WOOFER
With the background of in-depth loudspeaker driver design for years, and having engineers with loudspeaker drivers manufacturing experience in-house, DALI started up the process of establishing in-house production of drivers in 2009. Today we are proud to present the result: DALI EPICON 8 woofers are not only developed - but also manufactured at the DALI headquarters in Denmark.
At DALI we believe in designs based on low mechanical loss. Actually we were among the first to insist on controlling the frequency response by carefully balanced designs. We want the amplifier voltage and current to be the factor to control the frequency response by carefully balanced designs.
The wood fibre technology has proven to be a key in reproducing the finest details and dynamics in the music with very low loss of information. Wood fibres add stiffness to very light paper cone membranes, ensuring non-uniform break-up characteristics within the material. The result is a structural stiffness showing top-class behaviour.
The wood fibre cone terminates in a low-loss rubber surround that is fitted to a die cast aluminium chassis. Assembly of the cone, surround, voice coil and chassis is done in highly accurate tools for the maximum alignment accuracy.
The DALI EPICON series is built on knowledge from more than 30 years of research, development, and manufacturing of speakers, and on results from experimenting with both new and known technology the EPICON series shows just how far DALI has come in our search for natural sound reproduction. With a visual appearance that signals exclusivity and simplicity these speakers are for the most demanding of music and movie enthusiasts. And with a performance which is clearly DALI - taken one step further - we intend not only to meet these demands. We will surpass them.
