Contour 60i is a full-size, three-way floorstander featuring Dynaudio's all-new Esotar 2i tweeter. Dynaudio looked at the older Esotar 2 from the 2016 Contour, took it apart and realised they could give it a boost with some tech from their flagship Confidence range (the Hexis) and also their flagship Core professional reference monitor series (the larger rear chamber). Together these clever modifications help to reduce unwanted resonances and smooth out the frequency response for even clearer treble performance.

Contour 60i is the only model in the range to have a dedicated midrange driver. It uses an aluminium voice-coil, and also has a neodymium magnet system – all developed and optimised at the Dynaudio Labs in Denmark. It is the same midrange driver used in the 2016 Contour 60. Where the difference lies is in how it’s mounted. Dynaudio have used more tech from their Core speakers here, isolating it in a precision-moulded cup containing resonance-defeating ribs. 

The two woofers are new. Each has a bigger magnet system, a different voice-coil design and a glass-fibres voice-coil former, as first used in the Confidence range and Sub 6 subwoofer. That means even tighter bass, at higher volume. The designers have chosen copper for these ones over aluminium. Why? Because they’re dedicated bass drivers. Copper is heavier and provides more moving mass. More moving mass lets us dig deeper without impinging on the midrange, handled by the super-sprightly driver just above.

The crossover is brand-new. Plus, the effect of that moulded midrange cup and the Nomex woofer spiders let the engineers shift the crossover frequency up. It now works better at slightly higher frequencies (up to around 300Hz). The frequency curve in this area is also flatter, meaning better midrange performance from a simpler design.

The multi-layer curved cabinet and sleek-but-solid aluminium baffle provide your music with a robust, defined acoustic foundation.
