The Production of Temptation



Throughout the world, Dynaudio’s name is synonymous with handmade Danish quality and phenomenal audio performance. Every single loudspeaker is custom built by our skilled master craftsmen, under stringent laboratory conditions, with absolutely no compromise accepted in materials or workmanship. In short, no corners have been cut and nothing has been left to chance, because we know that attention to detail is what you, as a true audiophile, demand. Dynaudio's new Evidence Temptation perfectly emulates this unfettered passion, truth and emotion from its very beginnings as can be seen from the following pictorials taken during its manufacture.
	Building up the enclosure: The panels are a multi-layered sandwich construction to damp any cabinet colorations and give an extraordinary rigid housing for the drivers. Also, a Dynaudio-exclusive glue made of natural substances is used to gain long-term stability without break-ups or cracks. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Folding the cabinet: For stability reasons, the enclosure is folded instead of made from separate panels. This also has the aesthetical advantage of a very fine all-round veneer finish. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Manufacturing the cabinet: Carefully layered with glue, the panels are fixed with very high pressure, to gain a durable rigidity and stability. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Veneering the enclosure: The fine real wood veneer of the Temptation needs many steps to reach perfection. Only skilled master craftsmen build the cabinets by hand, loudspeaker by loudspeaker. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Finishing the veneer: With care and the need of several hours time, the veneers are again and again sanded und polished, before finishing with lacquer. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Assembling the speaker spike: Even for the solid stand of the Temptation the materials are handcrafted with ambition. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Solid stand: The single speaker spike of the Temptation is an advanced sandwich construction. A solid, adjustable spike is centred in a mill-cut aluminium housing, connected to a brass plate. This will give a perfect stand and very good resonance control. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Assembling the crossover: With care and precision the crossover module is manufactured, using specially selected capacitors, inductors and other materials. Every ingredient has been chosen after various listening tests. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Connecting the crossover section: The outstanding crossover is housed in its own chamber to avoid any influence by the drivers. Inside, the crossover is connected with the drivers by a custom-made, high purity copper cable. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Aluminium terminal: The very high grade binding posts, made by specialist WBT, are gold plated for a perfect signal transport and corroding resistance. The connectors are mounted on a solid aluminium plate to enable a safe and tight contact. The picture also shows the thick sandwich construction of the cabinet. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Mill-cutting the tweeter module: Made of a massive, 40 mm thick aluminium plate, the CNC-machined module gives a solid perfect-fit surrounding for the tweeters and mid drivers. This work intensive section needs its time: It takes nearly 1,5 hours and 24 tool changes until the module can be finished. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Winding the coil: The care of the human hand and the precision of a machine become a fusion of the very highest quality. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Quality control: The intelligent assembly process features various quality control tests to maintain the same perfect quality standards from speaker to speaker. Click the photo for a larger view.
	Implementing the midrange/tweeter section: A legend becomes real – the massive aluminium module, holding the tweeter and the mid driver, is placed in its own enclosure. The braced housing of this section avoids any colorations which may be caused by the bass drivers. Click the photo for a larger view.
