Time Coherence
Ensuring perfect teamwork between the drivers in a loudspeaker is the key to delivering a realistic, transient response and three-dimensional sound image. By ensuring accurate timing and perfectly optimised handover from driver to driver, the audio signal arrives at the listener's ears at exactly the right time.
By designing the frequency response, sound dispersion, baffle placement and speaker enclosure for the best-possible total response, roll-off and phase response profile, we also minimise the need for crossover correction.
When it comes to bass ports, several factors can jeopardise overall time coherence. Incorrect tuning, for example, can result in a slow, one-note bass performance. We therefore tune our bass ports to support and relieve the driver at its self-resonance point, removing the motion strain on the driver to keep it tight and well timed. Also, by optimising the placement of the bass ports within the cabinet and the chamber the driver is working in, we maximise airflow and driver agility. The result is low acoustic resistance and optimum transient response, which translates to a natural and lively sound reproduction.
The Eight DALI Sound Philosophies
Amplifier Optimised
The interplay between amplifier and speaker is an essential part of improving the quality of sound from the amplifier, which we achieve by creating a stable, linear environment for the amplifier when driving the loudspeaker load.
Clarity
Delivering a clear audio signal is a vital part of recreating an enjoyable listening experience. We do this by minimising loss in the information and ensuring smooth and seamless reproduction in both the time and frequency domain.
Holographic Sound Imaging
By using only DALI-designed, custom-built drivers with carefully matched crossovers that minimise the need for frequency correction, we create loudspeakers with near-zero signal loss.
Individually Crafted
By striving for the very best in industrial manufacturing and individual craftsmanship, we ensure that every loudspeaker is of the same high quality.
Low Loss
With extremely low mechanical loss, we preserve even the most delicate acoustic details, also at very low listening levels. This is the best way to recreate the authenticity and liveliness of the original recording… just how the artist intended it.
Low-Resonance Cabinet
Every DALI speaker cabinet supplies the optimum volume for each driver to work in, while providing just the right amount of acoustic/mechanical platform for the drivers.
Time Coherence
Ensuring perfect teamwork between the drivers in a loudspeaker is the key to delivering a realistic, transient response and three-dimensional sound image.
Wide Dispersion
The enjoyment of music and movies is paramount to DALI. That’s why we design our loudspeakers to give you the best possible experience, wherever you are in the room.
