OBERON 1 C
OBERON 1 C
This compact speaker is the perfect match for those looking for great, cable-free sound in smaller rooms where space is at a premium. The DALI OBERON 1 C is part of our high-performance ecosystem of wireless active speakers and amplifiers.
Easy to Position
The wide dispersion pattern of the drivers ensures well-integrated sound that drastically reduces off-axis harmonic distortion.
Low Latency
The SOUND HUB COMPACT uses a proprietary 30-bit wireless protocol to transmit to OBERON C with a typical latency of less than 15 ms.
Patented SMC
The woofer magnet's iron pole-piece includes a patented SMC disc that greatly reduces mechanical distortion for a relaxed midrange and lots of detail.
Active Speaker
Each driver is powered by a dynamic, closed-loop, 50 Watt peak, Class D power amplifier for exceptional sound quality.
Finish: Dark Walnut (Vinyl)

With the DALI EQUI ecosystem of active wireless speakers, music lovers and audiophiles no longer have to choose between incredible sound quality and convenient integration. Listen to music via Bluetooth, CD, Internet radio or turntable, or integrate this great sounding compact speaker into a multichannel surround sound setup.
WOOD FIBRE CONE
Revealing the minutest details
The 5¼" low-loss bass/midrange driver used in the OBERON 1 C features our proprietary fine paper pulp and reinforced wood fibre composite diaphragm, which creates a stiff, lightweight structure. In combination with a low loss surround and spider suspension, the woofer reproduces the minutest details, unfiltered and with high accuracy. It also features an advanced copper-coated aluminium voice-coil wire and our unique SMC (Soft Magnet Composite) magnet technology.
REDUCING DISTORTION
DALI's patented SMC reducing distortion
The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) in the OBERON 1 C 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 1 C to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.SMC-equipped drivers are also particularly well suited to speakers with active amplification, like the OBERON 1 C.

Accuracy & clarity in every detail
The OBERON 1 C power amplification comprises two 50 watt-peak, closed-loop, Class D power amplifiers chosen specifically for their sound quality and dynamic ability. One amplifier powers the high-frequency driver, while the other powers the bass/mid driver. The 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio of the power amplifiers ensures that even the smallest detail in a quiet musical passage is reproduced with clarity and accuracy.
OPTIMISED CABINET
CNC-machined high strength MDF panels
The OBERON 1 C cabinet is constructed from CNC-machined, high strength MDF panels and finished in a variety of wood-effect or matt white laminates. Strategically positioned damping materials inside the cabinet maximise midrange performance without degrading the bass transient response and bandwidth. When it comes to placement, the OBERON 1 C can be stand-mounted using the DALI CONNECT Stand E-600, integrated into AV furniture, placed on a shelf or mounted on a wall using the rear keyhole slots.

STEREONET
There is depth and obvious layering to what is generally an open and precise soundstage – and that still rings true with denser compositions. We play The Theory Of Everything by Jóhann Jóhannsson and the DALIs display a tight organisation in their presentation of the piano, string and percussion instrumental, while also proving astute in capturing the dynamic surges of the string ensemble.
Read full reviewDALI's smallest genuine active speaker DALI OBERON 1 C gives you high quality wireless hi-fi, at a price that is hard to beat. [...] Well laid out and detailed reproduction, and an impressive deep bass in relation to the size. The price is really good!
Read full reviewA balanced yet vibrant sounding performer, DALI's OBERON 1 C can't defy the laws of physics but has a good go all the same. It offers a larger performance than you'd expect, one which pushes sound out into the room for all to hear. There's a surprising amount of body, considering how compact the box is. For me, the fine treble performance, connectivity via the SOUND HUB and overall ease of use really make this speaker special.
