Solid sound for a low price
Far from it, not all of us can and want to spend a lot of money on Hi-Fi speakers. We set a reasonable limit ourselves before buying. However, to make it easier for us to orient ourselves in the assortment - marketing specialists divide the production into classes (categories). Here are the budget models with a "basic" set of technologies, and here are the Hi-Fi or High End models, in which the best is realized. And the middle class of products for those who accept compromises. It would seem that everything is simple and clear, but Dynavoice appears and breaks all established stereotypes.
In the line of Dynavoice speaker models, the Definition series is considered the "leading" one, so it has the right to cost a little more. It is for this reason that the manufacturer demonstrates all its engineering and technical potential in these speakers.
However, after getting acquainted with the price of Dynavoice's pre-topical Definition series DF 6 speakers, we were surprised that they can confidently compete with mid-budget floor-type speakers from other manufacturers on the market.
If we talk about construction and technology, the speakers look more than solid. Not every manufacturer can boast of four-band construction and speakers with ribbon high frequency, even in the more difficult to afford category. Undoubtedly, lovers of good sound cannot fail to be surprised by the set of speakers. It is important that the optimal size and type of speaker is selected for each frequency band.
For low-frequency reproduction, two Kevlar loudspeakers with a diameter of 165 mm and a cast aluminum body are used, characterized by speed and accuracy. A smaller analog speaker is "responsible" for mid-range frequencies. The 135mm diameter cone, which reproduces the "mids" better, as it is lighter and has a smaller diffuser area, is more suitable for this frequency.
In high frequencies, everything is much more interesting. On a common plastic plate, in the frequency range of 3200 - 12800 Hz, a 33mm size reproducing tweeter with a material dome and a band tweeter responsible for ultra high frequencies are installed.
From an engineering standpoint, everything is great. But there are still a couple of surprises. First, the dispersion of high frequencies is regulated with the help of the X-Change filter. Four broadcast levels can be selected in 2dB increments. Second, the set includes a pair of foam blinds for the speakers. The manufacturer urges the user to pay special attention to this. With their help, you can change the low-frequency sound pattern. Try not to "match the sound to the room" - but to match the sound.
For this, these speakers have two phase inverters: one in the front part - at the bottom, the other in the back part - at the top. The ports are aligned differently, which gives the possibility of three-position adjustment, and if you have how to make a second pair of blinds - a fourth for a bonus.
How to make an optimal speaker housing - the formula has been known for a long time. It must be maximally strong, hard and heavy. The creators of the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 loudspeakers solved this task in an exceptionally practical way. An 18mm MDF board is used for the side walls of the case, and they are supported by four crossbars against vibration. The front and rear walls are made of 15mm thick plate, which, creating a mass, is covered with 18mm MDF plate in certain places, which prevents vibrations and sound resonances when the speakers are heavily loaded. At the base of the column is another 18mm thick MDF board. In this way, the engineers achieved maximum strength of the body in the places where it is necessary. The main role in increasing the weight (mass) is played by the useful (base and cladding) elements of the body structure. In this case, unnecessary weights - ballasts - placed inside the speaker body, which reduce the volume, have been avoided.
Before summarizing the sound of the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 speakers, it should be created first before listening. It was not difficult to decide on the amount of treble. And as for the "low", it's a bit more muscular. Fully open phase inverters, in the medium timbre setting, left the impression of a very menacing bass. A slightly smoother bass band was heard when the upper phase inverter was blocked. It is in this case that the tonal balance practically became ideal. The bass is precise, fast, detailed and elastic.
The sound turned out to be practically monitor-like and genre-wise universal. At the same time, the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 boasts an advantage over the acoustic systems produced by competitors. It has a great ability to reproduce hard rock music recordings. And as you know, with this musical genre, infrequent speakers make friends. The secret of this mastery lies in the observance of precise written rules: smooth amplitude-frequency characteristic presentation, high sensitivity, low level of distortions and hums, perfect impulse response. Not to mention the impressive detail of the sound.
The directional diagram of the speakers is quite specific: if you turn the speakers directly towards the listener, you can hear transparency and detail, and if you place the speakers (in relation to the speaker axes) parallel to each other, the sound of high and medium frequencies is much more comfortable and rich in timbre. It can be said that this is another way of setting the ringtone.
In summary, it can be said that these speakers, understood in their price category, are an extremely attractive, price-quality ratio option.
Having a sufficiently narrow body, the speakers look compact and can be fully integrated even in a small room.
