The Confidence C1 Signature milestone delivers a level of musical performance and sonic refinement that is unmatched by any other loudspeaker in its class. The distinctive slim cabinet incorporates the advanced Esotar² tweeter, a mid/bass driver with aluminium voice coil on a Kapton former, and the highest quality 1st order cross-over. The C1 can be mounted directly onto the Stand4 for a synergy of performance and design. With the latest fine-tuning, the new Confidence C1 II and C1 Signature are the best sounding and most refined compact Confidence models ever.

The Confidence Signature project was inspired by Dynaudio's founder, Wilfried Ehrenholz. He has always had the ambition of making the best even better. The C1 II serves as a perfect example of Dynaudio’s tradition of producing incredible compact speakers and acts as an ideal building-block for any high-end music or home theater system.

A new, higher level of fine-tuning and the experience gained from creating the exceptional Dynaudio Sapphire and Consequence Ultimate Edition have contributed to this most refined Confidence II and Signature edition. Incorporating select high-performance woofers and the finest hand-crafted wood veneer finishes, the new Confidence models have been further refined.

Every model incorporates Dynaudio's finest Esotar² tweeter with a neodymium magnet, which in its newest version is further optimized via Dynaudio's precision coating. This improves the exceptionally smooth response and the authentic reproduction of all fine musical details. Additionally, the crossover has been further optimized and the internal wiring has been upgraded. With these enhancements, the second-generation models are now designated as Confidence II and Confidence Signature.

Aesthetically pure yet technically advanced, the C1 II combines a unique slim cabinet with an innovative baffle design. In the Confidence series, a completely new design concept defines the front of the loudspeaker as a design element in its own right. The multiple-layer high-density baffle yields extremely low resonance and decouples the loudspeaker drivers from the cabinet itself. The Confidence Signature models are exclusively available in dark-brown Mocca or dark-red Bordeaux real wood finishes with high-gloss piano lacquer. They proudly feature an aluminum backplate adorned with the signature of Dynaudio's founder and sole owner, Wilfried Ehrenholz.
