DALI OBERON 7 C Active Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

OBERON 7 C

The DALI OBERON 7 C is an active, wireless floorstanding speaker for larger listening rooms where music has space to breathe. Rendering any style of music naturally and with impressive authenticity, the OBERON 7 C is part of DALI's 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.

The active wireless OBERON 7 C is intended for larger homes where music has space to breathe and can be enjoyed at higher volume levels. A great match for ambitious music lovers and audiophiles that want to make a statement with their audio system, the OBERON 7 C delivers the incredible sound of a traditional floorstander with the flexibility and convenience of an active wireless Hi-Fi speaker. Part of the DALI EQUI ecosystem of innovative wireless speakers and amplifiers, the OBERON 7 C pairs with the DALI SOUND HUB or SOUND HUB COMPACT for a powerful stereo setup or as part of a multichannel surround sound installation.

Reducing Distortion

SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound).

The slender, floorstanding OBERON 7 C has two 7" low loss bass/mid drivers featuring DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) technology. By introducing electrically non-conductive elements to the magnet structure, SMC significantly reduces the effect of a variety of distortion-producing mechanisms inherent to moving-coil driver architecture. For example, SMC minimises eddy current effects, increases flux linearity, reduces magnetic hysteresis and minimises the variation of voice-coil inductance resulting from its movement in the magnet gap. SMC-equipped drivers are particularly well suited to speakers with active amplification, like the OBERON 7 C.

Class D Amplification

Reproducing the smallest details with clarity and accuracy.

The OBERON 7 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 drivers. 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. The OBERON 7 C is unusually frugal in terms of power consumption yet holds nothing back in terms of dynamic punch when the music demands it.

Lightweight Soft Dome

Increased sensitivity and power handling with reduced distortion.

The OBERON 7 C high-frequency driver is a damped textile, soft dome tweeter featuring an oversized, unusually light 29 mm diaphragm and voice-coil. They work together to increase sensitivity and power handling, and to reduce distortion. They also enable the driver to operate at lower frequencies than typical smaller tweeters for more latitude in the crossover design.

Optimised Cabinet

Constructed from CNC-machined high strength MDF panels.

The OBERON 7 C cabinet is constructed from CNC-machined, high strength MDF panels finished in a variety of wood-effect or matt white laminates. The cabinet is fitted with an unusually large-diameter, dual-flare reflex port at the rear, engineered to minimise port turbulence, distortion and compression. The OBERON 7 C cabinet also features an integral die-cast plinth fitted with attachment points for floor spikes or compatible feet.
