DALI Opticon 1 MK2 – Compact Bookshelf Speakers with Natural, Distortion-Free Sound

The DALI Opticon 1 MK2 delivers exceptional performance from a compact stand-mount design. Featuring DALI’s patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) drivers, dual-flare reflex ports, and upgraded soft-dome tweeters, these speakers offer detailed, dynamic audio with natural midrange clarity and surprising bass authority.

Key Features

• SMC driver motor with wood-fibre woofer: Minimises distortion and coloration for a clean, authentic sound.
• Dual-flare reflex ports: Optimised airflow reduces turbulence and enhances low-frequency output for tighter bass.
• 29 mm soft-dome tweeter: Derived from DALI’s higher-end CALLISTO series, it offers reduced distortion, greater power handling, and improved dispersion.
• Hand-assembled in Denmark: Each pair is built by a single technician to ensure consistent acoustic performance.
