Dali Center Channel Speaker Oberon Vokal Dark Walnut
DALI OBERON is a breakthrough, it’s the first entry-level loudspeaker to incorporate DALI’s patented SMC technology, drastically reducing non-linear magnetic distortion so you can hear your favourite music like you’ve never heard it before. With new oversized tweeters, wide-dispersion wood-fibre woofers and striking Danish cabinet design, DALI OBERON sets a new benchmark for affordable audiophile speakers. It’s time to rediscover the magic of music.
The DALI OBERON Vokal is designed to be the perfect match with any of the speakers in the OBERON series to form a complete surround system. Delivering a precise, clear and detailed sound performance for both your movie as well concert sound track. The placement of the front-facing bass port on the front baffle supports different placement options in your TV furniture.
Cabinet
The cabinet construction of the OBERON Vokal is composed from high-density CNC machined MDF board - dressed in carefully selected high-grade vinyl. The very rigid construction of the centre speaker cabinet is due to solid bracing across the inside of the cabinet for reinforcement. This improves the stiffness and practically eliminates resonance within the cabinet.
Tweeter
The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series - including the OBERON Vokal - combining well proven technologies from the existing DALI ranges with new features. The large size of the membrane lets the tweeter generate higher sound pressure with less excursion, keeping the voice coil motion to a precise minimum.
Woofer
The 2 x 5.25" SMC based woofers used in the OBERON Vokal are dedicated to reproduce the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. The OBERON woofers have been optimised with a new wood fibre structured cone, which is constructed from a blend of fine grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibres. This creates a stiff, light-weight and well-behaving structure.
Easy Integration
DALI makes it easy to integrate your loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the OBERON series 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. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and 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.
Finishes
The DALI OBERON series is available in four finishes: Black Ash, White, Dark Walnut and Light Oak. Matched with a matte black or white front baffle. The OBERON series introduces a brand new front grille design with rounded edges that add a lighter and contemporary visual look to the speaker series. 'Mountain Grey' is the standard grille supplied with the light finishes while Shadow Black is standard on the dark finishes. Marshmallow White is available as an accessory.
SMC
Mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents is greatly reduced due to the use of Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) in the OBERON Vokal woofer. This improvement in the magnet motor system results in a lowering of the third order distortion. This allows the OBERON Vokal to present longer listening pleasure with a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing for the class.
