soft tweeter diaphragm and reduces unwanted resonances while smoothing out the overall frequency response. The result is sweeter treble, better detail and even more clarity – and that means you can listen into the wee hours of the morning without fatigue.

The low-down on woofers

Evoke 30’s twin 14cm Esotec+ mid/bass drivers are made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a material we’ve been using for our woofer diaphragms since Dynaudio started back in 1977. It provides exactly the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping to balance the needs of powerful yet precise bass performance with clear, detailed midrange.

Each speaker cone is made from a single piece of MSP. This makes them exactly the right amount of rigid – and means far less physical distortion when they’re playing. It also gives a super-solid physical connection to the glass-fibre voice-coil former on the back (it’s glued directly under the Balance Ribs you’ll see around the centre), which means more of the coil’s motion energy is transferred to the diaphragm.

Evoke 30's 52mm voice-coils are made from aluminium – which provides the correct mix of weight and winding height to balance bass and midrange frequencies. It gives optimum moving mass while retaining the right grip of midrange performance for a perfectly integrated performance. Nomex spiders keep everything centred and moving the way it should, while the Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater punch. And, like the Cerotar tweeter, Evoke 30’s woofers are both driven by ceramic Ferrite+ magnets for greater control, finesse and power. In non-speaker-designer language, that means “you’ll hear your music the way it was meant to be heard”. No rough edges, nothing standing out where it shouldn’t – and nothing relegated to a supporting act when it should be headlining.

Timeless Danish design

Evoke has been created for real life. Our designers’ priority was to make the whole family look great in any listening environment. They took models and prototypes home and sat with them, went and scoured interior-design stores and specialist furniture retailers and even sniffed around real houses to gain inspiration.

Evoke 30 is available in four fantastic finishes. Black High Gloss and White High Gloss both use an improved lacquering technique that gives a gloriously deep, glass-like look. At the other end of the tactile spectrum are the lovely, natural open veneers of Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood – honest, organic and hygge.

The result is an instant classic. It’s modern, retro, timeless and cutting-edge all at once. It’s the kind of speaker your kids will eye-up expectantly when they’re leaving for university. We’ll forgive you for hanging on to them yourself instead. We would.
