DALI OBERON W HI T E PAP ER
Introduction Improving and evolving products is the ultimate goal for any innovative company. By using the knowledge, skill and technology gained over the years, our aim is to ensure that customers are presented with the very best we have to offer - delivering the greatest musical experiences, emotion and enjoyment possible. For more than 35 years, DALI has brought “Best in class” audio experiences to its customers.
Built within a solid MDF cabinet, the DALI OBERON series is available in four finishes: Black Ash, White, Dark Walnut and Light Oak*. The matte black or white front baffle frames the oversized 29mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter and the SMC based woofers, with a new and optimised wood fibre structured cone. The rear mounted bass port ensures optimum integration within the room, and the elegantly shaped aluminium base gives the three floorstanding models a lighter look.
Cabinet Constructed from CNC machined MDF board and dressed in carefully selected high-grade laminates, the cabinet forms the solid base for the speaker. The floor-standing cabinets employ a highly rigid construction, with solid bracing across the inside of the cabinet for reinforcement. This contributes to the stiffness and practically eliminate panel resonance.
The OBERON ON-WALL takes the use of the rear wall to a whole new level. Using the unique port design originally introduced with our RUBICON LCR, the OBERON ONWALL bass ports fire downwards, letting the ports and the wall work together to extend the bass reproduction far beyond what should be possible from such a compact cabinet. The front baffle is finished in an exclusive matte finish, complementing the dark aluminium details.
DALI speakers is build for wide dispersion, filling the room with the best quality audio and enlarging the listening sweet spot. Wide Dispersion DALI makes it easy to integrate loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry incorporated in the OBERON series have been selected to generate a wide dispersion pattern in the listening space. Furthermore, the same principles are applied in the design of the crossover.
Woofer At DALI, we strongly believe in reproducing the recorded signal. No more, no less… To achieve this, it’s not only necessary to reproduce the frequency contents in the signal, but also the dynamics in all its aspects – ranging from subtle micro details to high level bursts. The OBERON speakers have been engineered accordingly. Like all DALI drivers dedicated to reproducing the delicate midrange and bass frequency band, the OBERON woofer features a wood fibre diaphragm.
of handling high peak signal levels. The result is seriously improved bass control, well controlled reproduction of micro details and great transient capabilities. The OBERON ON-WALL is fitted with a 2-layer voice coil. The wall mounted position helps deliver sufficient bass performance, and the lighter 2-layer voice coil ads the mid-range needed to match the bass performance.
