The new Dali Oberon 7C floor-standing speaker has two 7 inch wood fibre cones featuring DALI's patented SMC technology - and the same ultra-lightweight 29mm soft dome tweeter as the OBERON 1 C.
The 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 twin bass/mid drivers. 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.
Separate connection hubs called the Sound Hubs transmits all sources to OBERON C speakers using a proprietary 30 bit wireless protocol.
The rear panel mounted OBERON 7 C electronic module incorporates a wireless receiver element and user setup interface, a DSP equalisation and crossover filter element, and a high efficiency two channel power amplifier with a closely integrated power supply.
Powering the amplifier is a custom designed, 65W(rms), very low noise switched mode supply that is able dynamically to share resources between the two amplifier channels in response to demand. The OBERON 7 C is, as a result, unusually frugal in terms of power consumption, yet gives nothing away in terms of dynamic punch when the music demands it.
There is a small separate wireless box which enables you to easily connect your wired equipment such as TVs or Turntables whist also incorporating the Bluetooth receiver. The sound hubs transmit both digital and analgoue sources wirelessly to the Oberon 1 C Speakers. This means you can place the speakers anywhere in the room whilst the sound hub can be hidden away near your chosen source, such as your TV or even a turntable can be connected.
There are two sound hub options to choose from....
SOUND HUB COMPACT Option (Bluetooth option)
The SOUND HUB COMPACT Bluetooth input enables smartphones, tablets, laptop or desktop computers, or any other Bluetooth audio source to stream your music wirelessly to your Oberon 7 C speakers, It also has 4 inputs including 1 phono, perfect for turntables (phone stage required, 2 optical and a HDMI ARC, input for TV audio - switching on and off in sync with the TV. Additionally it enables the use of the TV remote control to adjust volume and mute functions.
