Dynaudio Evoke 20 Bookshelf Speakers - Black - Pair

Dynaudio Evoke 20: Full-Size Stand-Mount Speakers for Any Room

The Dynaudio Evoke 20 is the larger of the two stand-mount speakers in Dynaudio's Evoke series. It is a passive, 2-way design with a 28mm soft-dome tweeter and a powerful 18cm mid/bass driver, in a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet.

Dynaudio rates its frequency range at 40Hz to 23kHz (+/-3dB). This pair comes in Black High Gloss with black grilles.

Cerotar Tweeter with Hexis

The 28mm Cerotar is Dynaudio's own design, based on its Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the Esotar3. Behind the precision-coated soft dome sits Hexis, an inner dome that shapes airflow to smooth out the frequency response.

18cm Esotec+ MSP Mid/Bass Driver

The 0.4mm-thick cone is one piece of MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer), with Balance Ribs around the center. It uses a 52mm aluminium voice-coil, an aramid fibre spider and a Ferrite+ magnet system. Dynaudio describes it as a long-throw design for better low-frequency dynamics.

Tapered, Rounded Cabinet

The cabinet is tapered and rounded, and the driver screws are hidden behind one-piece trim rings. Dynaudio uses improved lacquering techniques for the high-gloss finishes.

How the Evoke 20 Fits Your System

The Evoke 20 is a passive speaker, so it needs a stereo amplifier or AV receiver to drive it. It has a sensitivity of 86dB, a rated impedance of 6 ohms and long-term power handling of 180W. It works as a stereo pair or as front speakers in a home theater with the Evoke 25C center.

It is not a powered or wireless speaker and has no built-in amplifier or Bluetooth. The port is on the back, and Dynaudio says its speakers perform best well away from walls, ideally at least 18 inches (50cm). Allow for a cabinet about 12 1/2 inches deep with the grille on.

Who Are These Speakers Best For?

• Stereo listeners — A full-size 2-way pair for music, used on stands.
• Buyers wanting the larger Evoke stand-mount — The bigger of the two Evoke stand-mounts, with an 18cm mid/bass driver.
• Home theater fronts — Pairs with the Evoke 25C center and other Evoke models.
• Design-minded homes — A curved high-gloss cabinet with no visible screws.
• Not for — Anyone wanting powered, wireless speakers or a speaker to push against a wall.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

• Run speaker cable from your amplifier or receiver to the binding posts on the back of each speaker.
• Place the speakers about 6 to 13 feet (2 to 4m) apart, with your seat at a similar or slightly greater distance.
• Keep them at least 18 inches (50cm) from walls where you can.
• Dynaudio recommends speaker stands for the best performance, with rubber pads holding each speaker to the stand.
• Try angling the speakers inward a little if the stereo image needs more focus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Evoke 20 sold as a pair?

Yes. This listing is for a pair, and Dynaudio packs two speakers per box.

Do the Evoke 20 speakers need an amplifier?

Yes. They are passive speakers. Connect them to a stereo amplifier or AV receiver with speaker cable.

Can I put them on a shelf instead of stands?

You can, but Dynaudio says stands usually give the best performance. On a shelf near a wall you can expect more bass and a less focused stereo image.

Dynaudio rates it from 40Hz to 23kHz within 3dB.

How long is the warranty?

Dynaudio's warranty follows the legal standard in the country of purchase. If you register the speakers on Dynaudio's website within 12 months of purchase, the warranty is extended to 96 months (8 years) in total.
