Dali Oberon 9

Not only is the new Oberon series set to displace Zensor, it is also set to shake up the mid priced speaker market. Since the introduction of the Zensor range from Dali, they have become a firm favourite with end user and reviewers alike. Using trickle down technology from the Opticon and Rubicon ranges, Dali have produced speaker that excells at its price point and has looks to suit all modern environments. The Oberon 9 is the flagship floorstanding speaker in the range and features an oversized soft dome tweeter, 2 x 9inch drive units and a dedicated Mid Range. Available in 4 stylish colour options.

EASY TO POSITION

The driver materials, crossover design and geometry applied in the OBERON series has been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. This ensures a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion. This is why all DALI speakers are not designed to be toed-in.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

The rounded edges and rustic fabric of these new DALI front grilles add a lighter and more contemporary visual look to the OBERON series. This look is enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminium base mounted on the two floor-standing models.

WOOD FIBRE CONE

The OBERON woofer features a wood fibre cone with a blend of fine grain paper pulp, reinforced with wood fibres, which creates a stiff, light-weight and well-behaving structure. In combination with a low-loss surround and spider suspension, this cone reproduces the micro details in the signal - unfiltered and with high accuracy.

PATENTED SMC

The iron pole piece of the OBERON woofer magnet is crowned by a patented SMC disk - minimizing the negative effects of the iron. The use of the SMC disk greatly reduces mechanical distortion, which lowers third order distortion. This allows for a longer listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detail for its price class. 

PRODUCT DETAILS 

With the launch of the DALI OBERON loudspeaker series, we have picked the best elements from our current speakers and brought them together in a series that delivers on audio quality, looks and versatility.

This large floor-standing three-way OBERON 9 features one 7" and two 9” wood fibre woofers - all three based on SMC. Supported by an oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter.

This, combined with the large but elegant cabinet, delivers the very best in deep bass and large room performance. Despite its size, this speaker is surprisingly delicate and will impress with its ability to render any music style naturally and lifelike even at lower volumes. This makes the OBERON 9 perfect for any music or movie style.

Despite its site, we have made it easy to integrate the OBERON 9 into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the speaker has been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern in the listening area. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover.

As result, you will experience a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. This is important as you are rarely seated directly in front of your loudspeakers when listening to music. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion, as these will always be stronger in an on-axis response. This is also the reason why all DALI speakers are not designed to be toed-in.
