Description
The DALI OBERON 7 floorstanding speaker combines deep bass and large-room performance with an unexpectedly delicate and natural sound. Despite its size, it delivers lifelike audio that is well-suited for any style of music. DALI has designed the OBERON 7 for seamless room integration, using specially crafted driver materials and geometry to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. This design, along with the crossover, ensures smooth, well-balanced sound even from off-axis listening positions. The wide dispersion also helps minimise harmonic distortion and diffractions, making it unnecessary to toe-in the speakers for optimal performance, ensuring a clean, accurate audio experience throughout the room.

Dali Oberon 7 Key Features
- Patented SMC – The woofer magnet’s iron pole-piece includes a patented SMC disc that greatly reduces mechanical distortion for a relaxed midrange and lots of detail
- Contemporary Design – The rounded edges and grille fabric add a lighter and more contemporary look, enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminium base on the floor-standing models
- Wood Fibre Cones – The stiff, lightweight structure of the reinforced wood fibre cone reproduces details that are uncoloured and highly accurate
- Easy to Position – The wide dispersion pattern of the drivers ensures well-integrated sound that drastically reduces off-axis harmonic distortion
Benefits of Dali Oberon 7 Floorstanding Speaker
Well-integrated sound, even off-axis
With the Oberon 7, Dali has made it easy to integrate it into any room. The driver materials and geometry are purpose-designed to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover to deliver a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit of a wide dispersion pattern is that harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion are significantly reduced. This is also the reason why Dali speakers are not designed to be toed in.
Optimised with a new wood fibre structure
The Oberon 7 features two 7″ low-loss woofers optimised with a new wood fibre structured cone dedicated to reproducing the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. Constructed from a blend of fine-grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibres, the woofer creates a stiff, yet lightweight structure. And when combined with the low-loss surround and spider suspension, the Oberon 7 woofer reproduces the most minute details in the signal, unfiltered and with high accuracy.
Patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite)
The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) in the OBERON 7 greatly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. The result is a magnet motor system with a drastic reduction in third-order distortion, allowing the Oberon 7 to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.
Oversized soft dome
The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series, combining well-proven technologies from our existing DALI speakers with new features. The large size of the membrane lets the tweeter generate higher sound pressure with less excursion, keeping the voice-coil motion to a controlled minimum. The tweeter front plate near the dome has been designed with similar geometry to the OPTICON and RUBICON tweeters to create the optimal working conditions for the soft dome. This results in extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low colouration.
Cabinet design beyond ‘just’ good looks
The OBERON 7 cabinet is constructed from a high-density, CNC-machined MDF board dressed in high-grade vinyl. The extremely rigid structure is achieved with solid bracings across the inside of the cabinet, which practically eliminates cabinet resonance. The bass ports at the rear of the cabinet optimise room integration by using a rear wall surface to improve bass performance. The elegantly shaped aluminium base also gives the floor-standing OBERON 7 a lighter, elevated look.
