Diptyque DP85-ES Loudspeakers; pair

The Diptyque DP85-ES is the new entry point to Diptyque's flat-panel speakers: a DP85-EVO built only in Black (RAL 9005), with standard-grade binding posts in place of the WBT connectors on the DP85-EVO. "ES" stands for Essential. Diptyque has not announced US pricing yet, so this page is here to let you know it is coming.

Diptyque calls the DP85-ES an entry-level model, made to introduce the Diptyque sound to a wider audience. Diptyque says it has all the qualities of a high-end model. The differences Diptyque has named are the finish and the speaker terminals.

Key Features of the Diptyque DP85-ES

Diptyque describes the DP85-ES as essentially a DP85-EVO. On the DP85-EVO, that means:

• Bass-midrange panel: A 1,320 cm² isodynamic bass-midrange cell built on Diptyque's optimized PPBM principle.
• Ribbon tweeter: A 30 cm isodynamic ribbon tweeter with neodymium magnets.
• Sandwich structure: The mechanical sandwich structure inspired by the Diptyque Reference, built for rigidity and freedom from resonance.
• Acoustic Bass Regulators: The EVO update's bass regulators on the rear of each panel, developed with the ONERA aerospace laboratory.
• Made in France: Built in Diptyque's own workshops in France.

How the DP85-ES Differs From the DP85-EVO

Diptyque has named two differences from the DP85-EVO. It comes in one finish, Black (RAL 9005); the DP85-EVO is offered in Diptyque's standard black and white plus custom RAL colors. And it uses standard-grade binding posts where the DP85-EVO uses WBT connectors.
