Dynaudio Confidence 30i: Floorstanding speakers for a spacious stereo sound
The Dynaudio Confidence 30i is a passive three-way floorstanding speaker. It is designed for listeners who want to clearly locate voices within the musical action and experience larger ensembles with powerful bass without having to install the largest model in the series.
The key features of the Dynaudio Confidence 30i at a glance
- Spacious imaging: DDC 3.0 directs more sound toward the listening position and reduces reflections from the floor and ceiling.
- Fine details: The Esotar 3i tweeter handles the high frequencies.
- Contour and foundation: Separate midrange and woofers share the task of reproducing voices, instruments, and bass.
- Optimized setup: The downward-firing bass reflex port works together with the speaker base.
Room imaging with the Dynaudio Confidence 30i
When reproducing sound, it matters not only which sound leaves the speaker, but also where it ends up. Dynaudio Directivity Control in the DDC 3.0 version reduces unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling and widens the horizontal sound distribution. This supports a wide, deep soundstage.
The DDC lens developed for this purpose works together with the drivers and the acoustically shaped baffle. In the high frequencies, the Esotar 3i is used; a newly developed crossover tunes the individual drivers to one another.
Voices and bass of the Dynaudio Confidence 30i
A dedicated MSP midrange driver handles the frequency range important for voices. Its Horizon surround follows the contour of the diaphragm all the way to the edge and closes flush with the baffle.
Two NeoTec MSP woofers create the bass foundation. Due to their different positions, the low frequencies are distributed more evenly throughout the room. This concept thus combines precise bass impulses with the weight required by, for example, a large orchestra or a powerful rhythm section.
Setup and amplifier for the Dynaudio Confidence 30i
The bass reflex port fires downward. The heavy base is part of its acoustic tuning, so that the floor covering itself does not form the immediate termination of the port. However, a final adjustment to the room and listening position is still worthwhile.
Connection is made via speaker cables to the speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or power amplifier. Choose an amplifier that is suitable for a nominal impedance of four ohms; a pure streamer or preamplifier cannot directly drive the passive speakers.
Suitability and important notes for the Dynaudio Confidence 30i
Who is the Dynaudio Confidence 30i suitable for?
- Music lovers who want to build a high-quality stereo system with floorstanding speakers.
- Particularly suitable for listeners who are looking for precise stereo imaging and a powerful bass range.
Important notes for the Dynaudio Confidence 30i
- Suitable amplification and speaker cables are required in addition.
Dynaudio Confidence 30i compared with Confidence 20i and Confidence 50i
Unlike the Confidence 20i with its two-way standmount design, the Confidence 30i is a three-way floorstanding speaker with a separate midrange driver and two woofers. It reaches lower in the bass, but is taller and heavier; the width of the setup, including the stand or feet, is the same. Compared to the Confidence 50i, the 30i has one midrange driver instead of two and remains lower, narrower, and lighter, while the 50i reaches even deeper into the bass.
| Feature | Confidence 20i | Confidence 30i | Confidence 50i |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Two-way standmount speaker | Three-way floorstanding speaker | Three-way floorstanding speaker |
| Midrange and woofer configuration | One 18 cm MSP midrange/woofer | One 15 cm MSP midrange driver, two 18 cm MSP woofers | Two 15 cm MSP midrange drivers, two 18 cm MSP woofers |
| Frequency response (±3 dB) | 45 Hz–27 kHz | 39 Hz–27 kHz | 37 Hz–27 kHz |
| Dimensions W × H × D including feet, cover or stand | 37 × 113 × 45.8 cm | 37 × 138.5 × 43.8 cm | 41.6 × 156 × 47.2 cm |
| Weight per speaker | 27 kg including stand | 44 kg | 49 kg |
| RRP per pair | Approximately €15,000 including stands | Approximately €25,000 | Approximately €35,000 |
Conclusion
The Dynaudio Confidence 30i is designed for a stereo system where music at the listening position is the focus. Within the series, it offers the floorstanding speaker solution between the standmount compact model and the larger Confidence 50i.
