Dynaudio Evoke 25C Centre Channel Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

The Evoke 25C is a 2.5-way centre channel loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The dedicated centre channel for Dynaudio's Evoke series, it features a 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with Hexis flanked by twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid/bass drivers with 38mm aluminium voice coils and Ferrite+ ceramic magnets in a rear-ported bass reflex enclosure. Sensitivity is 88 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, IEC power handling is 200W, and frequency response extends from 50 Hz to 23 kHz. A 2.5-way second-order crossover at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz is voiced to match the full Evoke range, including the Evoke 10, 20, 30, and 50 speakers, for coherent multichannel integration. The cabinet is designed in Denmark and available in four furniture-grade finishes.

Cerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Confidence Technology at the Centre of Your Cinema System

The Evoke 25C uses the same Cerotar tweeter as the full Evoke speaker series, a 28mm precision-coated soft-dome design that draws on technologies from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the flagship Esotar3 found in the Confidence range. The precision coating on the dome is applied at specific locations and thicknesses to optimise high-frequency performance, a process derived from Dynaudio's most exclusive products rather than a generic industrial process. Behind the dome, the Hexis inner dome is positioned directly against the rear of the playing surface to suppress resonances that would otherwise form in the tweeter cavity and reflect back through the diaphragm. The Hexis shapes this rearward airflow to smooth the frequency response and reduce coloration, which is particularly important for a centre channel that handles dialogue reproduction continuously throughout extended viewing sessions. Because Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor technology also informs the Cerotar's design, the tweeter is built for long-period listening without fatigue, a critical characteristic when a centre channel is in constant use for films and television. The strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet provides extended sensitivity and a natural, dynamic response through the upper frequencies. The Cerotar crosses to the mid/bass drivers at 2,300 Hz via a second-order network.

Twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ Drivers and 2.5-Way Centre Channel Architecture

The Evoke 25C's two 14cm Esotec+ mid/bass drivers are identical to those used in the Evoke 10 and Evoke 30, using one-piece MSP cones with Balance Ribs bonded directly to the glass-fibre voice-coil formers beneath. This one-piece construction provides a rigid, distortion-free mechanical coupling between cone and voice coil with no adhesive joint to introduce compliance variation. Each driver's 38mm aluminium voice coil is lightweight, allowing more windings per unit weight for increased magnetic control authority over the cone's movement, which is directly relevant to the clear, precise midrange performance that dialogue reproduction requires. Nomex spiders maintain driver centring, and the Contour-derived long-throw surrounds extend throw ratio for more dynamic bass output from the compact horizontal cabinet. The 2.5-way crossover uses both drivers below 2,300 Hz but crosses the lower driver to bass-only operation below 1,200 Hz, adding low-frequency reinforcement while keeping a single driver responsible for the midrange band where speech intelligibility resides. This architecture mirrors the configuration used in the Evoke 30 floorstander, ensuring tonal continuity between the centre and front speakers in a full Evoke multichannel system. The strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets on both woofers are consistent with the Cerotar tweeter's motor system, giving the full driver set of the Evoke 25C a unified magnetic specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dynaudio Evoke 25C?

The Dynaudio Evoke 25C is a 2.5-way centre channel loudspeaker built in Denmark as the dedicated centre channel for the Evoke series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid/bass drivers with 38mm aluminium voice coils, and a second-order 2.5-way crossover at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz. Sensitivity is 88 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 200W IEC, and frequency response extends from 50 Hz to 23 kHz. It is designed to integrate tonally with all Evoke series speakers.

Which Dynaudio speakers does the Evoke 25C work with?

The Evoke 25C is voiced and measured to integrate with the full Evoke range: Evoke 10 and 20 standmounts, and Evoke 30 and 50 floorstanders. All models share the same Cerotar tweeter with Hexis and Esotec+ MSP driver family, ensuring consistent tonal character across front left, centre, and surround channels in a multichannel Evoke system. Dynaudio's Sub 3 or Sub 6 subwoofers can be added for additional low-frequency extension in larger home cinema rooms.

What is the Hexis inner dome and why is it important in a centre channel speaker?

Hexis is a small secondary dome positioned directly behind the Cerotar tweeter's 28mm diaphragm. It suppresses resonances that form in the tweeter cavity by shaping the rearward airflow, preventing these resonances from reflecting back through the dome and introducing frequency response coloration. In a centre channel speaker specifically, the tweeter handles speech and dialogue reproduction continuously throughout extended viewing sessions. Reducing the coloration and fatigue contribution of the tweeter directly improves long-term dialogue intelligibility and listening comfort during multi-hour cinema or television use.

Where should the Evoke 25C be placed relative to the television?

The Evoke 25C can be positioned either above or below the display screen. Its horizontal configuration keeps the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the cabinet, so the speaker does not need to be angled toward the listening position to maintain tweeter axis alignment. When placed below the screen on an AV shelf or TV bench, Dynaudio recommends ensuring the rear-firing bass reflex port has adequate clearance, ideally 20 cm or more behind the speaker. When placed above the screen, a slight downward tilt improves perceived dialogue focus. The 602mm width accommodates placement on most standard AV furniture below displays up to approximately 65 inches.

What AV receiver is recommended to drive the Dynaudio Evoke 25C?

The Evoke 25C is rated at 4 ohms with 88 dB sensitivity and 200W IEC power handling. Most mid-to-high-tier AV receivers from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Anthem, or Arcam rated at 80W or more per channel into 4 ohms will drive the Evoke 25C effectively. For the best dialogue clarity and dynamic range, a receiver or multichannel amplifier that maintains stable output into 4-ohm loads is recommended. Dynaudio designs its Evoke impedance curves to be more amplifier-friendly than the nominal 4-ohm specification implies, so the Evoke 25C is compatible with a broader range of AV equipment than the rating alone suggests.

Where can I buy the Dynaudio Evoke 25C in Buffalo, NY or the USA?

The Dynaudio Evoke 25C is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to discuss multichannel system configuration with matching Evoke series speakers or to arrange a demonstration.

How does the Evoke 25C differ from the Contour 25Ci?

The Dynaudio Contour 25Ci is the centre channel for the Contour i series, using the Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis and dual 18cm MSP woofers in a substantially larger 750mm-wide cabinet reaching 35 Hz at -3 dB with 300W power handling. The Evoke 25C uses the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis and dual 14cm MSP Esotec+ drivers in a 602mm-wide cabinet reaching 50 Hz at -3 dB with 200W handling. The Contour 25Ci is matched to Contour i series speakers and provides deeper bass extension, higher power handling, and the higher-tier Esotar2i tweeter. The Evoke 25C is sized and specified for the Evoke series and smaller to medium home cinema rooms.
