Esotar3 高音揚聲器
Esotar3 tweeter
Esotar3 是 Dynaudio 絲質軟半球高音設計的極致之作。它是源於 2016 年 Contour 系列和先前的 Confidence 系列中那已備受推崇的 Esotar2 的進化，並深深蘊含了在獲獎的 Esotar Forty 週年紀念版高音揚聲器中呈現的氣流最佳化技術。
Esotar3 的腔室空間極大，以便減少共振，其阻尼同時進一步優化，並配備了超強的鈦磁體，以實現更佳的靈敏度與精密控制力。
更低的共振頻率伴隨著高音揚聲器與中音驅動器之間的頻率重疊更趨淺薄，你將會察覺到高音與中音之間的緊密結合 – 或者以音樂來表達，您所聆聽的音樂將不會像是被劃分為特定的”低音提琴”（低頻），”小號”（中頻），”三角鐵”（高頻）等音域。您將會體驗到完美的相位呈現，猶如在鮮亮的色彩中傾聽一般。
所有這些技術革新都源自我們的工程師開拓了嶄新的可能性，打造了一個不需要散熱鐵電磁流體的高音揚聲器。在以往的 Esotar 高音揚聲器中，我們一直都使用散熱鐵電磁流體。進化到 Esotar 3，更強大的磁鐵和 DDC Lens 的結合讓高音揚聲器的敏感度變得更高。敏感度的提升讓高音揚聲器不需要過高的輸入電壓就能有出色表現。隨著更低的輸入電壓，揚聲器也不會像過去那樣快速升溫，因此它能以更清晰的音質，播放更大的音量且更持久。
Esotar3 內部同時也隱藏了一件特殊的部件，那就是「Hexis」。這個小型成內圓頂取代了 Esotar2 的氈環，以便可對共振有更佳的控制，同時平緩高頻反應。
在有了 Hexis 之前，我們在高音圓頂後的腔室中使用了氈環，這對於減少縱有可能反彈到高音揚聲器後方以及可能影響其輸出的多餘共振極為有效。然而，經過深入的測量和研究，Hexis 的凹凸塑膠內圓頂消除了這些不必要的靜止波，同時在音樂信號停止時阻止驅動器移動的功能上表現非凡．如果圓頂的共振被消除，時間相位精準度將會得到提升且更趨完美，細節也將得到昇華。並且在 Jupiter聲學實驗室中，它受到無與倫比的模擬、測試與最佳化調教！從而孕育出了更高的細節解析度，以及更棒的動態， Esotar3 是 Dynaudio 所生產出最好的高音揚聲器。
The Esotar3 is the pinnacle of Dynaudio soft-dome tweeter design. It’s an evolution of the renowned Esotar2 found in the 2016 Contour and previous Confidence series, and it incorporates (and improves on) the cutting-edge airflow-optimisation technology seen in the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary-edition tweeter.
The Esotar3’s rear chamber is much larger to reduce resonance, damping has been further optimised, and there’s a super-strong neodymium magnet on board for greater sensitivity and control.
A lower resonant frequency means a shallower frequency overlap between the tweeter and the midrange driver, which you’ll hear as better integration between treble and mids – or, to put it in musical terms – whatever you’re listening to won’t sound as if it’s been divided into distinct ‘double-bass’, ‘trumpet’, ‘triangle’ areas. You get the whole picture; it’s like listening in enhanced colour.
All these design changes mean our engineers were able to experiment with creating a tweeter that doesn’t need heat-dissipating ferrofluid (which has been used in every Esotar tweeter up to now). In the Esotar 3, the combination of the more powerful magnet and the presence of the DDC Lens (see below) means a higher tweeter sensitivity. More sensitivity means the tweeter can react with a lower input voltage. And that means it doesn’t get hot as fast – so it can play louder, just as clearly, for longer.
There’s also a special component inside: the Hexis. This is a small inner dome that replaces the Esotar2’s felt ring for even greater control over resonances, while also smoothing out the high frequency response.
Before the Hexis, we used a felt ring in the cavity behind the tweeter dome. This did a fantastic job of reducing unwanted resonances that would bounce back to the rear of the tweeter and affect its ouput. However, thorough measuring showed that we could do better when it came to avoiding absorbing high-frequencies (something felt is also very good at, as you can imagine).
The dimpled plastic inner dome of the Hexis eliminates those unwanted standing waves, as well as doing some incredibly clever work when it comes to stopping driver movement the moment the music signal stops. If dome resonance is halted, timing improves, imaging improves, detail improves… and so does your listening experience. And – of course – it was meticulously simulated, tested and refined in Jupiter.
The effect of all this? Higher detail-resolution, improved clarity and even better dynamics. Quite simply, The Esotar3 is the best tweeter Dynaudio has ever produced.
DDC Lens
先前世代的 Confidence 落地揚聲器，裝備了一對精巧的高音揚聲器和一個極其複雜的分音網路，這些元素共同塑造成一股音符的瀑布，以系統化的手法最大程度降低從地板和天花板反射的聲波。
這麼聰穎的聲波控制技術是如此的精妙！想像著您坐在一個寬敞的房間裡，周遭佈滿了堅硬的牆面，您最不希望看到的就是揚聲器所發的聲音在抵達您的耳朵之前，被周邊環境中的物體反射因而造成干擾。房間本身的特性可能會令原始音質改變，所以您所聽到的聲音可能並不能真正反映揚聲器所發出的音符。
將這些聲波雕塑成一束筆直的音符光束，直指聆聽位置，能有效的避免複雜且昂貴的空間環境處理。
此種初始的設計被賦予了 DDC（Dynaudio 指向性控制）系統的名字，這源於我們長時間以來的豐厚經驗，在製作超高端的專業系統的經驗中，這些系統被放置在我們全世界最頂級的錄音工作室內。
Dynaudio 的研發團隊為這個新的 Confidence 系列打造了全新一代的 DDC 系統。它遵循了我們一貫成功的原則，每個元素（包括 Compex 聲音隔板）都是成功的一部分。現在，我們已經達到了新的高度，升華了我們的技術與設計，只為將最好的呈現給每一位音響饕客。
最新的 DDC 系統僅需一個高音揚聲器及一個簡單的分音器，這得感謝 DDC 光譜（DDC Lens）。這是一個複雜的精確鋁製波導儀，它把垂直音像定焦，同時也使得橫向輻射尺度更大。
DDC Lens、Esotar3 以及揚聲器的中頻驅動器和低音揚聲器一同工作，大幅度減少了地板和天花板的不必要的反射，將立體的音效像焦聚在聆聽位置。
然而我們的工程師們，他們不受制於僅僅”卓越”這個概念，他們更想進一步。他們找出了一種方法可以在同時維持緊緻的垂直束，以擴大橫向輻射範圍——這意味著一個更大的聽音愉悅區域， 更多的聽眾會感到滿意，能享受到音樂盡頭。
開發 DDC Lens 的過程其實是非常徹底和科學的。起初，團隊利用電腦模擬和設計過程，創建出最原始的模型，透過了這種最先進的技術，提供大量的原始數據。再者，他們使用 3D 列印技術把這個電腦模型變成真實的原型機。
他們不僅在電腦中模擬，實體模型也在實驗室懸掛在 6 公尺高的空中，讓音響在足夠的空間裡散播，以環狀麥克風陣列來監測音波的擴散狀況，確保能將音波準確地導向所需的方向。
最後，他們還會用人耳來判斷音質，實際聽取其播放的音樂，相當於最後一道嚴謹的品質檢驗。然後再對音響進行後期的調整和優化，以追求更好的效果。經過這一系列的嚴格的工藝和測試，DDC Lens 才最終以我們現在所看到的形狀呈現在我們面前。這個形狀是爲了音效塑造的必要——如同所有精妙的工程設計，正確的解決方案往往不只解決問題，也會帶來驚豔的視覺美感。
The previous generation of floor-standing Confidence speakers had dual tweeters and an incredibly complex crossover help form a sound beam that would reduce reflections from floors and ceilings.
Why a sound-beam? Because if you’re sitting in a larger room, likely one with a lot of hard surfaces, you don’t want the soundwaves coming from the speakers to bounce off anything before they reach your ears. The room itself would colour the performance – so what you heard wouldn’t be exactly what the drivers were producing.
Shaping those soundwaves into a focussed beam that shoots straight to the listening position effectively removes the need for complicated, expensive (and potentially ugly) room-treatment.
The original system was called DDC (Dynaudio Directivity Control), and it was derived from our decades of experience in building ultra-high-end professional systems for some of the world’s most famous recording studios.
Dynaudio Labs has created a next-generation DDC platform for the updated Confidence family. It uses all the same principles – every component (including the Compex baffle) is integral to its success – but now we’ve taken it even further.
The latest DDC speakers need only one tweeter and a far simpler crossover, thanks to the DDC Lens. This is an intricate, precision-formed aluminium waveguide that hones the vertical audio image while maintaining wider horizontal dispersion than before.
The DDC Lens works in conjunction with the Esotar3 and the speakers’ midrange drivers and woofers to greatly reduce unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling, and to focus the stereo image on the listening position.
But because our engineers are never satisfied with merely ‘excellent’, they took it a step further. They’ve figured out a way to increase the horizontal dispersion while maintaining a tight vertical beam – meaning a bigger sweet-spot, a happier audience and more musical enjoyment all-round.
During development, the DDC Lens was computer-simulated, modelled and 3D printed in a mind-boggling array of combinations. It was slotted into prototype speakers, hoisted 6m into the air in our Jupiter measuring facility, and painstakingly analysed. Then it was listened to, with real ears and real music, before being refined again. And again. Finally, after an extensive prototyping process, it emerged in this exact shape. It’s a shape borne of acoustic necessity – and, as is often the case with all things engineering, the correct solution is often the best-looking one.
NeoTec 低音揚聲單體
NeoTec woofers
Confidence 系列低音揚聲單體以銣磁體為基礎，實現出更強大的驅動力、精緻的音質表現以及更廣大的動態範圍。進一步的音線圈硬度提升由最多三層的玻璃纖維支撐框架達成，同時我們在氣流導向及散熱（特別是在磁體底座的底部）上也取得了新的突破。
我們堅信沒有一種模型能適用於所有的使用情境。所以我們的工程團隊依照各種揚聲器模型與單元的使用場景選擇適合的材質來製造音線圈，而不僅僅依賴單一種材質。這樣的方法使我們能夠全面地進行揚聲器的調校，並把每一個單元的性能發揮到極致。
對於 Confidence 20，我們在其低音單體中選用了鋁製音線圈。而對於 Confidence 30、50 和 60 系列，我們使用了銅質音線圈。這是因為我們的工程團隊希望提升大型地板式揚聲器中低音單體的驅動力，以產生更深沉的音質效果。銅質音線圈相較之下具有更強的動能，能更好地與箱體調音相配合。同時，底部揚聲器的低音振膜也較為厚重，以提供足夠的剛性，因為它的主角就是要作為低音單元。而升級版的中音驅動單體則可以滿足其餘頻段的需求。
這些磁體本身就充分展現了我們從 Special Forty 銣磁鐵混合單元所學得的技術。我們的 Confidence 系列使用的是純銣磁體，再配合精心優化的形狀設計和位置配置，即達成了同等的效果。每一種揚聲器都擁有專屬的機械切割磁體，絕對是優雅的解決方案。
當然，所有的 Confidence 系列中的 NeoTec 低音揚聲單體的振膜都是由 Dynaudio 驕傲的 MSP 材料製成，這是經過多年研發的熱壓成型聚合物，我們不斷地使用、完善，並且享受其創造出的音質。
The Confidence’s woofers use neodymium magnets for greater power, more finesse and improved dynamic range.
The drivers have updated voice-coils that use up to three layers of glass-fibre in their formers for optimum stiffness, along with developments in airflow and venting (particularly in the bottom of the yoke).
We don’t believe in ‘one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to making new parts. That’s why our engineers decided to use different materials for the actual voice-coil wire, depending on the speaker model and the context in which the driver will be used. It means the speaker’s tuning is more complete, and each driver’s performance is completely optimised for its purpose.
The Confidence 20 uses an aluminium voice-coil in its woofer, while the Confidence 30, 50 and 60 use copper. Our engineers wanted to increase the force-factor of the woofers in the larger, floor-standing Confidence models to give them more sonic punch. Using copper here gave slightly higher moving mass to align with the cabinet tuning. The diaphragms in the floor-standers’ woofers are also slightly thicker to provide more stiffness – because they’re used purely as bass units. The updated midrange driver (see below) can handle the rest.
The magnets themselves build on the lessons we learned from the Special Forty’s neodymium/ferrite hybrid units (which used two materials in order to shape magnetic flux around the voice-coil to better control its movement). The Confidence range uses pure neodymium, along with some hyper-optimised shaping in the air-gap, and different positioning, to achieve the same effect. One machined magnet per speaker, one incredibly elegant solution.
And, of course, all the Confidence’s NeoTec woofers’s diaphragms are made from Dynaudio’s celebrated MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) material. It’s a proprietary composite that we’ve been using, refining, perfecting and enjoying for decades.
新版中音驅動單體與 Horizon 懸邊
Inside Confidence
Confidence 改良版的 MSP 中音驅動單體與 Dynaudio 以往的設計有很大的差異。
它採用了一種革新的懸邊設計，這種設計跟隨著驅動單體的懸邊形狀，降低了邊緣的第一個共振模式，從而有效地增加整個播放範圍的表面積，提升聲能表現。
另外，它與控音板面平齊，減少了振動膜和相鄰高音揚聲單體產生的繞射。再單體後方方面，其構造框架採用輕便的有機設計。這種設計源於大量的頂尖優化模擬，可以提高空氣流通，同時維持其穩定性和剛性，同時減輕重量，而不會犧牲性能。
The Confidence’s improved MSP midrange driver is a big departure from previous Dynaudio designs.
It has a radical surround design that follows the cone’s shape right to the edge of the driver. This reduces the surround’s first resonant mode to effectively increase the entire playing surface area and improve performance. It also sits flush with the baffle to reduce diffractions from the diaphragm and the adjacent tweeter.
Behind the scenes, the basket has been given a lightweight organic design – one that’s resulted from extensive topology-optimisation simulations. It increases airflow, maintains its stability and rigidity and reduces weight simultaneously without sacrificing performance.
Compex 複合材前障板
Compex baffle
Confidence 系列的特色前障板也經歷了一場革新改造。它是由一種先進的複合材料 Compex 打造而成，這種材料不僅輕便無比，同時堅固耐用，更兼具優異的剛性及阻尼效果，有助於吸收不需要的共振聲。當你輕輕地提起並敲擊它，你會聽到它音響上的寧靜，完全符合其設計要求。
所有的揚聲器都是透過特製襯墊整合進前障板中的。背部裝有一個含有螺絲的合金安裝板，使低音揚聲器緊緊結合在一起，而高音與中音揚聲器則儘可能地進行結構吻合以避免振動。
這種 Compex 前障板經過精密的開發，模擬和機械製作，作為 DDC Lens 的一部分，與揚聲器、分音器完美嵌入 DDC 系統當中。
為何選擇複合材料？以前一代Confidence的纖維板（MDF）前障板不足以滿足新版DDC技術對於精準角度、曲線和邊緣的要求。而Compex則可以輕鬆勝任。此外，它可依照特定的機械聲學性能進行設計，這些性能不會隨著時間變化，歷久且彌新。
The Confidence’s signature baffle has also been revamped. It’s now crafted from an advanced composite, Compex, that’s not only very light, but extremely strong, not to mention rigid and well-damped to absorb unwanted resonances. Lift one up and tap it, and you’ll hear that it’s acoustically very dead. Exactly as it should be.
The drivers are integrated into the baffle with special gaskets. There’s an alloy mounting plate on the back containing the screws – which means the woofers are very tightly coupled, and the tweeter and midrange drivers are decoupled as much as possible to avoid vibration.
The Compex baffle has been developed, simulated and machined to work as part of the DDC Lens – so they both, along with the drivers and crossover, all mesh perfectly into the DDC platform.
Why composite? The MDF of the previous Confidence’s baffle wouldn’t be able to handle the precise angles, curves and edges that the updated DDC technology demands. Compex can. Plus, it can be designed with specific mechano-acoustical properties that won’t change over time.
混合式向下傳導低音孔
Hybrid down-firing bass port
談到 Confidence 系列的低音孔，遠不只是一根管子那麼簡單。每一款型號都搭配了一個經過細膩聆聽、測量並個別定製以適配該揚聲器的低音孔，這是真正的專屬工程設計。唯有將揚聲器拆解才能夠親眼見到它，然而當你在聆聽之時，絕對能夠感受到它帶來的影響。
這個低音孔從揚聲器深處順著揚聲器內部向下延伸，穿越底部、底座並開向外側，形成了一個雙管道系統。同時經過精心設計的矽膠孔口擴散器適應該管道擴展部分，引導空氣流動，使之朝向兩側方向流出。
整個揚聲器都安穩地立於堅固的鋼製底盤上，實質上取代了地板的作用。這個堅毅的基礎，混合孔與其底部的固定距離，加上揚聲器背部並無開孔，意味著你能將 Confidence 系列無論放置硬地板、深絨地毯，或是任何位置，都不會影響低音孔的效能表現。
Confidence’s bass-port is more than just a tube. Each model has a port that’s been listened to, measured and specified individually to suit that exact speaker. True bespoke engineering. The only way you’ll see it is if you disassemble the speaker (please don’t), but you’ll definitely appreciate its effect when you listen.
It travels from deep inside the speaker down through the bottom, where it passes through the plinth and flares out – effectively creating a two-port system. Meanwhile, a dense silicon port diffuser – carefully shaped to complement the flare – divides and controls the airflow, directing it out to the sides.
The whole speaker sits on a solid steel base-plate, which is always in the same position and effectively takes the place of the floor (or, for Confidence 20, the top-plate of the stand). That never-changing foundation, the constant gap between it and the bottom of the hybrid port – plus the fact that there are no holes on the back of the speaker – means you can place Confidence on any surface (hard floor or deep-pile carpet) and in any position (next to a wall or in free space) without affecting the port’s performance.
永恆經典的設計藝術
Timeless design
工程師與設計師共同挑戰極限，尋求形與能兩者之間最恰如其分的平衡時，必將締造出足以驚艷眾人的設計傑作。無庸置疑，Confidence 系列的設計創新立即吸引了所有的目光，成為萬眾矚目的焦點。
我們的設計團隊用了數月的時間，精心研究各種形狀、色彩、表面處理與材料，其目的就是為了打造出這款揚聲器系列；無論是在小巧的私人聆聽室還是在宏偉的宮殿中，它都顯得非常耀眼，光采奪目。他們全力以赴，確保它在保持原有 Confidence 系列的獨特風格的同時，也展現出一種鮮明而雄偉的全新風貌，這正好與其強大的性能相互呼應。
從曼妙的櫃體線條，獨特的隔音板形狀，到華麗的油漆面及精美的木紋飾面，Confidence 系列完全體現出其名字的含意——自信滿滿。
When designers and engineers push each other to the limit to strike the perfect balance between form and function, the result can’t fail to be striking. And there’s no denying that Confidence’s look grabs you by the lapels and demands attention.
Our design team spent months researching shapes, colours, finishes and materials to create a speaker family that looks every bit as arresting in a small listening room as it does in a palace. They worked hard to make sure its character stayed true to the original Confidence range, but displays a fresh, imposing character in keeping with its powerful performance.
From the beautifully curved cabinet and the distinctive baffle shape to the sumptuous finishes and veneers, Confidence fully lives up to its name. In every way.
