The OBERON woofer features a wood fibre cone with a blend of fine grain paper pulp, reinforced with wood fibres, 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. So, I guess that as expected I am stepping up from what I originally wanted to get, let's see where this takes me 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. It also allows a higher maximum sound pressure level, which leads to an effortless reproduction of the dynamics in the music. By modern standards much of the recording quality is potentially excruciating. But I want to listen to that performance so I have to reprogram my brain to ignore that. Yesterday I played Phil Spector Echoes of the 60s. Even on my good equipment it sounded like a cheap transistor radio from the 60s. But I accepted that and so enjoyed it. Based on the performance of their siblings, we have high hopes for these speakers. But while they deliver an impressive scale and weight, the Oberon 3 speakers don’t have quite the all-round ability of their siblings.

OBERON 3 es fácil de integrar en cualquier habitación. Tanto los materiales como la geometría de los drivers de OBERON 3 han sido seleccionados para lograr una gran dispersión en el área de escucha. Los mismos principios han sido aplicados en el diseño del crossover.

The lightweight copper-clad aluminum (CCAW) material is used for the rear of the driver and SMC is applied to the front 1 cm of the voice coil, marking the first time SMC has been used in Dali’s entry-level series. Its non-conductive magnetic properties prevent the generation of unnecessary current and distortion during operation. The Cabinet and Finishes The Danish loudspeaker specialist DALI is currently launching one interesting new product after the other. A strategic focus is the „Oberon“ series, which is aimed at the discerning beginner and intermediate. We have tested the series’ smallest model „1“.

You’ll get better bass, mids and HF integration all in one cabinet. But do ensure you have a suitably sized room as well as enough amplification power that can accommodate a pair of floorstanders. El nuevo tweeter de 29mm ultra ligero utilizado en OBERON 3 es fabricado por DALI y ha sido desarrollado específicamente para la serie OBERON - combinando bien las tecnologías probadas en nuestras series DALI con nuevas características.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. KEY FEATURES: Easy to Position Larger rivals will have more scale and sonic authority, but they won’t be anywhere near as accommodating as these Dalis when it comes to placement or blending into a room. It’s the Oberons’ ability to reveal so much information, but also arrange it in a musically cohesive way that really makes them shine. Verdict How is it even possible to offer such loudspeakers for 200 Euro each? Well, DALI makes no secret of the fact that the Oberon line is manufactured in the Far East. However not, as many of its competitors do, as contract production by third-party manufacturers, but by DALI personnel with DALI quality management and ingredients developed in-house – meaning above all the drivers –, all manufactured in their own factory in China. 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 - like every other driver made by DALI. It is constructed from a blend of fine grain paper pulp and reinforced with wood fibres, 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.

But for every action there is a reaction, and the scale sees a trade-off in low-level dynamics – we don’t find them as engaging at lower volumes. The attention to bass also has an effect on vocals and treble notes, with voices not sounding as open and intimate as they do on the B&W 606 speakers or the baby Oberon 1s for that matter. The magnet motor itself consists of a large ferrite magnet that sorrounds a pole piece made with a unique combination of iron and SMC. The iron ferrrite forms the lower base of the pole cylinder, topped of with 10 mm SMC disk to crown the pole piece. This combination minimises the negative effects of the iron, while placing the SMC disk right in the main working area of the 4-layer voice coil. This placement ensures the maximum effect from the SMC on the voice coils environment, resulting in a greatly improved constant flux field. TWEETEREl chasis de OBERON 3 está construido a partir de madera MDF de alta densidad - vestido en vinilo de alta calidad cuidadosamente seleccionado. El chasis de OBERON 3 emplea una construcción muy rígida con brazos sólidos en el interior del chasis para reforzarlo. Esto contribuye aportando rigidez y eliminando, prácticamente, la resonancia en el chasis.

EASY TO POSITIONMy baseline is the system I have now, in which I use floorstanding Infinity studio monitors so I was expecting a significant difference, and I found it.
