Description
Hear the difference: the new Contour 20i will, at least figuratively, blow you away.
The new Contour 20i was designed to surpass every other Contour compact model we have ever developed. And it succeeded.
The new Esotar 2i tweeter is, so to speak, a turbocharged version of the popular Esotar2. It now features a larger absorption chamber for more effective damping and the ingenious Hexis Dome, seen in Confidence, Core, and other models. Together, they flatten the frequency response and reduce unwanted resonances for even clearer, smoother highs.
The woofer has also been optimized. It is still made from our own Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) material, of course it is still driven by a lightweight aluminum voice coil, and it still uses a vented dual-ferrite magnet system – but behind the distinctive black diaphragm lies a brand-new spider. This is made from aramid fibers and retains the ingenious structural properties of before (the ribs are of different widths to allow for even finer control over the cone’s excursion). You’d be surprised what a small change like this can do to the sound…
And because these driver changes inherently offer a flat frequency response, we were also able to simplify the crossover. That's a thing of beauty, isn't it? No additional impedance correction circuitry is required anymore – which means an even more direct signal path. And cleaner sound.
Making a Contour without its characteristic baffle would be like a car without wheels. Unthinkable. But there’s always room for improvement – and our designers love to stretch their legs. This baffle is made of aluminum and is recessed into the cabinet. The curvature of the baffle continues into the driver basket – this not only looks good but also reduces unwanted high-frequency diffraction effects for clearer highs and provides a solid foundation for the drivers to work. A solid foundation means improved performance at high volumes even at low frequencies (though your neighbors might not thank us for it).
Even the internal damping is brand new – based on experiences from the Evoke and Confidence series.
