DALI SPEKTOR WHITEPAPER
INTRODUCTION At DALI, we are deeply committed to bringing the scintillating joy of true Hi-Fi sound to a wider audience. Every speaker series we have developed since we started more than 30 years ago has brought us closer to this goal. Regardless if it was our high-end EPICON series or the compact battery driven KATCH, we knew that we were bringing Hi-Fi sound to new listeners. performance, and optimising the production of every element of the speaker.
SPEKTOR 6 Walnut, SPEKTOR VOCAL Walnut & SUB E-9 F Black Ash. PRODUCTS The technological advances DALI has made over the years, and the experience of not just designing but building our own drivers in-house, has given us the unique opportunity to launch a series of very reasonably priced speakers that include several of DALI’s core technologies, living up to the rigorous standards we set for ourselves and our products.
SPEKTOR 1 The ultra-compact speaker in the range. Built around a 4½” wood fibre woofer and a 21 mm soft dome tweeter, the SPEKTOR 1 is perfect for almost any situation that requires a small but well performing speaker. Front, rear or side speakers in a surround system, or alone is a compact stereo setup. SPEKTOR 2 Whilst still being a compact speaker, the SPEKTOR 2’s larger inner volume delivers extra bass performance.
SPEKTOR 6 Built around two 6½” woofers and a 25 mm soft dome tweeter, this large floor standing speaker is the power-house of the SPEKTOR family. Serving up a detailed, dynamic and powerful audio reproduction, they are the perfect choice for any stereo or surround setup. SPEKTOR VOKAL Taking centre stage, the SPEKTOR VOKAL delivers clarity and depth to any movie. The two 4½” woofers and 25 mm soft dome are setup to match perfectly with any of the three models in the SPEKTOR series.
By creating a very linear environment the speakers presents an amplifier friendly load. Optimised drivers enable low complicity in the crossover ensuring low signal loss. Wide dispersion creates a uniform sound experience in the entire room. DALI SOUND FUNDAMENTAL The primary function of any loudspeaker is to convert the electrical signal from the amplifier into a realistic audio experience in the listening room.
WOOFER When developing the SPEKTOR series, a large part was devoted to bringing as many DALI technologies to the drivers as possible. This is especially true with the woofer, where elements like the wood fibre cones, the low-loss suspension, chassis layout and magnet motor design where crucial elements in the overall design. The wood fibre cone structure is not only a DALI trademark, but a well proven technology.
TWEETER The tweeter must be able to render high frequencies with high accuracy. This means very short excursions, but at high speed, - or rather – with high acceleration. In other words, a low moving mass and a strong motor is needed. conditions for the soft dome. The aim was to combine an extended frequency response with wide dispersion and low coloration. The SPEKTOR tweeter is based on an ultra-light weight weaved fabric.
WIDE DISPERSION DALI makes it easy to integrate your loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the SPEKTOR series have been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. You will experience a well-integrated sound, even when listening significantly off-axis. And, as you are often not seated directly in front of the loudspeaker when listening to music, this is important.
SPEKTOR 6 Walnut. APPLICATION The DALI SPEKTOR series sets new standards - It introduces the virtues of classic Hi-Fi at an affordable price point, and it offers the authentic, detailed and dynamic DALI sound to a brand-new audience. The four models offer the optimum in flexibility. • The ultra-compact SPEKTOR 1 for wall mount or use with any compact Hi-Fi music system. • The compact SPECTOR 2 for the classic stereo stand-mount setup, or as powerful rear speakers in a surround system.
