Description
The Opticon LCR MK2 is a sophisticated on-wall speaker that delivers exceptional acoustic performance across the entire frequency spectrum. It produces crisp, open high frequencies, detailed and articulate midrange, and remarkably deep bass response that defies its wall-mounted design constraints. True to its name, this versatile speaker is engineered for multiple placement options within your audio setup. Its adaptable configuration allows it to function effectively as a left channel, centre channel, or right channel speaker in both stereo and surround sound systems. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for creating cohesive, high-fidelity audio environments. The Opticon LCR MK2 stands apart from typical wall-mounted speakers by providing authentic hi-fi performance quality in both stereo and multichannel applications. Whether used in a dedicated stereo pair or as part of a comprehensive surround sound system, these speakers deliver the refined sound character and acoustic precision expected from premium audio equipment while maintaining the space-saving benefits of wall mounting.

Dali Opticon LCR MK2 Key Features
- Patented SMC – The patented SMC magnet motor minimises hysteresis to significantly reduce electro-acoustic distortion
- Hybrid Tweeter – The hybrid tweeter marries the clarity, speed, and dynamics of a soft dome with the very high-frequency detail and finesse of a planar.
- Assembled by Hand– DALI stereo pairs are built and tested by one technician using components from the same batch to ensure visual and acoustic matching
- Made in Denmark – At Dali’s Danish production facilities, they hand-assemble, tes,t and QA everything from cutting the laminate to surface finishing
Benefits of Dali Opticon LCR MK2 On-Wall Speaker
Multipurpose Speaker
The OPTICON LCR MK2 incorporates the best technologies from the MK2 series in a low-profile, wall-mounted enclosure. Serving as a left, centre or right-channel speaker – hence the name LCR – this multipurpose, wall-mounted surround speaker delivers genuine stereo and multichannel Hi-Fi performance with impressive high-frequencies, an expressive midrange and surprisingly extended bass.
Wood fibre woofer
The 6½” bass driver has been designed according to our sound design principles of low loss, low distortion, and low colouration. The ideal driver plays only what the amplifier supplies… nothing is added, nothing is taken away. Every component is carefully designed to contribute towards this goal, including the paper pulp and wood fibre cone, which ensures minimal break-up resonance for a high resolution midrange and precise, coherent bass.
Reducing distortion with SMC
The OPTICON LCR MK2 driver magnet system consists of a large ferrite ring magnet surrounding a pole-piece manufactured entirely of the unique DALI SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) material. The use of SMC greatly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents, resulting in a drastic reduction in third-order distortion for extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange, and a surprising amount of detailing.
Hybrid tweeter
Dali’s signature hybrid tweeter module marries a 29 mm soft dome tweeter with a custom 17 x 45 mm planar element. Both drivers are mounted on a cast aluminium faceplate, which provides a solid platform for the drivers and incorporates dispersion control detailing for optimal delivery of the high frequencies for off-axis listening. Our hybrid tweeter offers the best of both worlds – the clarity, speed and dynamics of a dome tweeter with the very high-frequency detail and smooth finesse of a planar tweeter.
High-quality cabinet
With a 25 mm thick front baffle and extra internal bracing, the OPTICON LCR MK2 cabinet is extremely rigid and practically eliminates panel resonance. To ensure the best possible quality product, Dali manufactures and tests OPTICON MK2 series speakers at their production facilities in central Denmark, carrying out everything from cutting and routing of the wood laminate panels to installing the drivers and crossover.
