The Confidence Series is available in a choice of real-wood veneer finishes: Maple, Cherry, Rosewood and Black Ash.
Several other real-wood veneers and Piano Clear Lacquer, Piano White Lacquer and Piano Black Lacquer are available upon request per special order. Due to resolution limitations the pictures do not do justice to the fine veneers’ true colors and textures.
About the Confidence Series
With the advanced DDC technology and latest fine-tuning, the new Confidence II and Signature edition is the best sounding and most refined Confidence ever.
The Confidence Signature project was inspired by Dynaudio's founder Wilfried Ehrenholz. He has always had the ambition of one day making the best even better. A new, higher level of fine-tuning and the experience gained from creating the exceptional Dynaudio Sapphire and Consequence Ultimate Edition have helped yield this most refined Confidence II and Signature edition. Incorporating select high-performance woofers, and the finest hand-crafted wood veneer finishes, the new Confidence models have been further refined. Every model incorporates Dynaudio's finest Esotar2 with neodymium magnet. In its newest version, it is further optimized via Dynaudio's precision coating, improving the exceptionally smooth response and the authentic reproduction of all fine musical details. The crossover has been further optimized, while the internal wiring has been upgraded. With these upgrades, the second-generation model designations are now Confidence II and Confidence Signature.
The Confidence Signature models are exclusively available in dark-brown Mocca or dark-red Bordeaux realwood finished with high gloss piano lacquer and proudly feature an aluminium backplate plate adorned with the signature of Dynaudio's founder and sole owner, Wilfried Ehrenholz.
His Masters Voice
The Confidence Signature project was inspired by Dynaudio’s founder Wilfried Ehrenholz. Alongside some legendary Dynaudio classics of the past, the Confidence remains his favourite Dynaudio loudspeaker series.
Listing to his own
personal Confidence C1 and C2 models, he has always had the ambition of one day making the best even better. Efforts to
improve these models were quite difficult, as every part of the Confidence, from the shape of its sound-optimized baffle to
the premium drive units and the innovative DDC technology, already makes each model a finely balanced, inherently
consistent loudspeaker. A new, higher level of fine-tuning and the experience gained from creating the exceptional
Dynaudio Sapphire and Consequence Ultimate Edition have helped yield this most refined Confidence II and Signature edition.
Finest Components, fine-tuned to perfection
Every Confidence model incorporates Dynaudio’s finest tweeter, the preeminent Esotar2 with neodymium magnet. In its
newest version, the 28 mm fabric dome is further optimized via Dynaudio’s precision coating, improving the exceptionally
smooth response and the authentic reproduction of all fine musical details.
All bass drivers feature ultra-light, thermally stable aluminium coils wound on lightweight, stiff yet extraordinarily heat
resistant special Kapton formers. The combination of the advanced voice coil construction, the Magnesium Silicate
Polymer diaphragms and the ultra-rigid die-cast aluminium frame enables a most precise and dynamic bass performance.
The drive units are mounted onto the Confidence’s distinctive sound-optimized baffle. The shape has been designed to
reduce unwanted reflections at the corners, while the baffle itself is further decoupled from the cabinet with a fibreboard
layer between the baffle and cabinet. The tweeters are mounted onto a solid aluminium block, itself embedded into the
baffle, in order to achieve the most rigid and anti-resonant foundation. All of these efforts ensure perfect sound radiation as
well as a dynamic and powerful sound even at higher volumes.
The crossover has been improved and upgraded via implementation of the latest ceramic resistors, air core coils and highquality
capacitors along with new thin film resistors and new internal wiring. The result is an even better, more authentic
reproduction of all musical details, especially the delicate sounds from strings, piano and vocals.
Dynaudio Directivity Control – DDC
Any loudspeaker interacts with the room acoustics and can only perform as well as the room allows. But what about a
loudspeaker that is virtually immune to room acoustics? Dynaudio Directivity Control (DDC) enables exactly this. The floorstanding
Confidence models render an authentic, three-dimensional sound stage between the two speakers, even in rooms
with a long listing distance. DDC consists of a finely-tuned balance of symmetrical dual drive units, optimized drive unit
positioning and advanced crossover design, and reduces sound reflections from the floor and ceiling of any room by at
least 75%. DDC essentially reduces room-acoustical problems without altering the music signal through room correction
electronics, and without the need for visually distracting room acoustic treatments. DDC brings you closer to the music,
in your own listing room.
Designed and hand built in Denmark
Each Confidence model is engineered and hand-built by Dynaudio in Denmark. The cabinet is crafted by skilled master
carpenters who finish and polish the real wood veneer to perfection by hand, while the innovative front baffle is produced
by advanced multi-axial CNC machines to achieve the most precise shape – accurate to a micrometer. All tweeters and
bass drivers of every Confidence Signature are created through a balanced mix of elaborate hand craftsmanship and the
highest-precision CNC machines, benefiting from Dynaudio’s over 30 years of experience in designing and producing the
finest loudspeaker drive units. Only by this approach Dynaudio can guarantee its renowned quality in both finish and
sound.
The Confidence Signature models are offered in either dark-brown Mocca or dark-red Bordeaux finishes. Each begins with
a Bird’s Eye Maple natural wood veneer, which is stained Mocca or Bordeaux and then finished with a clear Gloss Piano
Lacquer. The Mocca and Bordeaux finishes first ennobled Dynaudio’s 30-year anniversary model, the Sapphire, and are
now exclusive to the Confidence Signature models.
The Confidence's distinctive, sound-optimized front baffle is now finished in a smooth black lacquer to perfectly round
off the design. All Confidence Signature models feature an aluminium name-plate featuring the signature of Dynaudio’s
founder and sole owner Wilfried Ehrenholz on the back of the cabinet.
A peerless legacy – the Confidence received the highest accolades around the world
Since their initial introduction in 2002, each Confidence model has been honoured with the highest accolades and awards
all around the world. Even within the last few years, the audiophile community has recognized the C1, C2 and C4 models
with praise and honours. Expect the Signature editions to build upon this history of excellence.
