Full Description

These speakers feature a unique downward-firing bass port, ensuring deep and lush bass notes without compromising your room’s aesthetics. The sleek 120mm slim-line cabinet design, handcrafted with high-grade laminate, surrounds the rigid CNC-machined MDF cabinet, reducing resonance and offering a visually captivating addition to your home. At the heart of the Oberon signature, the 29mm oversized ultra-soft dome tweeter and 5.25” wood fibre SMC-based woofer provide a class-leading sound signature. These technologies, refined from Dali’s Opticon and Rubicon series, ensure the Oberon On-Wall speakers maintain the iconic Dali sound. The CNC-crafted MDF cabinet adds rigidity, creating a solid platform for the 29mm tweeter and SMC woofer, delivering a fresh and vibrant sound experience into your room. Thanks to its wide dispersion technology, the Oberon Series provides accurate sound for both on-axis and off-axis listeners, ensuring everyone enjoys the details of Dali’s sound.

Dali’s commitment to audio excellence, rooted in Peter Lyngdorf’s philosophy, is evident in the Oberon On-Wall speakers. These speakers also feature Dali’s high-quality terminal grip system, accommodating various speaker cabling options for your convenience. Available in a range of finishes, including Light Oak, Black, Dark Walnut, and White (Vinyl), the Dali Oberon On-Wall Speakers seamlessly blend with your decor while delivering exceptional sound quality. Upgrade your audio experience with these on-wall speakers that redefine both aesthetics and acoustics.

Bass / Mid Driver

OBERON C bass/mid drivers feature our proprietary paper pulp and wood fibre composite diaphragm materials, advanced copper-coated aluminium voice-coil wire and, in particular, our unique SMC (Soft Magnet Compound) magnet technology. By introducing electrically non-conductive elements to the magnet structure, SMC significantly reduces the effect of a variety of distortion-producing mechanisms inherent to moving-coil driver architecture.

Cabinet Construction

OBERON C cabinets are constructed from CNC-machined high strength MDF panels and finished with a variety of wood-effect or matt white laminates. The cabinets are engineered for optimum rigidity to minimise panel resonance, with corner fillets and, in the case of the larger OBERON 7 C, strategic internal cross-bracing. Corner fillets have become increasingly unusual in contemporary speaker cabinet construction but at DALI we believe they play an important role in ensuring rigidity.

Power Amplification

The OBERON 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, one powers the bass/mid driver (or twin drivers in the case of the OBERON 7 C). The 100dB 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.

Easy Positioning

The driver materials, crossover design and geometry applied in the OBERON C 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.

Patented SMC

The iron pole piece of the OBERON C woofer magnet is crowned by the DALI 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.

Low Latency

The SOUND HUB COMPACT transmits to OBERON C speakers using a proprietary 30 bit wireless protocol derived from the acclaimed DALI SOUND HUB. Audio transmission latency from input to speaker is typically less than 15 mS, and inter-speaker timing is accurate to the single sample period of the broadcast audio data.

SoundHub Compact

The SOUND HUB COMPACT plays a central role in your active wireless Hi-Fi system. It transmits your audio sources to the wireless DALI eco system, which includes OBERON C, CALLISTO C and RUBICON C speakers. The SOUND HUB COMPACT was designed with compact dimensions and is slim enough to fit behind a wall-mounted TV.

Reliable Wireless

Thanks partly to utilising a relatively un-congested radio band, and partly to the use of a protocol specifically designed for audio data, the SOUND HUB COMPACT and OBERON C wireless connection is highly stable and introduces next to no packet loss. Feed-forward error correction is employed however to eliminate the results of packet loss should it occur. The sub 15mS input to speaker latency of the system means also that the SOUND HUB COMPACT and OBERON C system can be used in audiovisual systems with no resulting loss of lip-sync.

Zero Loss

The need for volume control data to be transmitted to the speakers results from the implementation in the SOUND HUB COMPACT and OBERON C of DALI Zero Loss volume control technology. Zero Loss ensures that volume adjustment does not result in data loss through truncation of the digital word length. By placing speaker volume control at the end of the digital signal chain, directly before the digital to analogue conversion stage, full 24 bit digital resolution is retained at all volume levels.

Auto Switching

The SOUND HUB COMPACT has optional auto signal detect on all inputs. With auto signal detect switched on, instigating playback on the source will trigger the SOUNDHUB COMPACT automatically to switch on and select the appropriate input. If there is no audio for 20 minutes, the SOUND HUB COMPACT (and OBERON C speakers) will automatically switch to standby mode and save energy.

Analogue Legacy

The SOUND HUB COMPACT is almost entirely digital in its internal signal path and processing, however it incorporates a high quality analogue input designed for legacy audiophile sources such as CD players, preamplifiers and turntables. The analogue to digital conversion stage following the input generates a high resolution, better than CD, 24 bit/ 96kHz data stream.

Inputs & Connections

With five discrete audio inputs available, the SOUND HUB COMPACT can connect to almost any audio device. For example, there are no less than four ways to connect a TV and transmit its audio to OBERON C speakers, but there are also ample possibilities to connect music streaming or conventional audio devices.

HDMI ARC

The SOUND HUB COMPACT HDMI ARC is designed to play TV audio. It additionally supports CEC to enable the use of the TV remote control to adjust volume and mute functions, as well as to switch the SOUND HUB COMPACT on and off in sync with the TV.
