Dynaudio Evoke 50

Dynaudio Evoke 50 - A powerful and refined floor speaker

The Evoke 50 is a powerful and impressive floorstanding speaker designed to impress with its deep and precise sound. This speaker is the largest model in the Dynaudio Evoke range and is capable of delivering an incredibly rich and detailed sound experience. With its advanced technology and unique construction, the Evoke 50 can produce a big sound that fills the room and gives you the feeling of being present at a live concert. With its elegant and timeless design, the Evoke 50 will be a great addition to any system and will give you an experience that will blow you away. And it also fits into any home.

What makes the Evoke range so special?

There is no doubt that Evoke is something very special. Both when you see it or listen to it for the first time. This is not least because the series has been developed and designed by the same team behind Dynaudio's most prestigious and most advanced products. Here 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 more than a fight to the finish line, and this is also the case with the 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.

Each speaker in the Evoke series has been designed from the ground up. This applies to both the devices and technology, which are directly based on their reference models and professional series. Their studio monitors are used in the most well-respected recording studios, and therefore you will find that a lot of music just sounds "right" on Dynaudio. This is because the speakers are true to what the artists heard when they mastered it. All the sensitivity, grandeur and poetry that the artists have put into the recording, Evoke will convey to you completely untouched.

Developed in the most advanced measuring facilities

Dynaudio has gone all the way in creating the Evoke series. That's why the Evoke has been analyzed in their Jupiter measuring facility, which is one of the world's - if not the most - advanced measuring room. The Jupiter room is a 13 x 13 x 13 m room with a 7 m long robotic arm with mounted measuring microphones in the best quality. Imagine the space 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 an inordinate amount of effort into making the Evoke range 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 so the Evoke range ensures that listeners can still experience a large part of what these super speakers have to offer. Both in terms of the sound, the built-in technology and the craftsmanship quality.

Evoke 50 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 minimizes 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.

Come in on a high note

Evoke 50 features Dynaudio's newest tweeter: Cerotar. It's a brand-new, ground-up design that uses key technologies from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, the awesome new Contour series and the all-singing, all-dancing tech-fest that is the all-new Confidence. Our engineers are very proud of it. As well they should be.

Just underneath the precision-coated dome sits an inner dome: the Hexis. This ingenious device is close enough to the back of the diaphragm that it stops unwanted resonant frequencies reflecting back to the rear of the playing surface. It smooths out the frequency response for clearer, cleaner, sweeter treble – meaning more detail, and more of those “hey, I don't remember there being a triangle in this piece of music!” moments.

The Cerotar is powered by a brand-new strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system. That gives it more sensitivity, which, in musical terms, translates simply to 'honesty'. You'll hear just what you're supposed to hear. And because it's so smooth and natural, you can listen for hours without getting tired.

Big bottom

Down at the bottom are two 18cm Esotec+ woofers. Like the Cerotar tweeter, they use trickle-down technology from the Contour and Confidence families to bring as much of that high-end DNA to Evoke as possible.

The woofers are made from our own proprietary material, MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer). We've been using it in our cones for decades – and we've yet to find anything that gives a better balance of lightness, stiffness and damping. If it ain't broke…

But while the Evoke 20 standmount speaker uses aluminum in its 18cm woofer, the Evoke 50 uses copper. That's because these are pure bass drivers – they don't need the fleet-footed agility of a dedicated midrange unit, so we were able to give them more moving mass. The 0.4mm diaphragm is the same, though, as is the Ferrite+ ceramic magnet. That means power and detail. It's just one of the solutions arrived at through extensive analysis and simulation in our Jupiter measuring facility.

Each speaker cone is crafted 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.

Nomex spiders keep everything centered and moving the way it should, while the new Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater punch.

And, for extra versatility – if you rearrange your room or move house, for example – the rear-firing bass ports have two-part foam plugs. They offer three levels of tuning: fully open, half-open and fully closed, so you can tailor the speakers' bass performance to their position and your room.

Dedicated midrange

Evoke 50 is the only speaker in the family to have a dedicated midrange driver, so the engineers in Dynaudio Labs decided to make it a little bit special. The 15cm unit they chose is derived directly from the high-end Contour range – which means a powerful neodymium magnet, a 0.4mm-thin diaphragm and a glass-fibre voice-coil former with a trademark Dynaudio aluminum voice-coil.

Why neodymium and not the Ferrite+ of the woofers? Because it's light, and it's powerful. Why aluminum and not copper? Again, because it's light (and lets us put more windings in the voice-coil for a given weight). That's a combination that gives our team amazing control over how the driver responds – they were able to fine-tune it to integrate perfectly with the woofers and tweeter. In fact, the Evoke team did such a good job that you essentially are getting Contour-level performance out of this midrange driver.

Simple, honest style

Creating a speaker this large without making it seem bulky and boxy is no mean feat – but lead designer Louise Dalgaard met the challenge head on. And then she knocked it out of the park. Evoke 50 was the first in the range to be committed to paper (and then to 3D modeling program, to clay model, to full MDF prototype and finally to The Real Thing).

Louise and her team were adamant that Evoke 50 had to be realistic for real homes and real lives. They drew inspiration from furniture designers, interior-design showcases, show homes, and even sniffed around real-life dwellings to get the look just right. The result is an instant classic. It's modern, retro, timeless and cutting-edge all at once. It's the kind of speaker you'll still be looking at in 30 years, and thinking to yourself that it makes the rest of your belongings look a little humdrum by comparison.

Evoke 50 is available in four beautiful finishes. Black High Gloss and White High Gloss both use a new lacquering technique that gives a gloriously deep, glass-like look. At the other end of the tactile spectrum are the lovely open natural veneers of Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood.
