  • Product Detail
Contour
S 1.4 LE


The Contour S 1.4 LE sounds much more substantial than
its size might suggest, yet provides a high level of refinement and sound
balance. 


FINISH


The S 1.4 LE
is available in Bubinga piano lacquer, oiled Walnut, Mocca piano lacquer and
Black piano lacquer. The die-cast aluminum woofer baskets are finished in matte
black while the metal front baffle is finished in satin black. The high-gloss
black piano lacquer version of the Contour LE has a metal front made of
stainless steel which offers a beautiful contrast to the gloss black cabinet.


 


Yet beauty is
more than skin-deep. The Contour LE has been technically refined and further
upgraded as well. The Dynaudio soft dome tweeter with Precision Coating
provides fine, detailed high frequencies; while the internal wiring uses
high-quality OFC copper cable. The crossover has been further refined by using
special ceramic resistors and high quality capacitors, providing an
exceptionally pure and refined music reproduction. The Contour woofers include
the best Dynaudio technology such as MSP cones, extremely light aluminium wire
voice coils on Kapton formers and rigid, low resonance die-cast aluminium
baskets.


 


One of the
most distinct part of the Contour is it construction: The extremely stiff
cabinet features a unique baffle. It consists of three layers, including a
layer of damping material, and a thick metal plate. This construction
effectively reduces cabinet resonance and allows excellent sound performance up
to the highest volume levels. On this baffle the tweeter is positioned below
the woofers to achieve ideal time alignment at the listening position. For the
best sound experience in the room Dynaudio suggests the dedicated Stand 6 with
the additional S1.4 top plate. The Stand 6 provides a solid, low-resonance
foundation and perfectly matches the design and size of the Contour cabinet.


 


The Contour S
1.4 combines the best of Dynaudio: The finest cabinet finishes handmade in
Denmark, an elegant and slim loudspeaker cabinet design, advanced Dynaudio
driver technology, and the renowned, refined and balanced Dynaudio sound
quality. 


 


The Contour LE models are available in a choice of three real-wood
veneer finishes - natural oiled Walnut, and 
Bubinga
or
 Mocca piano gloss lacquer - as well as in Black
piano lacquer with a stainless steel baffle.
