CONTOUR 30

The medium-sized one: powerful, controlled, remarkable

Power, control and elegance. The Contour 30 has been redesigned inside and out to deliver a truly memorable performance

Mid-size room? Mid-size speaker.

Contour 30 steps it up a notch from the 20. Of course, it still treads the same path – one of honesty, transparency and sheer entertainment, but it puts it all in a bigger package.

They endowed Contour 30 with two 18cm MSP drivers. as well as doubling up on the rear ports. What makes their drivers so special? Variable thickness across the diaphragm, for one thing.

And aluminium voice-coils, for another. They can make them extremely light – but also bigger than the old-style copper units you’ll find elsewhere. Lighter weight means larger diameters, which means they can use more windings, which means they have more control over the cone movement. And that means more control over the sound – especially at high frequencies and high volumes. Sure, they experimented with small voice-coils on the new Contour – the size other companies might use. The measurements said they should work for Contour. 

And, of course, they have included the ultra-pure,ultra-clear,ultra-sweet-sounding Esotar2 fabric soft-dome tweeter. You might also notice that they have put it back on top of the mid/bass drivers. 

And because they have irrepressible tinkerers, they have given the inside a makeover, too. As with the Contour 20 and Contour 60, the Contour ’30 has new baskets to hold the drivers themselves, as well as a new crossover and new wiring.  They listened to their old Contours for months – the whole range – and decided they wanted the crossover to serve up even better bass. So now, you can go louder and lower. 

While their engineers and designers were hunkered down listening to everything from jazz, to classical, to metal, to electronica, the team in their on-site factory were scouring sustainable sources for high-quality materials and finishes. They make sure all Contours are furniture-grade: perfectly built, perfectly finished and perfectly packaged.
