Evidence Platinum Collector's Edition

Product description
Ten pairs, and then the Evidence is finished. Dynaudio brought the 2012 Platinum back one last time in September 2026, built in Skanderborg from the original engineering drawings by many of the same people who made the first run — 405 parts across sixteen stages, up to 28 coats of clear primer under five of high-gloss lacquer, each stage sanded after sixteen hours of hardening and then sixteen to twenty hours of polishing. The acoustic idea is DDC: eight drivers mirrored up a 40 mm machined aluminium baffle so the array's vertical directivity is controlled, which Dynaudio says removes up to 75% of the room's influence. Two Esotar2 tweeters, two 150 mm midranges and four 180 mm woofers, first-order throughout, on a crossover isolated in its own thermally and mechanically separated compartment. Nominally a three-way; the spec sheet writes it as 3(5)-way because there are extra transitions at 290 Hz and 8.5 kHz inside the mirrored array. 1.94 m, 110 kg, 28 Hz. Each pair is numbered on a rear plaque, installed by a Dynaudio specialist and delivered with a letter signed by the people who built it.

How to read this chart

Each axis spans the range the 640 floorstanders in the catalog actually cover, so equal distance means equal difference — and for cone area and the two frequencies, which are read as ratios, equal distance means equal ratio. The dashed inner ring is where the scale starts, not zero. Ranked within a class because a bookshelf measured against floorstanders is feeble on every axis for the single reason that it is a bookshelf. Cone area is summed from the drive units — no maker publishes it. Bass and treble reach are quoted to different tolerances and only 56% of the catalog says which, so read those two axes as approximate. The grey outline is the median of this speaker's own class, the 592 passive floorstanders — same type, same side of the active/passive line, which matters because the two halves are not the same product: the median active bookshelf carries 155 cm² of cone against the passive median's 219. Median rather than mean, because a handful of very large cabinets would drag a mean above most of the class it claims to describe.
