Driver Technology
High performance loudspeakers require
outstanding components which is why we at
DALI make designing the best drivers for a
given speaker a high priority.
The individual drivers must transform
as much of the electrical signal from the
amplifier to an acoustic signal, preserving the
full spectrum with perfect timing and perfect
integration.
To maximize the throughput, DALI drivers
have low internal losses; we use low loss
rubber surrounds, light/stiff wood fiber
cones, lightweight domes and magnetically
saturated Class A magnet systems. The
drivers are also optimized to minimize flow
losses round the chassis/spider/magnet
system. All in all, these unique drivers are
designed to be a perfect match in a complete
speaker system.
Hybrid Tweeter Module
The specially designed DALI hybrid tweeter
module is more than a distinctive visual
element in the HELICON MK2 series. On its
own, a conventional soft dome tweeter will
"beam" sound at higher frequencies (typically
above 10 kHz), covering only a narrow area
directly in front of the speaker. Listeners
outside this "sweet spot" will experience
significantly reduced high frequency output,
resulting in duller sound.
In order to deliver the full spectrum of sound
across a wider listening area , DALI employs
an innovative high-frequency ribbon driver
to enhance response above 13 kHz. With the
fine-tuned DALI hybrid tweeter module, great
sound is not only available at a "hot seat"
centered between the speakers. Now you
can share that great sound with friends and
family with no restrictions.
