Introducing the DALI OBERON 5 Tower Speakers, a compact and elegant addition to any living space. These floorstanding speakers are designed to deliver a well-integrated sound that drastically reduces off-axis harmonic distortion, giving you natural and lifelike reproduction of any music or movie soundtrack. With contemporary design features like rounded edges and grille fabric, along with an elegantly shaped aluminum base, the OBERON 5 speakers add a lighter and more modern look to your décor.
In any room, the OBERON 5 speaker's driver materials and geometry are purpose-designed to achieve a wide dispersion pattern, making it easy to position them anywhere in your space. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover, delivering a well-integrated sound even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. This feature also reduces harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion.
The OBERON 5's two 5¼" low loss woofers are optimised with a new wood fibre structured cone dedicated to reproducing the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. Constructed from a blend of fine-grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibres, the woofer creates a stiff, yet lightweight structure. When combined with the low loss surround and spider suspension, the OBERON 5 woofer reproduces the most minute details in the signal, unfiltered and with high accuracy.
The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) in the OBERON 5 drastically reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. This results in a magnet motor system with a drastic reduction in third-order distortion, which allows the OBERON 5 to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.
The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series, combining well-proven technologies from our existing DALI ranges with new features. The large size of the membrane lets the tweeter generate higher sound pressure with less excursion, keeping the voice-coil motion to a controlled minimum. The tweeter front plate near the dome has been designed with similar geometry to the OPTICON and RUBICON tweeters to create the optimal working conditions for the soft dome. This results in extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low coloration.
The OBERON 5 cabinet is constructed from a high density, CNC machined MDF board dressed in high-grade vinyl. The extremely rigid structure is achieved with solid bracings across the inside of the cabinet, which practically eliminates cabinet resonance. The bass ports at the rear of the cabinet optimise room integration by using a rear wall surface to improve bass performance. The elegantly shaped aluminum base also gives the floorstanding OBERON 5 a lighter, elevated look.
With a frequency range of 39 - 26,000 Hz, sensitivity of 88 dB, nominal impedance of 6 ohms, and maximum SPL of 108 dB, the OBERON 5 is a powerful and versatile speaker. It is recommended for use with 30 - 150 watts of power, and its crossover frequencies are 2,400 Hz, using a 2-way crossover principle.
