Striking sound that can both soar and soothe is at the heart of the DALI OPTICON range alongside purity of image at any volume, rich detail and a sweeping soundstage - as always; designed in admiration of music. All models feature DALI's own unerringly accurate woofer and tweeter modules, plus our proprietary SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) pole piece.
The OPTICON MK2 bass/mid driver magnet system consists of a large ferrite ring magnet surrounding a pole piece manufactured entirely of the unique DALI SMC material. The pole piece and the ferrite magnet are secured between soft iron front and back plates to create the appropriate magnetic field for the voice-coil.
The newly introduced OPTICON MK2 Dual Flare technique brings port design into the realm of aerodynamics with exit and entry flares carefully designed to minimise turbulence at the airflow rate expected from the port diameter and tuning frequency. Dual Flare enables OPTICON MK2 reflex ports to remain laminar and work effectively to reinforce low frequency performance to a significantly higher volume level than would otherwise be the case.
Manufacturing in Pairs
There’s many respects in which DALI stands out among the crowd of HiFi speaker manufacturers, but one in particular is our approach to pair matching – in terms of both acoustics and finish quality. Examine a pair of HiFi speakers from many manufacturers and you’ll almost certainly see that they each have different serial numbers, often some numerical distance apart. This indicates that manufacturing may have taken place months apart; perhaps even on different production lines. Examine a pair of DALI speakers however and you’ll see that they carry the same serial number, with just a simple extension to denote Left or Right. It’s a simple approach that costs very little, yet it results in huge benefits for the customer.
