"Perfect Loudspeaker for Spacious to Very Large Living Rooms"
The Powerful OBERON 9 is the top of the OBERON range, and with two long-throw 9" woofers it offers dynamic capabilities most speakers can only dream of. The OBERON 9 is a true three-way high-end hi-fi speaker that combines ultimate refinement and startling detail with effortless power to reproduce music and movies at real life volume levels. OBERON 9 can bring genuine concert and cinema experiences right into your home.
"After the Danes behind DALI presented the active Oberon C series last month, they now further expand their entry-level series: The new DALI Oberon 9 is almost 1.20 meters high, weighs 37 kg and is equipped with a heavy-duty 3-way system, making it the perfect loudspeaker for spacious to very large living rooms and home theaters," reports stereo-magazine.com, October 21, 2020.
"Almost Everything You Could Want from a Large Speaker"
"The Dali Oberon 9 is almost everything you could want from a large speaker," reports Geir Nordby, L&B Tech Reviews, March 22, 2021. "It sounds balanced and good regardless of music style, it has dynamics and control in place – and it can thunder loose with an addictive bass pump whenever you want. Here there is full control; it is big, physical and delicious."
"The entire low-frequency register is rendered as if you were listening to music in a studio on some huge classic monitors," reports Aleksei Mikhaylov, techweekmag.com, March 15, 2021.
Advanced Drivers and Design
The OBERON 9 speaker features 2 x 9" wood fiber SMC based woofers, 1 x 7 wood fiber SMC based midrange woofer, and an oversized 29mm (1.14") ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter. With the launch of the OBERON loudspeaker series, DALI picked the best elements from its current speakers and brought them together in a series that delivers on audio quality, looks and versatility.
Combined with the large but elegant cabinet, this delivers the very best in deep bass and large room performance. Despite its size, this speaker is surprisingly delicate and will impress with its ability to render any music style naturally and lifelike even at lower volumes. This makes the OBERON 7 perfect for almost any audio setup and any music or movie style.
The OBERON 9 is easy to integrate your loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the OBERON 9 has been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern in the listening area. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover.
As result, you will experience a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. This is important as you are rarely seated directly in front of your loudspeakers when listening to music. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion, as these will always be stronger in an on-axis response. This is also the reason why all DALI speakers are not designed to be toed-in.
Wood Fiber Cone
The OBERON woofer features a wood fiber cone with a blend of fine grain paper pulp, reinforced with wood fibers, which creates a stiff, light-weight and well-behaving structure. In combination with a low-loss surround and spider suspension, this cone reproduces the micro details in the signal - unfiltered and with high accuracy.
Patented SMC
The iron pole piece of the OBERON woofer magnet is crowned by a patented SMC disk - minimizing the negative effects of the iron. The use of the SMC disk greatly reduces mechanical distortion, which lowers third order distortion. This allows for a longer listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detail for its price class.
Contemporary Design
The rounded edges and rustic fabric of these new DALI front grilles add a lighter and more contemporary visual look to the OBERON series. This look is enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminum base mounted on the two floor-standing models.
Easy to Position
The driver materials, crossover design and geometry applied in the OBERON series has been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. This ensures a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion. This is why all DALI speakers are not designed to be toed-in.
