Opticon Series
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 soundstage - as always; designed in admiration of music. All models feature DALI's own unerringly accurate woofer and tweeter modules, plus our proprietary SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) pole piece.
The slim, floor-standing OPTICON 6 MK2 is
the entry point in the OPTICON MK2 series
for the renowned DALI hybrid soft dome and
ribbon tweeter. The hybrid tweeter offers a
significant advance in high frequency resolution
and has been improved for OPTICON MK2
by incorporating the CALLISTO derived
29mm dome alongside a 17mm x 45mm ribbon
element in a re-engineered, cast aluminium
faceplate. OPTICON 6 MK2 low frequencies
and midrange are handled by twin 61⁄2” Wood
Fibre diaphragm, SMC magnet bass/midrange
drivers, the lower one of which is gradually
attenuated into the midrange band.
The OPTICON 6 MK2 offers optional bi-wiring
to enable its bass/midrange and high frequency
sections to be connected independently.
Twin bass drivers, Dual Flare reflex loading,
and the increased internal volume provided
by its floor standing enclosure enable the
OPTICON 6 MK2 to achieve significantly
greater low frequency extension and bass
volume level than the stand mount OPTICON
MK2 systems. And it combines that bass
performance with brilliant, midrange clarity
and the sparkling high frequencies that are
characteristic of the DALI hybrid tweeter.
Bass and Midrange Drivers
The OPTICON MK2 bass/mid driver magnet system
consists of a large ferrite ring magnet surrounding a pole
piece manufactured entirely of the unique DALI SMC
material. The pole piece and the ferrite magnet are secured
between soft iron front and back plates to create the
appropriate magnetic field for the voice-coil.
Reflex Ports
The newly introduced OPTICON MK2 Dual Flare technique
brings port design into the realm of aerodynamics with exit
and entry flares carefully designed to minimise turbulence
at the airflow rate expected from the port diameter and
tuning frequency. Dual Flare enables OPTICON MK2 reflex
ports to remain laminar and work effectively to reinforce
low frequency performance to a significantly higher volume
level than would otherwise be the case.
Manufacturing in Pairs
There’s many respects in which DALI stands out among the
crowd of HiFi speaker manufacturers, but one in particular
is our approach to pair matching – in terms of both
acoustics and finish quality.
Examine a pair of HiFi speakers from many manufacturers
and you’ll almost certainly see that they each have different
serial numbers, often some numerical distance apart. This
indicates that manufacturing may have taken place months
apart; perhaps even on different production lines. Examine
a pair of DALI speakers however and you’ll see that they
carry the same serial number, with just a simple extension
to denote Left or Right. It’s a simple approach that costs
very little, yet it results in huge benefits for the customer.
