MENTOR 8 is the top model in the MENTOR series, equally at
ease with music and movies in any turbo-charged, high octane
home entertainment system.
Based on drive units specially conceived, developed and
assembled for the MENTOR range, MENTOR 8 offers an open,
engaging sound that lends natural scale, substance and
grandeur to any musical style.
DALI’s highly acclaimed hybrid tweeter solution is used for
high frequency response reproduction that is quite simply the
best in its class.
Mounted in an aluminum front plate for vibration control, the
hybrid module extracts even the subtlest sonic details from
such high resolution sources as SACD, DVD-Audio, Blu-Ray
and HD-DVD.
Few speakers at any price rival the superlative detail, alacrity
and silky smooth overtones of these DALI’s.
The DALI designed midrange and bass drivers with powerful,
tightly focused motor systems live up to the high standard set
by the tweeter module, for exceptional control of cone motion
at any level, loud, soft or in between.
Voices are reproduced in perfect focus with none of the
colorations and artifacts typically associated with this price
range. There is a palpable accuracy to the sonic image,
so crystal clear and pure that you can close your eyes and
imagine you are there.
The elegant enclosure is curved front and rear and finished
in real wood veneer, for a softer, more refined look. The
integrated base with threaded inserts for spikes ensures
stable footing on any surface.
Hybrid Tweeter Module
|
All MENTOR speakers (except MENTOR
SUB) feature a hybrid tweeter module with a 28 mm soft dome and
ribbon tweeter. The dome reproduces the full high-frequency range.
But like all dome tweeters, it starts beaming at frequencies above
approximately 12 kHz. To compensate, the ribbon tweeter is gently
rolled in above that point.
Low Loss Drivers | All MENTOR bass/midrange drivers are designed
with lightweight wood fiber cones. Combined with low-loss rubber
surrounds and suspensions, the cones react with lightning speed,
transforming the tiniest electrical signal into subtle musical detail.
