MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper

INTRODUCTION

The new MOTIF® LCR loudspeaker from DALI is a genuine high fidelity loudspeaker in an elegant design

package.

From the start of the creation of the MOTIF® LCR, the project team was determined to prove that it was

possible to show that beauty and performance could be materialized in one and same product.

Whereas engineering tasks and, of course, all acoustics has been done by DALI’s R&D department, the

Denmark-based international design company Designit® was hired to develop the aesthetics.

We claim the task has been fulfilled.

Have the first introduction in the following pages.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper APPLICATIONS THE SOPHISTICATED SOLUTION TO COMPLETE YOUR FLATSCREEN TV MOTIF® LCR® is a perfect match to a high quality flat screen TV set, as LCR speaker set, as “building block” in a complete surround setup, or as a stylish stereo speaker for on-wall application. The acoustic dispersion pattern of the speaker allows horizontal or vertical orientation, as it should be on a genuine LCR-speaker.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper WIDE DISPERSION – A DALI SPECIALITY Wall mount speakers are generally designed to either be as flat to the wall as possible, meaning parallel orientation to the wall surface, or alternatively to be angled, e.g. on a pivoting bracket which, on the other hand, introduces an un-wanted elevation of the speaker from the wall surface.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper CLICK N’ CONNECT STEREO ANYWHERE The design of MOTIF® LCR speakers will invite to position real high fidelity speakers in both domestic environment, in rooms where a traditional loudspeaker wouldn’t be accepted, or even in public areas like restaurants or galleries where the visual appearance and convenience and flexibility in installation is important. In homes the MOTIF® LCR speaker is a perfect match for e.g. some of the better distributed sound systems in the market.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper SUBWOOFER RECOMMENDATION We have chosen to emphasize a natural, undistorted and well articulated reproduction of all tones but the very lowest, rather than a boomy sound, which might be impressive in first minutes, but tiring in the long run. In fact, it is our belief that in most situations, you will be able to enjoy even bass guitar solo’s better when the reproduction accuracy is prioritised than when extreme low tone extension is forced from a very compact speaker.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper DIECAST ALUMINUM ADVANTAGES The use of a diecast aluminium as cabinet construction material introduces important mechanical advantages, and has been chosen in order to meet some of the challenges it is make great sound in a compact stylish package. First of all, the high strength of aluminium, compared to less rigid materials as fibreboard or plastic, enables the engineers to use the thinner walls, thus utilising the speaker size for internal volume.

MOTIF® LCR / Technical Whitepaper Even tough the dome tweeter is larger than normal; the weight of the dome is lower than normal, due to the use of a thin, light weight material. The low moving mass will make it possible for the dome to react faster on the electrical signals that is fed to the voice coil. The outcome is sound with a more natural character, as well as improved resolution and attention to fine details and micro dynamics.
