We Are Proud Of Our Work
We are proud
of our work.
Ask anyone here
and you’ll get the
same answer.
Allan Kristiansen is one of the most
expensive people at Dynaudio. He’s been
with us for 27 years – and during that
time he’s said “No” hundreds of times.
Every time Allan says “No”, it costs us
money. That’s because it means a speaker
cabinet has to go for another round of
lacquering and polishing (which takes
three weeks to nish). Or that a piece of
cabling isn’t mounted properly. Perhaps
a missing screw. Allan sees everything.
But we don’t mind.
We don’t mind because every time Allan
says “Yes”, it means something perfect
has left our factory.
“The key is not doing it in a hurry,” he
says. “Don’t hurry. Make it correctly the
rst time.”
We make the Contour in-house, you see.
It’s made in Denmark because external
assembly plants might not have an Allan.
From the furniture-grade cabinets (which
go through 11 stages of lacquering and
polishing before we set them free), to
the drivers (which are made from
magnesium silicate polymer – a material
we developed ourselves), to testing,
packaging and assembling up to 400
parts, it’s all done at our headquarters
in Skanderborg, Denmark.
We do everything in Denmark because
that’s how we’ve always done it since
we started in 1977. Our founders knew
the only way to produce a truly great
loudspeaker was to oversee every part
of the design and production themselves.
So, we developed our own driver
technology – including our acclaimed
coated soft-dome tweeters. We worked
in secret (we were a bit mysterious
back then) and developed our own
manufacturing and testing methods.
And we made thousands of prototypes.
We did it so that the only things that
leave our factory are perfect, honest,
handcrafted speakers. Every time.
“We are proud of our work,” Allan says.
“Ask anyone here and you’ll get the
same answer. What we’re producing
here is going to go in someone’s house;
someone’s car. They might have saved
for several years, sometimes, to get it.
So we all know it has to be perfect –
when we say Dynaudio is ‘proud and
pure’, that’s true. That’s absolutely true.”
We hope you love listening to our
speakers as much as we loved making
them for you.
