Dali Opticon 2 MK2 Speakers

Description

DALI Opticon 2 MK2 Stand Mount/Bookshelf Speakers

The Opticon 2 MK2 is a mid-sized stand mount/bookshelf speaker with 6½" woofer and a 29 mm soft dome tweeter. It's a natural for high performance audio in compact to medium size listening spaces where it has room to breathe and deliver its dynamic and exquisitely defined performance.

Premium Danish Design

Measuring 195 x 351 x 297mm and weighing 7.7kg, the Dali Opticon 2 MKII falls into the large bookshelf speaker category, which contributes to a better bass reproduction. It uses the tried and tested design of its predecessor, with a thick chassis made from several layers of MDF to reduce resonance and coloration. It is entirely assembled by hand in the Danish manufacturer’s workshop. The cabinet benefits from internal bracing to reinforce it in order to virtually eliminate unwanted resonances and therefore reduce distortion

The Dali Opticon 2 MKII speaker has a bass-reflex enclosure with a circular port on the rear panel. For this new iteration, Dali has equipped the port with Dual Flare technology, inspired by the airflow management systems used in aerodynamics. The entry and exit flares of the ports are designed to minimize interference depending on the expected airflow, opening diameter and frequency setting. This results in cleaner, more controlled bass.

1 inch Soft Dome Tweeter

One of the major enhancements of the Dali Opticon 2 MKII speaker is the new tweeter that has the same design as that used in the high-end Rubicon range. It offers significant improvements over the first generation Opticon 2, with a softer, lighter dome and a larger diameter (29mm compared to 28mm). This increased diameter provides a wider radiation area for lower distortion and offers better power handling.

Wood Fibre SMC Driver

The tweeter of the Dali Opticon 2 MKII is associated with a large 6.5” midbass driver that has the same paper and wood fibre cone as the other models in the range. This composition guarantees minimal structural resonances and gives the cones a burgundy colour, characteristic of the brand’s speakers. This cone is supported by a rubber suspension selected for its mechanical properties, combining flexibility and minimal low frequency damping. The basket of each driver is made of die-cast aluminium to achieve extremely high rigidity and low resonance, while limiting interference with the internal magnetic system.
