Dynaudio Evoke 20 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

It's true that you can t have too much of a good thing. Try as you might, some good things just won t fit in your living room but Evoke 20 will.

Evoke 20 is a full-size stand-mounted speaker designed for almost any sized space. Its powerful 18cm mid/bass driver ensures it can flex its muscles when there s heavy lifting to be done, while its 28mm soft-dome tweeter takes care of the fine detail. And, of course, its Danish design looks fantastic wherever you put it. It s an ideal match.

Evoke 20 has been designed by people who love music. They ve crafted it from hundreds of hours of intensive measuring and listening real listening, to real music, in real rooms. So when you play your collection, you know you re hearing what they heard something new.

Advanced driver technology

The 0.4mm thick, 18cm Esotec+ woofer is made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a proprietary material that we ve been using in our speaker cones for decades. It provides the perfect balance of lightness, stiffness and damping that, combined with its new strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system, reproduces midrange and bass frequencies in perfect balance.

The whole diaphragm is made from one piece of MSP. Rather than gluing on a dust cap or just leaving a hole, this construction makes the cone far more rigid and means far less physical distortion. It gives a much better physical connection to the voice-coil, which means more of the coil s motion energy is transferred to the diaphragm via the Balance Ribs around the center.

Evoke 20 s 52mm voice-coil is made from aluminum. We chose that over copper for this speaker because it gives the correct balance of weight and winding height to give bass frequencies power and enough mechanical and electrical damping, while also letting midrange frequencies (where a vast amount of musical detail lies) sing through clearly.

A Nomex spider keeps everything centered and moving the way it should, while the new, seamless Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater power and punch.

The all-new Cerotar tweeter

The tweeter is brand new. It s called Cerotar, and is based on key technologies from our award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the mighty new Esotar3, which you ll find in the top-of-the-line Confidence series.

Like all our other tweeters, it s a 28mm unit and uses a precision-coated soft dome. This coating is applied in exactly the correct places and thicknesses to optimize high-frequency performance it s a process derived from the development of our most exclusive speakers.

But that s where the similarity to everything except Confidence ends. Hidden behind the dome is a part called the Hexis: a special inner dome that shapes airflow to smooth-out the frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances that would affect high-frequency performance.
