DALI Active Center Speaker Oberon Vokal C, Black Ash

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.

Active Speaker

Each driver is powered by a dynamic, closed-loop, 50 Watt peak, Class D power amplifier for exceptional sound quality.

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.

Centre Channel

The driver materials, crossover design and geometry were selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. This ensures a well-integrated sound, even off-axis.

ACTIVE CENTRE CHANNEL

Essential part of a muiltichannel setup

Taking centre stage, the OBERON VOKAL C brings clarity and depth to any movie soundtrack. Paired with the SOUND HUB, this wireless active centre channel speaker is the perfect match for the OBERON C series speakers in a multichannel surround setup. The front-facing bass port also makes for convenient installation in TV cabinets and other confined spaces.

WOOD FIBRE CONE

Accurate, detailed sound

The OBERON VOKAL C uses two 5¼” bass/midrange drivers featuring our proprietary fine paper pulp and reinforced wood fibre composite materials. Together, they create a stiff, lightweight structure that works with the low loss surround and spider suspension to reproduce the most minute details with accuracy and transparency.

REDUCING DISTORTION

Soft Magnetic Composite reduce distortion

Using our signature Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) in the OBERON VOKAL 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 that gives extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange, and a surprising amount of detail for its class.

CLASS D AMPLIFICATION

Accuracy & clarity in every detail

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

OVERSIZED SOFT DOME

Increased sensitivity and power handling

The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series, combining proven technologies from our other DALI speakers with new features. Features such as the tweeter’s ability to generate higher sound pressure with less voice-coil excursion for better control, and an optimised front plate inspired by our OPTICON and RUBICON series that creates the best-possible working conditions for the soft dome. For you, these improvements translate to extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low colouration.

RIGID CABINET

Constructed by high strength MDF panels

The OBERON VOKAL C cabinet is constructed from CNC-machined high strength MDF panels finished in a variety of wood-effect or matt white laminates. Internal damping materials are positioned strategically to maximise midrange energy attenuation without degrading bass transient response and bandwidth.
