Efficiency

The DALI Oberon 1 is a two-way ultra-compact bookshelf speaker with a single rear port. For the best audio performance, we recommend placing this speaker on a solid stand with a minimum distance of 6-12” from the back of the speaker to the wall behind it. With a lower efficiency rating of 86 dB and a 6 ohm impedance, you will want to pair the DALI Oberon 1 with a quality amplifier.

“If you’re looking for a small, unfussy pair of speakers we can’t think of anything more capable at this kind of price than these Dalis. They really are a joy.”

The Creative Audio Review

Fun is the word that comes to mind when listening to these speakers. Despite their compact size, they really do pack an awesome sonic punch. We love seeing the expressions of surprise and delight when we demo them in our showroom. Compared to DALI’s entry-level Spektor 1, the Oberon 1 is superior in every single sense. The bass is what surprises people most, and not just because of the depth but also its speed and control. This is not a small speaker that tries too hard, but rather it gets it just right. DALI’s tweeter in the Oberon series offers up significantly more fine detail, bringing a greater sense of space to the soundstage. Vocals are reproduced with neutrality and speed. In fact ‘speed’ might be the best word to sum up the Oberon 1: they have a great sense of timing which makes the music sound inherently ‘right’. We love them and recommend them without hesitation. For a larger space or if you just like a bit more extension in the bass, the larger Oberon 3 is the speaker for you.

Creative Audio Pro Tips

  • The DALI Oberon 1 will sound great from the moment you start playing them, but they will sound even better after 100 hours of use.

  • With a compact bookshelf speaker such as the DALI Oberon 1, placement closer to the back wall will help reinforce bass frequencies for a fuller sound at all volume levels.

  • A good quality speaker wire with banana plug connectors will give these speakers the opportunity to sound their best.
