Dynaudio Confidence 20

We don’t think a speaker’s size should dictate how good it sounds, so we don’t let it. The compact Confidence 20 takes the performance, passion, and power of the range’s larger speakers and puts it on a stand.We’ve spent years looking at how we could improve on the previous range of Confidence speakers. And, after almost countless hours in design labs, our state-of-the-art Jupiter measuring facility, modeling and simulation suites—and, of course, listening rooms—we’ve done it.

Cutting-edge development.

Like the rest of the range, the Confidence 20 features the 28mm Esotar3 soft-dome tweeter, plus an improved 18cm NeoTec MSP woofer and an innovative down-firing bass port. Its drivers feature cutting-edge developments in airflow technology (including a much larger rear chamber and optimized venting in the tweeter, plus the resonance-stabilizing Hexis inner dome); simulation-derived diaphragm thickness; super-powerful neodymium magnets; and the Compex front baffle. The 28mm Esotar3 soft-dome tweeter takes over 40 years of Dynaudio expertise, plus plenty of learnings from the award-winning Esotar Forty unit, and rolls it all into the finest tweeter we’ve ever created. A powerful neodymium magnet system, innovations in airflow routing, and the resonance-busting Hexis inner dome—it all combines to increase detail, clarity, and sensitivity. The 18-cm NeoTec MSP woofer also has neodymium under the hood and uses glass fiber in its voice-coil former for optimum stiffness. The voice coil itself is aluminum, which lets us use the ideal weight (or lightness, depending on your point of view) for powerful and controlled bass as well as refined midrange. The entire woofer motor has been designed to harness airflow using an innovative venting system that’s been machined directly into the magnet.
