The OBERON 7 floorstanding speaker by DALI represents the pinnacle of deep bass performance and large room acoustics. Despite its imposing physical proportions, this speaker offers an unexpectedly delicate, natural, and lifelike sound experience. A standout feature of the OBERON 7 is its ease of positioning within any room environment. This is attributed to the wide dispersion pattern of its drivers, which ensures a cohesive and well-integrated sound throughout the room, effectively minimizing off-axis harmonic distortion.
In terms of aesthetics, the OBERON 7 is marked by its contemporary design. The speaker's look is enhanced by rounded edges and a fabric grille that impart a modern touch. This contemporary style is further accentuated by the elegantly shaped aluminum base that supports the floorstanding model, making it visually appealing in a variety of settings.
The performance of the OBERON 7 is underpinned by its use of wood fibre cones. These cones boast a stiff and lightweight structure, which enables the reproduction of highly accurate and uncoloured audio details. Additionally, the speaker incorporates a patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) disc within the woofer magnet’s iron pole-piece. This innovation significantly decreases mechanical distortion, leading to a relaxed midrange with an abundance of detail.
The OBERON 7 is finished in a sophisticated Dark Walnut vinyl, which adds to its refined appearance. The speaker is designed with ease of integration in mind, featuring driver materials and geometries specifically created to achieve a broad dispersion pattern. This design philosophy extends to the crossover, enabling the speaker to deliver a well-integrated sound that remains coherent even when listened to from a pronounced off-axis angle. The wide dispersion pattern also reduces harmonic distortion and diffraction-related frequency distortion, negating the need for toe-in, which is a standard practice for many speaker systems. This thoughtful engineering makes the OBERON 7 both a visual and auditory delight, seamlessly merging into any living space while delivering exceptional audio performance.
