The Rega RX-FIVE loudspeaker system delivers balance, detail and dynamics thanks to a unique handmade set of three Rega designed drivers and crossover. The newly developed DX-125 bass mid-range driver (using a doped paper cone) is at the heart of the RX range and combines perfectly with the Rega ZRR high frequency and RR7.8 bass unit. These custom units are mounted in a newly designed cabinet enclosure constructed from 18mm MDF and covered in a choice of three beautiful real wood veneers.The RX-FIVE will integrate perfectly into any home and deliver exceptional performance and musicality with a smooth and accurate bass response.
Small mini monitor type loudspeakers have become very popular for those wishing for a high quality sound with a minimal visual effect.
Although the mini monitor type speaker can be quite accurate and indeed sound better than many bigger loudspeakers, which obviously have not been made with the same care, the Achilles heel of a small loudspeaker is the bass extension and sound stage size. A big loudspeaker can produce low octaves and give you a large sound stage ideal for large orchestral and high level rock; however they can be an eyesore and dominate the room visually. ProAc have set out to try and achieve in a small speaker a sound normally associated with a larger speaker particularly the bass response.
The original ProAc Tablette was launched 30 years ago to instant critical acclaim and redefined performance in mini-monitor class loudspeakers at that time. There have been nine incarnations of the Tablette to date and each one has seen improvements in bass extension, midrange transparency and imaging. Reproducing a large soundstage is a difficult task for a small loudspeaker, because of lack of bass power due to the limitations of the cabinet size. After a year’s intense R&D however, ProAc are confident in having significantly improved this area of performance with only marginal increments to the cabinet’s dimensions.
With the new ProAc Tablette Anniversary speakers extra bass power and soundstage size comes from a new 5 inch mid-bass driver which utilizes a Kevlar cone designed by ProAc. This drive unit gives uncanny bass extension, and is loaded by one large, rear port. A new ProAc developed 19mm dome tweeter features a special material on the front plate to dissipate phase anomalies and cancellations. The drivers are seamlessly integrated via a high quality crossover network. As well as improved efficiency and power handling, the ProAc Tablette Anniversary produces a significantly larger soundstage. Shut your eyes and the classic Tablette, trademark ability to produce a large soundstage from such a small enclosure, is now taken to a much higher level
The new ProAc Tablette 10 is a tenth generation of the Tablettes launched in 1979. The Tablette 10 is an all new design, using a thin walled heavy damped infinite baffle enclosure which is the same as the BBC LS3/5a. This design allows the Tablette 10 to be positioned against the wall, unlike a ported enclosure (not recommended).
The new Tablette 10 has cutting edge new drive units, the bass driver has a Paginna Mika cone which is reed leaves mixed with Mika and coated with an acoustic dope.
The crossover has been specially designed for a sealed enclosure with a network which shapes the response to give a rich bass and an extremely transparent midrange. The tweeter is our well known 1 inch silk dome used in many of ProAc’s other models.
The K-Series marks the beginning of a new era for Epos. Designed by Luke Creek, the 2 ½ way K3 floor-standing loudspeaker is the largest model within this range of loudspeakers.
The initial concept started out with a thought about how to take conventional cabinet loudspeakers into a new area of the market. This spawned the idea of how to make a loudspeaker the hub, or central place, for your Hi-Fi system. This concept had to be achieved whilst preserving Epos’ high-end roots.
The K-Series has a number of unique design features that enables it to achieve its design goal. These features include: stylish looks, High Velocity Slot Ports (HVSP), rear mounted drivers, detachable rear baffles and upgradability to fully powered active mode.

The K5 surpasses expectations in its ability to deliver a wide soundstage and detailed bass from such a small unit. This little speaker also makes a wonderful AV satellite speaker or desktop companion.
At the heart of the timeless elegance of the Temptation lies the Evidence technology concept, housed in an alluring slim cabinet. It makes it possible to achieve sonic perfection while offering optimal integration into any living room.
Similar to the uncompromising modular construction of the Evidence Master, the bass, mid, and treble drive units as well as the crossover are mechanically isolated from each other in order to perfect every minute detail to realize the highest sonic performance level possible.
As the Evidence Temptation is more compact in its overall dimensions, its cabinet does not necessitate three individual sections.
Two MSP cone mid range drivers and two soft-dome tweeters are integrated in the middle section which itself is manufactured from solid, CNC-machined aluminum. This material’s attributes together with its specifically rounded sides ensures uniform and uncolored sound dispersion.
The completely transparent and relaxed reproduction of the highest frequencies provides an accurate sonic experience. The tweeters’ fine soft domes are each protected by an acoustically neutral slim titanium bar
For many years the Response 1SC has been one of the world’s leading mini monitors but now the D1 has stolen its crown. High tech improvements have been made to the cabinet, bass driver, and crossover network.
The cabinet baffle is slimmer to aid dispersion, and now has a special damping material making the cabinet very heavy and inert.
The all-new bass driver is now on a ProAc chassis, this has a raised spider and similar cone material to the D2. It also features the EXCEL magnet system and a new acrylic damping phase plug.
Further improvements have been made to the crossover network. The results are a punchier bass, richer more open midrange, with sweet and detailed high frequencies. The D1 is also 1.5 dB more efficient than the 1SC making it easier to drive for those who have amplifiers with a lower output.
The Response D18 has proven to be one of ProAc’s most successful loudspeakers receiving critical worldwide acclaim. However, the D18 is only available with a dome tweeter, so to satisfy demand for people wanting a ribbon tweeter ProAc has redesigned the D18 using an upgraded cabinet with new bass loading, new crossover network and the ProAc ribbon tweeter used in other ProAc models.
This new exciting model is called the D20R and with the upgrades the sound quality has improved in all areas. Improvements comprise of a new cabinet with bass loading used in D30 and D40 models. A new crossover network and a ProAc ribbon tweeter as used in D30 D40 K6. The result is a wonderful open and expansive midrange with a substantial bass, ProAc ribbon tweeter giving sweet and detailed high frequencies, a large sound stage is also a bonus.
The Rega RX-THREE loudspeaker system delivers balance, detail and dynamics thanks to a unique handmade set of three Rega designed drivers and crossover. The newly developed DX-125 bass mid-range driver (using a doped paper cone) is at the heart of the RX range and combines perfectly with the Rega ZRR high frequency and RR125.8 bass unit. These custom units are mounted in a newly designed cabinet enclosure constructed from 18mm MDF and covered in a choice of three, beautiful, real wood veneers. The RX-THREE will integrate perfectly into any home and deliver exceptional performance and musicality with a smooth and accurate bass response.
The Rega RX-ONE loudspeaker system delivers balance, detail and dynamics thanks to a unique handmade set of Rega designed drivers and crossovers.The newly developed DX-125 bass mid-range driver (using a doped paper cone) is at the heart of the RX range and combines perfectly with the Rega ZRR high frequency unit. Both mounted in a larger cabinet constructed from 18mm MDF and covered in a choice of beautiful real wood veneers, the RX-ONE will integrate perfectly into any home delivering exceptional performance within a wide range of systems.
ProAc’s latest the studio 148 is a narrow columnar design with a stabilising plinth and bass port pre-drilled for adjustable spikes. The beautiful and real wood veneers are impeccable making it suitable for all types of room design. There are 3 drive units in each enclosure, the two 6.5 inch units cover bass frequencies but each one has been mechanically tuned to cover mid frequencies.
To improve dispersion the upper bass driver has a phase plug whilst the lower unit has a ProAc open weave cap. This gives the 148 tremendous bass power and depth with a clear precise mid range. The bass drivers crossover to the ProAc 1 inch silk dome tweeter used in many other ProAc models.
The bass drivers are loaded by a port in the bottom of the cabinet and through the plinth. Spikes are used to raise the cabinet allowing air to move under the enclosure and through the port. Improvements can be heard in all areas from a tight, cleaner and extended bass through a detailed mid-range with a sweet and detailed high frequency, the 148 also has a large spectacular sound stage with pin point imagery.
The studio 148 comes in a variety of real wood veneers and is above average for efficiency, meaning the use of small high quality valve amplifiers and transistor amplifiers.
The new studio 118 is a new stand mounting design. It comes in a variety of real wood veneers and the sound quality belies the size of the enclosure.
The 118 has a new bass driver, with a great deal of research into cone materials, the new 118 unit excels in bass and mid-range performance and is further helped by a phase plug. The bass driver is loaded through a port making a reflex design, it also has a new magnet assembly giving a better bass response with a more open and better dispersion on mid-range frequencies.
The tweeter has our iconic ProAc 20mm tweeter to cover high frequencies which it does in a sweet and detailed manner. A new crossover has been design to match the two units to give a wonderfully large sound stage with pinpoint imagery. The 118 is excellent on all types of music and more efficient than previous models, which make it suitable for lower powered valve and transistor amplifiers.
The ProAc K6 is one of our most successful designs and the plans to make a larger K8 have finally come to fruition.
The K8 uses a larger 8 inch bass driver than the K6, the cone is made from Kevlar weave material, then polished and concentrically weighted.
With a new wider cabinet, the midrange horn could now be redesigned. Stewart Tyler decided to make a very shallow midrange horn from billet aluminium. The midrange horn being very shallow gives excellent dispersion this widens the sound stage and reveals details right down to the finest brushed cymbal.
The ProAc ribbon tweeter is also used as it is in most of ProAc’s high end speakers. The tweeters are wonderfully natural and fine detail is produced even at high levels with comfort.
The 8 inch Kevlar bass drivers are made in house these bass drivers are ported through a curved tude in the base of the loudspeaker.
On extensive listening tests it was noticed that the K8 had a wonderfully wide sound stage and image, mainly down to our new shallow horn. Also new was the crossover and a new board was designed with heavy tracking and only audio file components along with studio quality inductors.
The K8 is designed for those wishing to have a speaker from the top of the tree in terms of sound and build quality, this new design has produced a very large sound stage and along with clean and extended bass response and finished with our ribbon tweeter, I’m sure you will agree that their sounds are perfectly natural.
ProAc is proud to announce the launch of the K6 loudspeaker.
Following the successful incorporation of carbon fibre cone technology in the Carbon Pro Series, ProAc have been researching other materials for possible inclusion in their high end loudspeakers. The results of this research have come to fruition in the shape of the new K series which utilises cones manufactured from the material, Kevlar. Kevlar benefits from having similar properties to carbon fibre, being light and at the same time rigid. The ProAc 6 1/2″ drivers utilised in the K6 feature Kevlar cones made by the same special method as our carbon fibre coned drive units; the cone is painstakingly produced from a mould by hand, a labour intensive process taking many hours to complete.
Although Kevlar has proven to be an excellent cone material sonically, the Kevlar ProAc bass drivers require a different porting mechanism in order to realise their full potential. The bass is loaded by an almost invisible vent to produce a wonderfully weighty but exceptionally fast bass response. These drivers are seamlessly crossed over to a 2″ dome midrange, the horn of which is manufactured from billet aluminium and for the high frequencies, ProAc’s proven ribbon tweeter has been chosen. The cabinet on the K6 is a traditional mixture from ProAc of HDF materials of different thicknesses heavily damped with bitumen. Indeed the carcass including bitumen is 35mm thick. The combination of research into carbon fibre and its ingredients have produced a stunningly accurate and detailed loudspeaker, having an electrostatic or panel quality without the drawbacks. Sound is reproduced effortlessly with incredible detail and pinpoint imagery, which often can be muddled by conventional drive units.
The K6 is designed for audiophiles and music lovers who are looking for a true high end loudspeaker offering smooth reproduction and an impressively flat response throughout the frequency range. The legendary ProAc qualities of large soundstaging and pin-sharp imaging capabilities complete a highly musical and engaging transducer.
After a year in research and development the D48 is now ready for production.
Areas of improvement have been mid-range detail and a cleaner, faster and more extended bass response. A new studio monitor quality bass driver was designed for the D48. It features a special impregnated cone and mid frequencies are tuned by a cap of greater size than standard. This gives the new unit greater mid-range detail along with excellent bass control giving a tighter and more extended response. The two new bass drivers are each loaded through our special floor loading with side vents, this makes the loudspeaker easier to sight and reacts less to surroundings. The two bass units are then seamlessly mated to our ribbon or dome tweeter depending on your preference. With such a large slim floor standing design the sound stage is superb being very large and with pinpoint imagery. Another achievement for the D48 is its ability to create large orchestral works as well as heavy rock music.
The D48 has a high quality filter network designed by Stewart Tyler comprising of the finest components, ProAc cable on a special board. The filter is also split for bi-amping and bi-wiring. This is one of the best designs from ProAc and should please all audio files regardless of their taste in music.
ProAc have updated the D30 to a D30S. Still available in a dome or ribbon tweeter – Response D30DS and D30RS respectively
ProAc have developed a new bass driver using a cone similar to that used in our Response D48, the cone is made from pulp and Mika and is coated with an acoustic dope it also now has a phase plug to improve detail at the crossover point, which will give a more natural sound.
The Response D30S’ now offer a beautifully flat response. The new bass driver and crossover will give better mid-range detail and a wider sound stage.
The D30S offers an exceptional accurate portrayal of the music with powerful bass response and excellent midrange detail with low colouration. They also offer a resistive load and are easy to drive. We use a crossover with the finest quality components split for bi-wiring and bi-amping through our beautiful nickel silver terminals.
Before we start, we just want to say this: Evidence isn’t a ‘luxury’ speaker. It doesn’t have gold-plated screws or endangered wood inlays, and it doesn’t make boastful (and meaningless) claims about the ethereal nature of sound.
It’s simply the best way to hear your music.
Evidence Platinum encompasses all the values and ambitions we had when we started Dynaudio in 1977 – to reproduce music without colouration, effects or distortion, so you can hear it unvarnished: the way it was meant to be heard.
Each speaker is handcrafted to near-impossible standards in our factory in Denmark – overseen by experts in furniture polishing, acoustics, materials science (the people who handle the proprietary Magnesium Silicate Polymer material we use for our drivers and the precision-coating we put on our soft-dome tweeters), woodworking, CNC machining and more. And it doesn’t leave us until it’s perfect.
The Evidence Master is comprised of three individual interlocking sections. The technically identical upper and lower cabinet sections house the bass drive units, while the middle section contains the midrange and treble drive units as well as the crossover, the latter being further isolated within its own individual sub-compartment. This construction offers a tremendous performance advantage, as each section can be optimized for the differing requirements of precise bass, midrange and high frequency reproduction.
The middle section features a massive CNC-machined solid aluminum baffle which houses two special Dynaudio MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) cone midrange drivers and two perfectly matched and meticulously selected Dynaudio coated soft-dome tweeters.
The elegant design of the aluminum baffle is a direct result of geometric optimization for absolutely perfect sound dispersion. The mechanical properties of aluminum, in conjunction with the mass of the middle section guarantee perfect resonance control – reproduction of high frequencies remains completely uncolored so even the finest musical details are precisely resolved.
Standing 97.8 cm, the flagship model of the series is both noticeable and contemporarily becoming in its high-gloss lacquered finish. If you really need the full blown sonic experience in a mid to large sized room at an affordable level, this is where to go!
Being the Magnum Opus of the series, only ZENSOR 7 is equipped with 2×7” woofers. The larger cone area on all ZENSOR’s compared to market standards ensures a highly effortless and authentic reproduction of musical dynamics. Add to this a 25 mm soft dome tweeter, which, in order to reproduce high frequencies of uppermost accuracy, is just half the weight of most soft dome tweeters on the market today.
The RUBICON 2 stand speaker is the perfect blend between compact size and large sound performance. With the solid MDF cabinet, the RUBICON 2 has a perfect working environment for its ultra-light 29 mm soft dome tweeter, 6.5 inch wood fibre low-loss driver, and gold-plated terminals. It is rich on detail with an impressive soundstage and has surprisingly large bass reproduction with both precision and timing
The absolute pinnacle of the EPICON series, the EPICON 8 delivers dramatically rich and detailed sound that will blow your mind and captivate your senses. The loudspeaker is the result of a passionate, tireless quest to reach perfection.
Prepare yourself for musical indulgence like never before – and for a beautifully statuesque design your guests will envy.
The EPICON 6 is no less that DALI’s new reference loudspeaker. Standing on the shoulders of virtues from the acclaimed EUPHONIA series, EPICON takes you one step closer to “the real thing”.
The backbone of EPICON 6 is DALI’s new peerless driver technology. Featuring two 6 ½“ bass woofers, the unique Linear Drive Magnet as well as the breakthrough ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter unit the sound breaks with traditional loudspeaker conventions.
The EPICON 6 relies on a 2½-way system as – compared to the EPICON 2 – it features an additional woofer kicking in below 600Hz. However, for the highest frequencies the EPICON 6 also incorporates a ribbon tweeter as part of the hybrid tweeter, in reality turning the speaker into a ‘2½ + ½-way’ construction.
The Allegra 2.0 is our flagship speaker. Designed around the Anima, it is our inspiration for the CS products. To reach our performance goals for this speaker Joachim Gerhard chose to separate the midrange/tweeter cabinet from the bass cabinet, which allowed him to extend the design goal. Separating the cabinets also gave Allen Perkins at Canalis opportunities for mechanical noise reduction and resonance control. Optimization and isolation of the bass and midrange have a lot to do with the Allegra 2.0’s effortless performance.
In the midrange/tweeter cabinet, the Allegra 2.0 shares the same driver compliment as the Anima models. Unlike the Anima, the Allegra 2.0 midrange driver is not called upon to reproduce low frequencies. The cabinet shape and internal volume are calculated to get the best performance with a sealed, rather than a ported, box. When testing the Allegra 2.0 it became obvious that the combination of separated bamboo cabinets and Allen’s mechanical treatments resulted in a significantly quieter mechanical structure. In fact the Allegro 2.0 surpasses the dynamics and resolution of even the Anima CS, while the bass cabinet delivers a fast and articulate bass response.
The Allegra 2.0 midrange/tweeter cabinet is mass loaded with a hard coupled ¾” stainless steel plate that forms the base of the cabinet. A mechanical decoupling system attaches this high mass assembly atop the bass cabinet. The decoupled mass approach significantly reduces the transfer of bass energy which would otherwise interfere with the midrange/tweeter response. The midrange/tweeter crossover board is securely mounted to the stainless steel base, floating on decoupling material inside the bass cabinet. This arrangement provides an extremely quiet and vibration-free environment for the crossover and significantly aids in lowering the noise floor of the loudspeaker. For the Allegra 2.0 we also upped the parts caliber (and cost) by using only the finest capacitors and custom-designed low-frequency inductors, courtesy of audio engineer Brian Daley.
The elegantly proportioned, three-way floorstanding Amerigo introduces design innovations that are unique to this loudspeaker, including the aptly-named Air Drive bass-loading enclosure for extended low-frequency response and improved efficiency.
Amerigo offers true full-range, extremely high-quality sound in rooms where space or other considerations require the use of a speaker with a smaller footprint—while achieving bass definition, integration with the midrange, and treble and tonal accuracy, for natural, evenly-balanced yet articulate sound.
The Air Drive construction employs three separate internal chambers that spread the internal resonance over a variety of frequencies, while controlling the impedance curve that the speaker presents to the amplifier.
A conventional ported speaker typically has one resonance point, creating a large impedance dip. This affects not only the load presented to the amplifier, but causes a frequency response peak at the resonant frequency, which can adversely affect tonal neutrality.
The Amerigo’s three internal chambers create three flatter impedance dips, presenting easier-to-drive loads to the amplifier, thus evening out the frequency response. One of the impedance peaks dips at the low bass frequencies, so more amplifier current and better low-frequency drive is available in the deep bass.
This new type of tuning tightly controls the excursion of the woofers, which move less than in conventional designs. What the listener actually hears is not the woofer cones moving, but the air mass of the loading, hence the name Air Drive. To further refine its performance, the Amerigo’s crossover network includes a proprietary DC circuit that compensates for baffle diffraction and baffle step effects. The Amerigo delivers a surprising amount of bass from a modestly proportioned enclosure with an articulate midrange, exceptionally detailed highs, and a smooth, natural tonal balance with extraordinary clarity.
The Anima CS takes the Anima two-way monitor’s superlative performance up another level. The improvements? An overall reduction in the noise level of the speaker, higher resolution, and improved dynamics. And what did we do to get these improvements? First of all, the two loudspeakers incorporate the same drivers, bamboo cabinet, crossover topology, premium internal wiring and Eichmann connectors. These highly refined components are the basis for the already excellent performing standard version.
But, the CS version incorporates a number of special noise-reduction treatments (i.e.: Balanced Force Design) and custom parts. The first is a ¾ inch stainless steel base. The significant mass of the stainless steel base, added to the rigid bamboo cabinet, provides a nearly immovable baffle for the speaker drivers. It is also a low vibration platform where the Anima CS crossover is mounted using a floating and decoupled suspension system.
The cone used in the RUBICON series draws upon the heritage from the EPICON technologies, and has a light, rigid and randomly uneven structure. This lower the complexity of the central part of the motor, ensures even piston like movements, reduces the possibility of surface resonance greatly and creates an extremely low distortion within the RUBICON series. The soft low-loss rubber surround is designed and bespoke specifically for the RUBICON series, and all of the components are situated in an aluminum chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.
Assembled in-house, every driver in each of the RUBCION models are configured to match the model they are destined for. The three 6½ inch drivers used in RUBICON 8 all work together to reproduce a clean, detailed sound with no colouration. The RUBICON series draws upon the heritage from the SMC based ‘Linear Drive System, which was introduced with the EPICON series. With the use of the technology from the SMC drivers, we have taken a step closer to remove a very large part of the unwanted distortion. The bass drivers are optimized for long excursion, and the midrange driver for a large useful frequency range insuring that the roll-off is handled in the crossover and not in the driver. All this ensures that the benefit from SMC can be enjoyed by even more Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
Today, we expect that little extra care and attention, when it comes to performance, visual appearance, and details. The ZENSOR 5 comes up to these expectations.
The ZENSOR 5 front baffle features the exclusive ZENSOR high-gloss lacquered finish, while high-grade vinyl adds an inviting and smooth look to the cabinet made of medium density fibreboard, incorporating soundproof material and internal bracings.
As its big brother, the ZENSOR 5 highlights a line of prominent features such as removable front grille, steady aluminium base, front mounted bass reflex port, and a single wired connection input of premium quality. 15 cm shorter than its larger sibling and still more than 80 cm tall, floor standing ZENSOR 5 will indeed prove to be a both recognizable and modern companion blending into the home décor in good taste.
DALI ZENSOR 3 is the newest member of the award winning ZENSOR series. This brand new speaker is developed and built to sound much larger than it actually is. Using a 7” woofer based on the technology from the ZENSOR 7 and the tweeter module from the ZENSOR 1, the ZENSOR 3 is able to recreate the high frequencies, the mid range and the low bass in the best possible way..
The OPTICON 8 is the pinnacle of the range. A towering floor-stander blessed with the best in DALI’s cutting-edge technology. If you want to move air with the ultimate in power and precision, the 8 is your answer.

The featured twin 6½ inch low-loss Wood Fibre Woofers complete with our unique SMC magnet motor system, assisted by our combined Soft Dome and Ribbon Tweeter module, delivers audio with wow-factor. Combined with the extended internal cabinet volume, the OPTICON 6 reaches lower into the deep bass producing an even more impressive broader soundstage.
Its high sensitivity and even impedance load together with its impressive ability to reproduce undistorted audio makes the OPTICON 6 the perfect balance between size and performance. Add in gold-plated bi-wiring terminals, and the OPTICON 6 is the sender of soul-moving music to the ears of those that demand more.
The DALI OPTICON 5 is the first of the floor-standing options of the OPTICON range. An exceptional stylish performance powerhouse thanks to the inclusion of our sensational 6½ inch low-loss Wood Fibre Woofer working in seamless conjunction with our Hybrid Soft Dome/Ribbon Tweeter, rendering sharp, precise and detailed low frequencies. Combined they produce a seemingly effortlessly transparent image that reflects the passion and energy of a live performance across a staggering soundstage that extends across the entire room with a coherent and open mid-range – both epic and intimate.
The DALI OPTICON 2 is our second compact stand-mount option that builds upon the power of the OPTICON 1 with a sizeable 6½ inch low-loss Wood Fibre Woofer and a 28 mm ultra-light Soft Dome Tweeter to make it musically meatier and bringing a little more muscle to the party. The 6½ inch woofer and the more voluminous cabinet make this speaker a true 2-way compact performer. The size of the woofer is matched with a large 28 mm soft dome tweeter to bring out every detail in the audio signal.
Small but perfectly formed, the DALI OPTICON 1 stand-mount 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.
Combine this capacity with a rear-mounted 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 tight bass that belies its size.
The Anima is our most popular loudspeaker. This two-way, compact monitor-style speaker has been an audiophile standard for decades, thanks to its ability to present music in a coherent fashion, tonally and spatially.
Designing a two-way loudspeaker is a two-edged sword: it can be a platform for a designer to show his or her mettle or a harshly revealing sonic microscope. Its relative simplicity (compared to multi-driver designs and their more complex crossovers and driver interactions) leaves no room to hide any sonic flaws.
