Dyn with confidence - a closer look at the magnificent Dynaudio Confidence 50 speakers
/Hello everyone, and welcome to the latest article from Audio T Brighton. This month, we’re in for a treat as we explore a touch of loudspeaker bliss, featuring a product from across the North Sea: Danish manufacturer Dynaudio.
Dynaudio has been producing loudspeakers for both domestic and professional markets for decades, and here at Audio T in Brighton, we’re proud to be a Dynaudio dealer. However, this month is something special, as we have the privilege of hosting some of Dynaudio’s high-end range of speakers. Enter the Dynaudio Confidence 50 floor-standing behemoths!

Dynaudio - A personal story...
As a kid, I remember the adverts for Danish bacon vividly, but it wasn’t until my teens that I first became aware of the Danish brand, Dynaudio.
Renowned for their speaker drive units, Dynaudio was the go-to for several hi-fi manufacturers who relied on them to provide quality drivers for their speaker ranges – and very good they are too.
My own experience began with a pair of entry-level Dynaudio Audience 42 stand-mount speakers, which served me exceptionally well for several years. The hi-fi bug had truly bitten, and when I heard the impact of a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110 stand-mount speakers could have on sound, I bought them – and they’re still in the family today.
I'm fortunate to be able to listen to a wide variety of electronics and speakers in my line of work, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience with speakers from the more recent Dynaudio range. In fact, over the past couple of years, I’ve written about the superb Dynaudio Contour 20i, which you can read about here.
Have confidence, will listen!

So, what do the Dynaudio Confidence 50 have to offer? Let’s just say they deliver a level of performance that’s worlds apart from the Dynaudio stand-mount speakers I’ve owned. It’s safe to say that the Confidence range is the finest series Dynaudio has ever produced, packed with the most advanced speaker technology available today!
Full technical specifications are available on our website here.

The use of original Dynaudio drivers, including the formidable Esotar 3 tweeter, combined with a precision composite baffle, innovative cabinet design, and optimised crossover, has created the most advanced passive speaker in their history. Dynaudio’s cutting-edge sound analysis tools in their Jupiter Lab measuring facility have led to the next generation of Dynaudio’s DDC sound-beaming technology, including the DDC Lens waveguide system.

The Esotar 3 tweeter in the DDC Lens works in harmony with the NeoTec woofers, the groundbreaking Horizon midrange driver surround, and the innovative Compex baffle, ensuring music is directed perfectly to your ears.
Striding confidently through music playback
All the technology in the world would mean little if the Dynaudio Confidence 50 didn’t deliver sonically. Now, I know Bonfire Night has passed, but the sonic fireworks these speakers bring are something to behold. With explosive dynamics and a massive sense of scale, they delineate each instrument and voice as distinctly as individual fireworks lighting up the night sky. I can’t say they’d blow up the Houses of Parliament, but they’d certainly get MPs’ attention if the volume were turned up!
Once the smoke clears, the Dynaudio Confidence 50 also display a soft, delicate touch, with musicality radiating from every driver, bringing musicians vividly to life before your eyes and ears.
A class act!
things are looking up with the dynaudio confidence 50 loudspeakers
I can speak with confidence when I say these speakers come highly recommended...
The Dynaudio Confidence 50 are a recent addition to our line-up of speakers here at Audio T Brighton, and we’ve been utterly astonished by their performance since their arrival – especially when paired with our Naim 500 system, comprising the Naim NAC 552 preamp 552PS DR and NAP 500DR 500PS, fronted by a Rega Naia turntable with Aphelion 2 MC cartridge and Rega Aura phono stage.
During our recent Turntable Event, we paired the shop’s Naim 500 series system and Dynaudio Confidence 50 loudspeakers with a range of turntables to impressive effect, including an Audio Note TT-3 turntable with Arm 3/IO MC cartridge and PSU-3 power supply, a Linn LP12 Klimax with Urika, Ekos SE, and Ekstatik cartridge, a Michell Gyrodec turntable with T8 tonearm and Cusis S cartridge, an SME Series 15A Diamond turntable with Series 5 tonearm and Rega Ania Pro MC cartridge, and finally a Cyrus TTP turntable, all running through a Cyrus Classic phono stage with PSX-R2 power supply.
It’s safe to say that these speakers’ performance vividly highlighted the differences between each turntable. If you’re looking to build a high-end system, the Dynaudio Confidence 50 come highly recommended.
As always, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so do get in touch to book a demonstration.
Thanks for reading.
