DALI OBERON 1 C Active Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

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.

Wireless Hi-Fi Sound

Part of the DALI EQUI ecosystem.

With quality and convenience at its core, the OBERON 1 C is quick and easy to set up – all you need to do is connect it to our DALI SOUND HUB or SOUND HUB COMPACT and add music. 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 Compound) magnet technology.

Reducing Distortion

DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound).

The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) 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.

Class D Amplification

Reproducing the smallest details with clarity and accuracy.

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

Constructed from 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.
