Dynaudio Contour 30i
Dynaudio Contour 30i
Go back to a time when all that mattered was the next track on the album.
Contour 30i steps it up a notch from the 20i. Of course, it still treads the same path – one of honesty, transparency and sheer entertainment, but it puts it all in a bigger package.
Like the rest of the Contour i family, the 30i has the Esotar 2i tweeter – complete with the Hexis inner dome found throughout our flagship Confidence range and also in the Core series of professional studio reference monitors

Features
Esotar 2i tweeter
Featuring a larger rear chamber and now the Hexis inner dome, which helps to reduce unwanted resonances and flatten the frequency response.
Improved spider
Improved asymmetric spider for increased system symmetry – and this one is made from aramid fibres for improved acoustic response.
Updated crossover
Extensive tweaks from the 2016 Contour model have led to a simpler, cleaner, and even better-performing unit.
Voice coil
Large diameter, long throw aluminium voice-coils

Behind the scenes
Contour 30i continues to use aluminium voice-coils, too. We can make them extremely light – but also bigger than the old-style copper units you’ll find elsewhere. Lighter weight allows larger diameters with more windings, yet low weight, which means we have more control over the cone movement. And that means more control over the sound – especially at high frequencies and high volumes – exactly what you need in a mid/bass driver.
Sure, we experimented with small voice-coils on Contour i – the size other companies might use. The measurements said they should work for Contour i.
Our ears said otherwise, so we went big. Our ears were right.

Improved Crossover
The improved crossover no longer needs impedance correction circuitry to optimise its performance – that’s all now done in the driver itself, simply down to the physical properties of the materials we use. Fewer components, cleaner signal path, better performance.
While our engineers and designers were hunkered down listening to everything from jazz, to classical, to metal, to electronica, the team in our on-site factory were scouring sustainable sources for high-quality materials and finishes.
They make sure all Contour i's are furniture-grade perfectly built, perfectly finished and perfectly packaged.
