Dynaudio Confidence 50i: Floorstanding Speakers for Grand Musical Dimensions
The Dynaudio Confidence 50i is the largest passive floorstanding speaker model in the Confidence i series. In larger listening rooms, it provides the presence and headroom for expansive orchestral passages or powerful live recordings. Its defining feature is above all the symmetrical arrangement of the midrange and bass drivers around the tweeter, combined with a targeted sound distribution towards the listening area.
The Key Features of the Dynaudio Confidence 50i at a Glance
- Large-format sound: Two midrange drivers and two bass drivers form a three-way system together with the Esotar 3i.
- Wide listening area: DDC 3.0 with a DDC lens reduces disruptive floor and ceiling reflections.
- Precisely tuned bass: The bass reflex port works together with a permanently attached steel baseplate.
Large Ensembles and Delicate Voices with the Dynaudio Confidence 50i
In dense music, individual voices and instruments should remain discernible, even when the entire ensemble plays. To achieve this, the two MSP midrange drivers handle their own frequency range; one bass driver and one midrange driver are positioned above and below the central tweeter, respectively.
The Horizon corrugations follow the contour of the midrange diaphragms all the way to the edge. The drivers sit flush with the baffle to reduce diffraction effects. The Esotar 3i tweeter is responsible for the fine details; a fundamentally redesigned crossover brings the paths together.
More Than a Narrow Listening Position: Dynaudio Confidence 50i
Anyone who does not listen to music alone will benefit from a wider optimal listening area. DDC 3.0 tunes the shaped baffle, the drivers, and the lens around the tweeter to one another: More sound reaches the listening position, while less is directed towards the floor and ceiling.
This reduces room-related coloration caused by these reflections. The horizontal sound distribution simultaneously supports a wide, deep spatial image.
Floor and Bass Reflex System of the Dynaudio Confidence 50i
The bass reflex port is located beneath the cabinet. Its air ducting and the massive steel baseplate form a coordinated system with a constant distance. This ensures that the port's immediate operating conditions remain independent of whether the speaker stands on a hard floor or carpet.
This makes it easier to integrate into living spaces, but does not replace the need to position the speakers according to the listening position and room acoustics. The baseplate is part of the acoustic construction and is not merely a decorative plinth.
Connecting the Dynaudio Confidence 50i to the Stereo System
Speaker cables connect the Confidence 50i to the speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or power amplifier. The amplifier must be suitable for a nominal impedance of four ohms.
Suitability and Important Notes for the Dynaudio Confidence 50i
Who Is the Dynaudio Confidence 50i Suitable For?
- Music lovers who use a larger listening room as a permanent location for their stereo system.
Important Notes for the Dynaudio Confidence 50i
- The size and weight of the speaker must be taken into account during transport and setup.
- Choose a permanently stable and secure location.
Dynaudio Confidence 50i Compared with Confidence 30i and Confidence 20i
Compared with the Confidence 30i, the Confidence 50i has two midrange drivers instead of one and extends slightly lower into the bass range, but requires more space and is heavier. Unlike the Confidence 20i on stands, it is a three-way floorstanding speaker with separate midrange and bass drivers; the 20i remains significantly lower and lighter. The recommended retail price for a pair of 50i speakers is approximately €35,000, compared to approximately €25,000 for the 30i and approximately €15,000 for the 20i, including stands.
| Feature | Confidence 50i | Confidence 30i | Confidence 20i |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Three-way floorstanding speaker | Three-way floorstanding speaker | Two-way standmount speaker |
| Midrange and bass drivers | Two 15 cm MSP midrange drivers, two 18 cm MSP bass drivers | One 15 cm MSP midrange driver, two 18 cm MSP bass drivers | One 18 cm MSP midrange-bass driver |
| Frequency response (±3 dB) | 37 Hz–27 kHz | 39 Hz–27 kHz | 45 Hz–27 kHz |
| Dimensions W × H × D including feet, cover or stand | 41.6 × 156 × 47.2 cm | 37 × 138.5 × 43.8 cm | 37 × 113 × 45.8 cm |
| Weight per speaker | 49 kg | 44 kg | 27 kg including stand |
| Recommended retail price per pair | Approximately €35,000 | Approximately €25,000 | Approximately €15,000 including stands |
Conclusion
The Dynaudio Confidence 50i is ideal for a generously planned stereo system where even the most expansive music will have room to breathe. Anyone who can accommodate the additional space required compared with the Confidence 30i will receive the largest and most powerful speaker system in the current Confidence i series.
