Description

Dynaudio Contour Legacy: Handmade with love in Denmark

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy is more than a speaker; it represents a tribute to tradition and a leap into the future of high-quality audio. Part of the Heritage Collection, the Contour Legacy embodies the best of Dynaudio, combining expert craftsmanship and sonic innovation in one exclusive product. Each pair, handcrafted in a limited edition of 1000 units, is meticulously crafted by Danish master craftsmen who transform it into a work of sonic art.

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy is a tribute to one of Dynaudio’s most famous models, the Contour 1.8, reinterpreted for the contemporary audiophile. While retaining the classic design, every single element has been updated with the latest acoustic technology, bringing this limited edition to the pinnacle of sound quality. It is an invitation to rediscover music the way it used to be, sitting back, relaxed, with the notes flowing enveloping, transforming every listen into a unique experience.

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy is the symbol of a sonic tradition that continues to excite, but for those interested in a more modern aesthetic, the Dynaudio Contour line represents an excellent alternative. This range, while maintaining acoustic excellence and attention to detail, stands out for a contemporary design that integrates the latest technological innovations. Ideal for those who want a Dynaudio product that combines high performance with a modern look.

Uncompromising Design and Craftsmanship

Each Contour Legacy is handcrafted in Skanderborg, Denmark using sustainable American walnut panels. This warm, grainy material is hand-selected, with each panel carefully matched to create a harmonious aesthetic and a natural look that will stand the test of time. Precision workmanship down to fractions of a degree makes each joint seamless, ensuring strength and durability without unwanted resonances. Martin, a craftsman with over twenty years of experience, carefully selects the boards for each pair of speakers, ensuring each grain of the wood is perfectly matched, and the integrity of the sound is preserved.

This artisanal approach requires patience and attention to detail that only the expert eye of a master can provide. Each Contour Legacy speaker is, in fact, a one-of-a-kind creation that no machine could replicate with the same passion. Only human hands can perceive every tiny imperfection and feel part of a process that leads to the creation of a true work of art. Dynaudio pays attention to even the most inconspicuous parts, such as the flared dual bass reflex ports that control airflow for a stable and powerful low-frequency response, all supported by a very solid cast iron base.

Premium Sound Components

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy boasts premium acoustic components, designed to deliver accurate and detailed sound reproduction. The speaker system consists of two modified woofers derived from the Evidence Platinum model, arranged in a parallel configuration. The upper woofer handles both mid-range and low-end frequencies, while the lower one focuses on low frequencies, increasing sensitivity and improving the overall response of the speaker. This advanced configuration required the use of a high-impedance voice coil and a specially designed crossover.

The 28mm Esotar 3 tweeter is the jewel in the crown of this system. Renowned for its ability to reproduce crystal-clear, natural high frequencies, the Esotar 3 gives the Contour Legacy a clarity that lets you hear every detail. Even the slightest touch of a plectrum or the faintest whisper of a voice emerges distinctly, making every listening experience an immersive and precise one. This tweeter is not just a component, but a distinctive element that defines the sonic identity of the speaker.

Custom Crossover and High-Quality Components

One of the Contour Legacy’s distinguishing features is its crossover. Unable to use standard components, Dynaudio engineers developed a custom crossover to precisely orchestrate the transition between the drivers, ensuring seamless sound reproduction. They used the highest-quality components, sourced from European manufacturers such as Duelund, Mundorf and Van den Hul, renowned for their reliability and hi-fi performance. This crossover not only optimizes the frequency response, but also preserves the integrity of the audio signal, minimizing distortion and maintaining the purity of the original sound.

Dynaudio’s approach to crossovers is emblematic of their design philosophy: each component is chosen to maximize the listening experience, rather than to reduce costs. The custom construction allows the drivers to work in synergy, delivering music reproduction that is both dynamic and detailed.

Sound Performance That Elevates the Listening Experience

With a sensitivity of 90 dB and a frequency response that extends from 42 Hz to 29 kHz, the Contour Legacy covers the entire audible spectrum with impressive precision. This makes it a versatile speaker, capable of adapting to various musical genres and reproducing every detail with superior sound quality. The power handling of 200 W and the nominal impedance of 4 ohms guarantee compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers, allowing the speaker to express its full potential in any configuration.

These technical parameters are not simply numbers, but reflect Dynaudio's commitment to pure and enveloping sound. The Contour Legacy is designed to transport the listener to a sonic dimension where every note is sculpted with precision, and every instrument is placed in its ideal space.

More than just an instrument, the Contour Legacy is an invitation to conscious listening. These speakers are capable of conveying deep emotions, making the listener lose themselves in the music and rediscover their favorite tracks like never before. Every detail, every nuance is rendered so vividly that it almost seems like you can touch the sound. Whether it's classical, jazz or rock, the Contour Legacy delivers a faithful and natural reproduction that transports the listener to the heart of the recording.

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy is an ideal choice for those seeking a listening experience that combines aesthetic beauty with technical perfection. It is not just a speaker, but a work of art that celebrates Dynaudio's legacy and its constant pursuit of excellence. With its handcrafted construction, selected components and uncompromising acoustic performance, the Contour Legacy is destined to become an icon of modern audiophilia.
