The Dynaudio Compound 4 represents a landmark in loudspeaker design, utilizing completely original drivers crafted from the highest quality materials to achieve a breathtakingly pure sonic performance. This model, embodying years of development, meticulous lab testing, and innovative design through the Dynaudio Compound system, offers a slim profile without compromising on sound delivery. Critics rave about its deep bass, which is delivered with both impressive punch and precision, setting a benchmark in hi-fi audio reproduction.
At the heart of the Compound 4’s ability to render deep, accurate bass is its unique 2-chamber bass driver system. An inner driver emulates an infinite air space, effectively neutralizing the back-wave energy from the external bass driver and ensuring that amplifier signals are transmitted without loss, yielding bass that is both deep and tightly controlled. This allows the bass driver to combine speed with an extension rarely heard in compact designs.
The mid-range frequencies are handled by a 76 mm soft-dome driver equipped with a large diameter voice coil covering 500-5,000Hz, ensuring full dynamic range reproduction without distortion. High frequencies are crisply rendered by a 28mm ferrofluid-cooled, resonance-damped soft-dome tweeter, capable of handling dynamics over 120dB with ease and no discernible distortion.
The Compound 4 utilizes a simple yet effective 6 dB-per octave crossover network, optimizing the impulse and phase responses of the system. This precision in crossover design complements the meticulously calculated cabinet and carefully selected components that result in an uncolored, authentic audio reproduction.
Dynaudio’s design philosophy for the Compound 4 eschews unnecessary accessories that do not enhance performance, focusing instead on engineering excellence. This results in a speaker that not only meets but sets new standards for performance in its class, embodying true fidelity in music reproduction. Dynaudio encourages experiencing the Compound 4 in person to fully appreciate its capabilities, aligning with their belief that technical specifications can only tell part of the story in assessing a speaker’s ultimate performance and sound quality.
