Bass and Midrange Drivers

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.

Reflex Ports

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.
