Full Description

For those seeking a capable bookshelf speaker, the Dali Oberon 3 is a prime choice. These speakers exude musical prowess, ensuring oomph in the highs, mids, and lows, eliminating any doubts about their ability. Drawing from 35 years of experience, Dali has refined the Oberon 3’s sound with driver developments and ported enhancements, enhancing bass response, musical timing, and depth without compromising the cabinet’s design.

The SMC driver boasts a wooden fibre cone combined with paper pulp for a solid diaphragm. A low-loss surround and suspension solution, a 2-layer voice coil diaphragm, a large ferrite ring magnet, and a 10mm SMC crown collectively contribute to the Dali Oberon Character. Crafted with CNC precision, the MDF cabinet brings rigidity and minimizes resonance, ensuring the 29mm tweeter, paired with the SMC woofer, delivers a fresh, detailed sound experience. Wide dispersion technology allows both on-axis and off-axis listeners to appreciate the details of Dali’s offering. Once unpacked and connected, the Oberon 3 impresses not only in photos but also in real life. It’s a fun and outstanding speaker for music enthusiasts who enjoy a diverse range of genres.

Tweeter

OBERON utilises a 29 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter, the large size of the membrane lets the tweeter generate higher sound pressure with less excursion, keeping the voice coil motion to a precise minimum. The membrane is constructed based on an ultra-light wave weave fabric and is additionally optimised for a larger bandwidth in its lower frequency area. This ensures the optimal handover from the midrange woofer to the tweeter, creating a well-balanced, unforced and very coherent upper midrange.

Woofer

The OBERON 3 features a 7″ low-loss woofer – the same featured in the OBERON 7. The woofer has been optimised with a new wood fibre structured cone which is dedicated to reproduce the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. DALI chose a 7″ driver, as its membrane has a 15 larger dimension than the common 6½ market standard. The larger cone area allows a lower voice coil excursion at the same sound pressure level compared to a 6½ woofer.

Cabinet

The cabinet housing of the OBERON 3 is constructed from high-density CNC machined MDF board – dressed in carefully selected high-grade vinyl. The OBERON 3 cabinet employs a very rigid construction, with solid bracings across the inside of the cabinet for reinforcement. This contributes to the stiffness and practically eliminates resonance within the cabinet.

Easy Integration

DALI makes it easy to integrate your loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the OBERON series 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. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and 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.

Finishes

The DALI OBERON series is available in four finishes: Black Ash, White, Dark Walnut and Light Oak. Matched with a matte black or white front baffle. The OBERON series introduces a brand new front grille design with rounded edges that add a lighter and contemporary visual look to the speaker series. ‘Mountain Grey’ is the standard grille supplied with the light finishes while Shadow Black is standard on the dark finishes. Marshmallow White is available as an accessory.

SMC

Mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents is greatly reduced with the use of SMC in OBERON 3. These combined improvements in the magnet motor system results in a lowering of third order distortion. This allows the OBERON 3 to present longer listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing for the class.
