Evoke 25C is a dedicated centre speaker designed to integrate perfectly with any and all other speakers in the Evoke family so you can bathe your ears in high-quality stereo just as effectively as you can shake the fillings out of your teeth with a summer blockbuster.
The two-way design has one 28mm soft-dome tweeter and twin 14cm long-throw woofers.
All-new Cerotar tweeter
Like the rest of the Evoke range, the tweeter is the brand-new Cerotar. Its based on key technologies from our award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, and the mighty new Esotar3, which youll find in the top-of-the-line Confidence series.
Like all Dynaudio tweeters, it uses a precision-coated soft dome. This coating is applied in exactly the correct places and thicknesses to optimise high-frequency performance its a process derived from our most exclusive speakers.
But thats where the similarity to everything except Confidence ends. Hidden behind the dome is a part called the Hexis: a special inner dome that shapes airflow to smooth-out the frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances that would affect high-frequency performance.
The Cerotar tweeter is powered by a new strontium carbonate Ferrite ceramic magnet for increased sensitivity, improved detail resolution and a natural, dynamic response.
Thats all a posh way of saying even if youre watching one of those box-sets that lasts for nine hours, your ears wont get tired. Which, of course, is exactly as it should be.
New woofer technology
Evoke 25Cs twin 14cm Esotec mid/bass drivers are made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), a material weve been using for our woofer diaphragms since the dawn of Dynaudio. It provides exactly the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping to balance the needs of precise bass performance with clear, detailed midrange.
Each speaker cone is crafted from a single piece of MSP. This makes them exactly the right amount of rigid and means far less physical distortion when theyre playing. It also gives a super-solid physical connection to the glass-fibre voice-coil former on the back (its glued directly under the Balance Ribs youll see around the centre), which means more of the coils motion energy is transferred to the diaphragm.
The 38mm voice-coils themselves are made from aluminium, making them extremely light. That means we can use more windings. More windings gives us more control over the cones movement, which means more control over the sound even at high volumes and high frequencies. Thats especially important in a centre speaker, which predominantly deals with speech its midrange performance has to be absolutely top-notch.
The woofer motor is kept stable, centred and true by the Nomex spider (the circular spring assembly that stops the cone moving when it shouldnt, and lets it move when it should), while the new Contour-derived surround allows a longer throw ratio for greater punch. And, like the Cerotar tweeter, the woofers are both driven by ceramic Ferrite magnets for greater control, finesse and power.
In non-speaker-designer language, that means youll hear your movie the way it was meant to be heard. No rough edges, nothing standing out where it shouldnt and nothing relegated to a cameo when it should be the lead.
Made for (home) movies
Our design department took drew inspiration from show-homes, home-interiors stores and real-life dwellings in Denmark to hone Evoke 25Cs look. After all, its as much a piece of furniture as the couch you sit on to watch your movies.
Thats why the four finishes are so relatable. You can choose from Black High Gloss and White High Gloss (which both use new lacquering techniques for a stunning glass-like surface), as well as the warm and organic open-veneered Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood styles.
The cabinet is tapered and rounded in a nod to the Contour and Confidence ranges, while the mounting screws are hidden behind stylish one-piece trim rings.
Like a great movie, a great design doesnt age. Evoke 25C will stay as timeless and thrilling as the classics youre playing through it.
The Hexis
An ingenious inner tweeter dome that further smooths out the tweeters frequency response and minimises resonances so all you get are the desirable ones. Youll also find Hexis in the all-new Confidence.
New Esotec woofers
New long-throw designs for improved frequency response and low-frequency dynamics. Theyre all made from MSP a material we developed in-house and have used in our high-quality drivers for decades.
Timeless Danish design
Simple, clean, traditional, modern and luxurious. All at once. Weve made sure Evoke is realistic for, and sympathetic with, real homes and real lives. Its available in four finishes: Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, Walnut Wood and Blonde Wood.
