EASY INTEGRATION

Well-integrated sound, even off axis

The OBERON 5 is at home in any room. The driver materials and geometry we use are purpose-designed to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover to deliver a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit of a wide dispersion pattern is that harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion are significantly reduced – this is also the reason why DALI speakers are not designed to be toed in.

REDUCING DISTORTION

DALI's patented SMC reducing distortion

The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) in the OBERON 5 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 5 to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.

OPTIMISED CABINET

Cabinet design beyond 'just' good looks

The OBERON 5 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. The bass ports at the rear of the cabinet optimise room integration by using a rear wall surface to improve bass performance. The elegantly shaped aluminium base also gives the floorstanding OBERON 5 a lighter, elevated look.
