DALI Oberon On-Wall Speaker in Dark Walnut (Pair)

The DALI OBERON ON-WALL is a slim, discreet and surprisingly powerful on-wall speaker. Featuring a unique down-firing bass port system, the OBERON ON-WALL renders large-speaker audio in an attractive, compact design. Perfecting stereo & surround sound With the OBERON ON-WALL, we've combined the best elements from our existing speaker range to create an on-wall speaker that delivers on audio quality, looks and versatility. The unique down-firing bass port design lets the OBERON ON-WALL use the wall to extend the bass performance, making it the perfect choice for both stereo and surround-sound setups. We've also made it easy to integrate the speaker into any room, as the driver materials and geometry create a wide dispersion pattern in the listening area so you can experience well-integrated sound, even off axis. Optimised with new wood fibre-structure The 5¼" low loss woofer used in the OBERON ON-WALL has been optimised with a new wood fibre structured cone dedicated to reproducing the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. Constructed from a blend of fine-grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibres, the woofer has a stiff, yet lightweight structure. And when combined with the low loss surround and spider suspension, the OBERON ON-WALL woofer reproduces the most minute details in the signal, unfiltered and with high accuracy. DALI's patented SMC reducing distortion The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) in the OBERON ON-WALL greatly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. The result is a magnet motor system with a drastic reduction in third-order distortion, which allows the OBERON ON-WALL to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange, and a surprising amount of detailing in its class. Combining proven technologies & features The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series, combining well-proven technologies from our 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 controlled minimum. The tweeter front plate near the dome has been designed with similar geometry to the OPTICON and RUBICON tweeters to create the optimal working conditions for the soft dome. This results in extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low colouration. Rigid structure to eliminate resonance The OBERON ON-WALL cabinet is constructed from a high density, CNC machined MDF board dressed in high-grade vinyl. The extremely rigid structure is achieved with solid bracings across the inside of the cabinet, which practically eliminates cabinet resonance. To optimise the timing, the speaker is fitted with acoustic damping material internally along the sides, top and bottom. This creates a more direct contact between the woofer and bass port, which delivers more precise bass and increased midrange attack. Utilize wall to extend bass performance With its unique bass port design, the OBERON ON-WALL takes things to a whole new level. Originally introduced in the DALI RUBICON LCR, the OBERON ON-WALL bass ports fire downwards, allowing the ports and the wall to work together to extend the bass reproduction far beyond what would otherwise be possible from such a compact cabinet..
