Dynaudio has introduced the Confidence i passive loudspeaker range. Its three models all use the new Esotar-3i tweeter and are scheduled to reach European retailers in Blonde Wood or Ruby Wood High Gloss finishes on 24 November 2026.
The Esotar-3i tweeter has a revised magnet system and retuned ferrofluid. The range also introduces DDC 3.0, a revision of Dynaudio's Directivity Control lens. The crossovers use UltraPrecision Array resistors and Duelund capacitors. Across the series, the enclosures employ a down-firing bass-reflex system with an acoustically integrated base.
The Confidence 20i is a two-way standmount loudspeaker with an 18 cm NeoTec mid/bass driver using an MSP diaphragm. That driver has an aluminium voice coil and a fibreglass voice-coil former. The crossover frequency is 3,000 Hz. The speaker's downward port output is redirected sideways through its stand.
The Confidence 30i is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker with one 15 cm MSP midrange driver and two 18 cm NeoTec MSP woofers. Its midrange driver uses a Horizon surround that follows the diaphragm contour to the edge of the driver. The midrange unit is mounted flush with the baffle. Crossover frequencies are 320 Hz and 2,800 Hz.
The Confidence 50i is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker with two 15 cm MSP midrange drivers and two 18 cm MSP woofers. Its midrange drivers and woofers are arranged symmetrically around the tweeter. A steel base plate provides a flat surface beneath the bass-reflex port. The crossover frequencies are 400 Hz and 3,000 Hz.
