Dali Oberon 5 Floorstanding Speakers

About this item

The Dali Oberon 5 is a compact and elegant floorstanding speaker that surprises with deep, tight bass, well-defined midrange and airy high frequencies. Enjoy natural and lifelike reproduction of any music or movie soundtrack.

Easy to position — The wide dispersion pattern of the drivers ensures well-integrated sound that drastically reduces off-axis harmonic distortion.

Contemporary design — The rounded edges and grille fabric add a lighter and more contemporary look, enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminium base on the floorstanding models.

Wood fibre cones — The stiff, lightweight structure of the reinforced wood fibre cone reproduces details that are uncoloured and highly accurate.

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.

Easy Integration

Dali Oberon 5 is at home in any room. The driver materials and geometry we use are purpose-designed to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover to deliver a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit of a wide dispersion pattern is that harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion are significantly reduced – this is also the reason why DALI speakers are not designed to be toed in.

New wood fibre cone

The Oberon 5 features two 5¼” low loss woofers optimized 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. And 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.

Reducing distortion

The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) in the Oberon 5 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, allowing the Oberon 7 to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.

Oversized Soft-dome

The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the Oberon series, combining well-proven technologies from our existing Dali speakers 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 colouration.

Optimised Cabinet

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 optimize room integration by using a rear wall surface to improve bass performance. The elegantly shaped aluminium base also gives the floorstanding Oberon 5 a lighter, elevated look.
