About DynavoICE Definition DF-6

Solid sound at a low price

Not everyone can and does not want to spend a lot of money on Hi-Fi speakers. We set a reasonable limit for ourselves before buying. But still, to make it easier to navigate the assortment, marketing specialists divide the products into classes (categories). Here are budget models with a "basic" set of technologies, and here are Hi-Fi or High End, which implement the best. And there is a 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 Dynavoice speaker line, the Definition series is considered the "senior" and therefore has the right to cost a little more. That is why the manufacturer demonstrates all its engineering and technical potential in these speakers.

However, after learning about the price of Dynavoice's anti-trend Definition series DF 6 speakers, we were surprised that they can confidently compete with mid-budget floor-standing speakers from other manufacturers on the market.

If we talk about the design and technology, the speakers look more than solid. Not every manufacturer can boast of a four-way design and a ribbon tweeter, even in the more affordable category. Undoubtedly, lovers of good sound cannot fail to be surprised by the speaker set. It is important that the optimal size and type of speaker is selected for each frequency band.

Two 165mm diameter, cast aluminum Kevlar speakers with speed and accuracy are used to reproduce low frequencies. A smaller analog speaker is "responsible" for midrange frequencies. A 135mm diameter cone reproduces the "mids" better, as it is lighter and has a smaller diffuser area, making it more suitable for this frequency range.

In the high frequencies, things are much more interesting. A common plastic plate houses a 33mm material dome tweeter that reproduces in the 3200 - 12800 Hz frequency range, and a ribbon tweeter responsible for ultra-high frequencies.

From an engineering perspective, everything is great. But, there are a couple more surprises. First, the high-frequency dispersion is adjustable using the X-Change filter. You can choose four levels of broadcasting in 2dB steps. Second, the speakers come with a pair of foam blinds. 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 - at the bottom, the other in the back - at the top. The ports are aligned differently, which gives the possibility of three-position adjustment, and if you have a way to make a second pair of blinds - a fourth for a bonus.

How to make an optimal speaker cabinet - the formula has been known for a long time. It must be as strong, solid and heavy as possible. The creators of the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 speakers solved this task in an exceptionally practical way. An 18mm MDF board was used for the side walls of the cabinet, and four crossbars hold them from vibration. The front and rear walls are made of a 15mm thick board, which, creating mass, is covered in certain places with an 18mm MDF board, which prevents vibrations and sound resonances when the speakers are heavily loaded. The base of the speaker is another 18mm thick MDF board. In this way, the engineers achieved maximum cabinet strength in those places where it is necessary.The main role in increasing the weight (mass) is played by the useful (base and cladding) elements of the housing structure. In this case, unnecessary, volume-reducing weights - ballasts - placed inside the speaker housing are avoided.

Before summarizing the sound of the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 speakers, it should first be created before listening to them. It was not difficult to decide on the amount of high frequencies. As for the "low", it is a bit trickier. Fully open phase inverters, at the average timbre setting, left the impression of a very menacing bass. A slightly smoother low-frequency band was heard by blocking the upper phase inverter. In this case, the tonal balance became practically ideal. The bass is accurate, fast, detailed and elastic.

The sound is practically monitor-like and versatile in terms of genres. At the same time, the Dynavoice Definition DF-6 can boast an advantage over the acoustic systems produced by competitors. This is an excellent ability to reproduce heavy rock music recordings. And as you know, speakers rarely make friends with this musical genre. The secret of such mastery lies in observing precise written rules: smooth amplitude-frequency characteristics, high sensitivity, low levels of distortion and overtones, and a fluffy impulse response. Not to mention the impressive sound detail.

The directional pattern 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 parallel to each other (relative to the speaker axes), the high and mid frequencies sound much more comfortable and timbre-rich. You could say that this is another way of setting the sound.

In summary, we can say that these speakers, within their price range, are an extremely attractive option in terms of price-quality ratio.

With a fairly narrow body, the speakers look compact and can be fully integrated into a small room.
