Back in the late 80s when the first Contour came out, it was more or less an instant hit because of the combination of- of the craftsmanship and the sound of the product. And it was a product that also pushed Dynaudio further into make products in the 90s. It was very much a rebirth of other products that came out in the 90s. The very first one which was a rather classical esthetical design, then they got the actual one which is like outstandingly Danish design, which I really love. And it last very long like 13 years. Which is outstanding life for a speaker range. For me it is just the essence of Dynaudio. It is pure aesthetics, simple materials and honest construction. But you have a classic. It is… It is just a… It is just something that you have to respect. You have something that is different and special and out of respect to that we decided to continue with the Contour. We update the Contour to make the third generation of the Contour. Basically everything is new. Everything has been redesigned from the scratch. So the mid woofer is, this is the larger, which will produce the bass, mid ranges was redesigned. We kept the Dynaudio DNA by using the same material, same look but all the rest is new like geometrical shape of diaphragm voice coil, high diaphragm material… Everything is new. You bring together all the people. That will be the founding fathers of the speaker. And then they work together. They understand the need for design. They understand the need for acoustics... but every design choice, industrial design choice, is founded in an acoustic need. The new driver required a much stronger cabinet built and design. So for the first time ever we designed a speaker with soft edges. It is a design which is… Firstly shaped to get the sound as good as possible and Malte brought in some really nice details, for example the front baffle in aluminium is perfect because the drivers are screwed into a firm alu-plate which does not vibrate… We wanted that extra bass but at the same time retaining the midrange performance. So it is always a trade of when you do a speaker between various things. If you do something over here, it will get different over there so you are always changing a lot of things at the same time. What we wanted in this speaker was just to have the best performance and it is very very difficult to improve on what we have done with tweeters in the past. The actual tweeter reached the performance that you could get out of this tweeter. We couldn’t get more so we needed to use the Esotar technology. If we were to match the performance of the rest of the speaker, the only obvious choice for us was to go with the Esotar-square tweeter which is our top-of the-line speaker. The gain we have in quality is so high that we wont change back to something more… More normal... It is very difficult to point out and say it is the driver or it is the cabinet. I would say it is the overall result and I think we achieved both retaining the absolutely fantastic high end and mid end But at the same time getting that dynamic bass response that we were looking for. But it is not just retaining what we had on the high and mid but actually improving on these as well. Simply better. Like everything is better. Bass performance mid-range, image, 3d imaging the look. The Contour is a classic and it is beloved by so many people because it is a very very good speaker. It is a speaker you never tire of. You listen to Contour day in and day out you never tire of it. And at the same time you have a quality that is unrivalled. The new contour is a beautiful speaker. We designed it with the respect for the Dynaudio legacy. But it is also a symbol of the new direction of Dynaudio.
