DALI OPTICON 1 4.75" Woofer 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker - Black Ash Vinyl (Pair)

• The DALI OPTICON 1 is a compact stand loudspeaker, designed to be placed close to the wall or ed on it. It combines its almost 5 litres of air capacity with a rear-ed bass port, a 4 ¾ inch low-loss Wood Fibre Woofer, a 26 mm ultra-light Soft Dome Tweeter and gold-plated terminals and what the DALI OPTICON 1 delivers is the perfect balance of clear, detailed midrange and an impressive tight bass that belies its size..
• The OPTICON 1 features the same low-loss Wood Fibre Woofer found in DALI's ship EPICON series, alongside DALI's unique SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) magnet motor system and a brand new Soft Dome Tweeter developed for the OPTICON series, all of which works together along with a individual bass reflex port for the woofer to produce audio exactly as the artist originally envisioned it..
• Keeping the manufacturing of the OPTICON series firmly in the hands of DALI they utilize their large and efficient woodworking facility in Denmark to handle everything from cutting out the Medium Density Fibre board (MDF) cabinet to applying the vinyl. The ing of the drivers and the final tests and approvals on each and every speaker is also handled directly at DALI's own assembly lines in their Danish factory..
• The OPTICON 1 relies on the bass reflex principle. The bass reflex port has been tuned to minimize distortion from the woofers, and to control the time response of the roll-off from the bass system. Timing is the absolute keyword when tuning bass ports. Correct timing without any unwanted interaction between the drivers and frequencies creates a holographic soundstage. Research clearly shows that speakers with superior time coherence deliver enhanced sonic realism..
• Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) is a coated magnet granule that can be shaped into any form that you would want. SMC has many advantages, and used in a speakers magnet motor system it result in a significant reduction of distortion from mechanical loss. SMC’s unique ability to deliver a high magnetic conductivity and a very low electrical conductivity delivers all the wanted qualities of a really good speaker magnet without the traditional downsides..

Combining the clean, cutting edge lines of Danish design with a combination of both tried-and-tested and new technologies, the DALI Opticon is a seven-strong range of stunning speakers. All models feature DALI’s own unerringly accurate woofer and tweeter modules, plus their proprietary SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) pole piece. Striking sound that can both soar and soothe is at the heart of the DALI Opticon range alongside purity of image at any volume, rich detail and a sweeping sound stage. As always they are designed in admiration of music. Small but perfectly formed, the DALI OPTICON 1 stand- speaker is curiously capacious with a compact cabinet that, despite its dimensions, holds almost five litres of air allowing for greater sympathetic resonance and adding to the pitch-perfect power of this deceptively mighty model. Opticon 1 are small but highly enthusiastic in their approach to replay with a tight rhythmic bass end allied to a clear and detailed midrange and top end from the soft dome tweeter. Featuring the same low-loss, wood fibre woofers that are found in Dali's reference grade Epicon speakers and a brand new soft dome tweeter, the Opticon 1 delivers sound good enough to please the most demanding. Designed for precision and accuracy of sound, the Opticon lets you hear the music exactly as the artist intended. Rather than 'buying in' cabinets, Dali produces the Opticon cabinets in-house. This means they can be sure of the quality and consistency of build. With compact dimensions the Opticon 1 is ideal for a wide range of uses. Perfect as a quality speaker in a smaller room and even good enough to be used as a desktop monitor for music producers, the Opticon 1 is a true reference performer. Alternatively, the Opticon 1s can be used as satellite speakers for a breathtakingly impressive high-end home cinema speaker system. For big sound from a small cabinet the Dali Opticon 1 sets the standard.
