Major features
The OBERON1 is the most compact speaker in the series. Even though it is small, it is equipped with an ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter with a large diameter of 29 mm, and a 5.25-inch (130 mm) wood fiber cone woofer equipped with SMC drives the mid-low range. The cabinet has both the internal volume required for sufficient low-frequency reproduction and the optimum balance for a small room or a second audio system.
Four cabinet colors are available.
The dark walnut and black ash models have a matte black front baffle.
Light oak and white models have a matte white front baffle.
Two grill colors are available.
The dark walnut and black ash models come standard with a shadow black grille, and the light oak and white models come standard with a mountain gray grille.
DALI's mission is to "play the sound that the artist intended as it is." In this mission, we poured various elements that DALI has cultivated over 35 years since its establishment into OBERON. OBERON realizes affordable price and high quality sound that exceeds the class.γ» γ» γ» γ» It is DALI's wish to have more people "rediscover the magic of music".
The series lineup consists of 2 bookshelf speakers, 2 floor standing speakers, 1 center speed car, and 1 newly added on-wall speaker, all 6 models, and each model has color variations. Available in 4 colors. The sound that goes beyond that class demonstrates excellent high performance not only in traditional stereo HiFi but also in home theater use.
Equipped with a woofer driver that uses the SMC magnet system
For the first time in this class, the SMC magnet system is used. (SMC is used for a part of the pole piece of the woofer driver.) This SMC technology reduces the magnetic modulation and eddy current (eddy current) generated inside the magnetic circuit, and as a result, it occurs around 500Hz to 2kHz3 The next harmonic distortion is greatly reduced to achieve high sound quality. * SMC: Soft magnetic compound
Wood fiber cone low loss woofer
The diaphragm of the woofer uses a wood fiber cone, which can be said to be DALI's trademark. It has uniform vibration characteristics and suppresses biased vibration to achieve accurate, natural and organic sound. It responds swiftly to all signals contained in the original source, from explosive high-level sounds to minute signals. OBERON 3 and 7 use a larger 7-inch (180mm) woofer than usual. It has a surface area about 15% larger than that of a normal 6.5-inch woofer, so more dynamic playback is possible.
Uses a 4-layer CCAW voice coil
A 4-layer winding voice coil is used to strengthen the driving force of the woofer. Although the 4-layer winding voice coil improves the driving force, it increases the weight and may interfere with the reproduction of the midrange. Therefore, by using the lighter weight CCAW (copper-coated aluminum wire), we have achieved both driving force and excellent sound quality. (Only the on-wall model uses a 2-layer winding voice coil.)
Large diameter 29mm tweeter adopted for all models
The tweeter of each model uses a soft dome tweeter based on ultra-lightweight silk fabric. This large diameter tweeter has high power handling and covers up to lower frequency bands. Optimal transfer from the midrange / woofer to the tweeter is ensured, achieving natural, balanced and homogeneous midrange reproduction.
A soft felt absorber is attached to the pole piece top. This damping material eliminates unwanted sound reflections from the flat pole pieces used in traditional simple structure tweeters.
In addition, it is equipped with a new tweeter plate that realizes wide dispersion.
High rigidity MDF enclosure
Adopted MDF enclosure with stronger internal reinforcement structure. We have prepared multiple types of internal sound absorbing materials and optimized them according to the model and location. In addition, a rear bass reflex port is adopted to realize straighter low-frequency reproduction. (Front port only for VOKAL) In addition, the bass reflex ports of OBERON 1, 3, 5, and 7 adopt a type with good airflow with flares on both ends.
The on-wall model uses a unique port system. By utilizing the reflection of the wall surface, the rich low range that is hard to imagine from the volume of this thin cabinet is reproduced.
More sophisticated Danish design
The cosmetic design has been significantly redesigned, and the cabinet colors are available in four colors: dark walnut (DW), black ash (BA), light oak (LO), and white (WH).
The DW and BA models have been transformed into a more fearless look, while the newly added LO and WH models have a more sophisticated and stylish look.
The new grille with rounded four corners creates a more contemporary atmosphere. The DW / BA model comes standard with a shadow black grille and the LO / WH comes standard with a mountain gray.
The new aluminum base that suppresses unnecessary vibration has also changed to a more elegant shape.
The front baffle has been changed to a matte finish that matches the interior better in both black and white.
