Evoke 25C

Going to the movies is much better at home. You don’t have to queue the floor isn’t sticky and you don’t get charged through the nose for snacks. Plus you can create a far superior audio experience. But for that you need a centre channel.

Director Danny Boyle said that sound makes for 70-80 per cent of the movie-going experience. And when you’re watching a film the majority of that 70-80 per cent is reproduced by the centre channel.

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.

Like the rest of the Evoke range the tweeter is the original design Cerotar. It’s based on key technologies from our award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the mighty Esotar3 which you’ll 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 – it’s a process derived from our most exclusive speakers.

But that’s 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 strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet for increased sensitivity improved detail resolution and a natural dynamic response.

That’s all a posh way of saying “even if you’re watching one of those box-sets that lasts for nine hours your ears won’t get tired”. Which of course is exactly as it should be.

Our design department took drew inspiration from show-homes home-interiors stores and real-life dwellings in Denmark to hone Evoke 25C’s look. After all it’s as much a piece of furniture as the couch you sit on to watch your movies.

That’s why the four finishes are so relatable. You can choose from Black High Gloss and White High Gloss (which both use improved 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 doesn’t age. Evoke 25C will stay as timeless and thrilling as the classics you’re playing through it.
