  • Product Detail
The Contour S 1.4 defines the experience of pure and true sound.

The advanced Dynaudio technology and the innovative cabinet construction are unified in a spectacular design - all individual aspects form a harmonious, synergistic whole.

Elegant, slim lines shape a soft curve on the front baffle.

The thin cloth grill cover, secured in place by small hidden magnets, underlines the silhouette. The real wood veneer is meticulously polished by hand to yield a silky smooth finish, an elegant contrast to the solid aluminum and metal elements so essential to the advanced technology of the loudspeakers.

To allow for the S 1.4 to achieve its highest potential, the optional Stand4 is recommended. It is available in either a Silver or Black finish, and can be attached directly to the base of the S 1.4 with no top plate required, creating a perfectly integrated unit, one that is ideal both sonically as well as aesthetically.

An extensively braced and damped inner cabinet, select crossover components, a phase- and impulse-ideal first order crossover slope, and a sound-quality oriented balance of all parts and materials have been implemented.
