No more fumbling with the volume dial, no more reaching for subtitles on every late-night film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated third channel with 86 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm impedance that any off-the-shelf AV receiver handles without trouble. The frequency response of 70 to 20,000 Hz is precisely tailored to this task: no unnecessary deep bass, which the subwoofer takes on anyway in the set, but full focus on the range where voices live. Connection is via gold-plated single-wire terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Forus Center suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if your TV is only connected to a soundbar, this center can't be hooked up – that requires an AV receiver with its own center output. It also has no role in a pure stereo setup. But if you already listen in multi-channel and have so far left the middle to the front speakers, this is the most noticeable single upgrade to your home cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the speakers in a surround set, the center changes the experience the most – and it's the one most often bought last.

If dialogue is still hard to understand afterwards, raise the center manually by one to two decibels – that's usually enough. Many receivers also have a dialogue or voice mode that emphasises exactly this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt what height and orientation should the Forus Center go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs close as possible to the centre of the picture, so directly below or above the TV. If it sits noticeably lower than your ears, tilt it slightly upward towards the seating position – a felt wedge under the front edge is enough. Let it stand freely, don't place it in an enclosed cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow deep does the Forus Center play, and do I need a subwoofer with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reaches down to 70 Hz. That's entirely sufficient for voices, but not for explosions and film scores. In a home cinema, the subwoofer takes over below that anyway, which the AV receiver usually crosses over at 80 Hz. So a subwoofer in the set is clearly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Forus Center supplied individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the center is sold as a single unit – unlike stereo pairs, which always come as two. In a 5.1 system you need exactly one. It weighs 4.3 kilograms; front cover and rubber feet are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Forus Center in White from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the setup matters at least as much as the speaker itself.

A centre channel sits centred below or above the screen, and your home cinema needs exactly one. If you're planning a complete set, front and surround speakers come separately – we're happy to put the combination together with you so everything matches in the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the Townus 50 fit under my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt measures 50 × 17 × 27.7 cm and needs a sturdy shelf around 28 cm deep. Feet are included. Try to angle it toward ear height, or tilt it slightly toward your seating position – that noticeably helps speech intelligibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Townus 50 need an AV receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it's a passive speaker with no built-in amplifier. An AV receiver or a multi-channel power amp drives it. Nominal impedance is 4 to 8 ohms, power handling 85 watts rated and 140 watts music power.

That's exactly why Canton doesn't skimp on drivers here: two 154 mm titanium diaphragms with wave surrounds handle the fundamental, while the 25 mm ceramic dome takes over from 3,000 Hz and renders up to 40,000 Hz. The second crossover sits at 400 Hz – that keeps male voices free of boominess.

Without it, speech shifts left or right depending on where you sit. It's the most heavily used channel in a home cinema and makes the biggest difference to intelligibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the white Townus 50 suit speakers from other ranges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, yes; sonically, the Townus family is the cleanest solution. A centre channel should share the same tonal character as the front speakers, otherwise you get an audible break when the sound pans from left to right. Tell us what's up front, and we'll tell you honestly whether it matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow deep does the Townus 50 play – do I also need a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reaches down to 30 Hz, which already delivers solid substance. For film sound with deep bass below that mark, a subwoofer is still worthwhile, since it relieves the centre channel.

Yet it still packs the complete Opticon technology: a 165 mm woofer\/midrange with a wood fibre cone and SMC magnet system, plus a hybrid tweeter module made up of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon. The module can be rotated, so the dispersion is correct whichever way the speaker is mounted – upright as L\/R, or sideways as the centre channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon LCR MK2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it delivers genuine hi-fi sound while almost disappearing on the wall – especially thoroughly in Black Ash against a dark TV wall. The cabinet, with its 25 mm thick baffle and additional internal bracing, is significantly stiffer than its slim silhouette suggests.

The treble reveals detail without hissing: the fabric dome works up to 14 kHz, above which the ribbon takes over.

As a stereo pair on the wall, as a centre channel under the TV, or as a complete LCR front – it's always the same speaker. It's not the right choice if you expect deep bass below 70 Hz without a subwoofer, or want to place it freely on a shelf: it relies on the wall behind it.

All five models share the same SMC magnet technology and the same wood fibre cone type; front and centre additionally carry the hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon. Effects therefore move from left to right and from front to back without an audible seam.

The Opticon MK2 tuning is neutral and unfussy, rather than demanding your attention with glossy highs. The two Opticon 6 MK2, each with two 6.5-inch woofer\/midranges, reach down to 49 Hz – enough foundation that music and most films sound mature even without a subwoofer. The Vokal MK2 pulls dialogue cleanly out of the action, even while a city is collapsing in the background.

From around 18–20 m² the set opens up; in a 10 m² room the bass booms, and no amount of persuasion changes that. The honest tuning exposes weak soundtracks instead of smoothing them over – anyone chasing pure loudness impact is better served elsewhere. All five run at 4 Ω, so your amplifier or AV receiver should be stable into that load.

The five speakers share SMC magnet technology and wood fibre cones, with the front and center also getting the hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon. Effects then travel through the room without an audible seam. The active Sub E-12 F takes over below that with 170 watts of Class D power and a 12-inch long-throw aluminium driver, relieving the front speakers exactly where things would otherwise get tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp top, it stays neutral and unfussy. The Opticon MK2 tuning doesn't push itself forward, letting voices and instruments simply stand there; the Vokal MK2 keeps dialogue intelligible even while a city collapses next door. And then the subwoofer joins in: down to 28 Hz, up to 112 dB maximum level. That's no longer just bass – it's the part of the film you feel in your chest.

In a noise-sensitive older building, you won't make new friends with it once the level rises – deep bass doesn't stop at walls. The Opticon 6 MK2 also need room; from around 18–20 m² the balance is right. The five speakers run at 4 Ω and need a load-stable AV receiver, while the subwoofer needs only a power outlet and an RCA cable. If you have the space and want real cinema impact, this is for you; if you can only whisper after ten in the evening, the 5.0 set suits you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.1 set is the consistent version of the Opticon home cinema: a homogeneous surround field from a single series, plus a subwoofer that doesn't just hint at the last octave.

The Opticon Vokal MK2 sits between them as the center, and two compact Opticon 1 MK2 take the surround channels at the back. The black ash veneer with black grilles lets the towers recede visually – quite handy at 34 kilos per side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon 8\/1\/Vokal MK2 5.0 Set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this isn't five random speakers plugged together, but a family. All five work with DALI wood fibre cones and the patented SMC magnet motor, which noticeably lowers distortion in the drive. The front and center also share the hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm planar driver; the Opticon 1 MK2 at the back use the same dome without the planar unit. Tonally, the same signature runs through every channel – and that's exactly what marks out a set conceived as a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass first. Four 20 cm drivers at the front move enough air that orchestras and film scores really carry at the bottom instead of merely hinting at it; it stops at 38 Hz, which you rarely hear. Because the midrange driver sits in its own sealed chamber with its own job to do, voices stay free of the bass action. The Vokal MK2 sets dialogue clearly in the middle, even when things get loud all around. And the Opticon 1 MK2 at the back deliver precise effects without pushing themselves forward – surround should build space, not demand attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the 5.0 Set suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: for large rooms. Under around 25 square metres, the Opticon 8 MK2 don't get to show their strengths – they overwhelm the room instead. You also need amplification that drives cleanly at 4 ohms – DALI states 40 to 300 watts for the front. If you live smaller or work with a modest entry-level AV receiver, the smaller 6\/1\/Vokal set suits you better. And if you want to feel the last rumble under 38 Hz at blockbusters, plan for a subwoofer: the set ships as 5.0, not 5.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA set for people who don't want to separate cinema and music.

The four 20 cm woofers of the two Opticon 8 MK2 reach down to 38 Hz and carry effortlessly. If you want to physically feel LFE effects below that mark, upgrade the 5.0 set later to a 5.1 system with a matching subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo all five speakers have the same tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot quite. The two Opticon 8 MK2 and the Vokal MK2 center use the hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm planar driver. The Opticon 1 MK2 at the back work with the same 29 mm dome, but without the planar unit. That's no drawback for surround channels – the tonal colour stays consistent across all five channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the Opticon 8\/1\/Vokal MK2 Set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA load-stable AV receiver or a multi-channel power amp that drives cleanly at 4 ohms. DALI recommends 40 to 300 watts for the Opticon 8 MK2, 30 to 150 watts for the center. Current delivery capability matters more than raw wattage; we're happy to go through your electronics with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much space do the Opticon 8 MK2 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tower measures 1,141 mm in height, 241 mm in width and 450 mm in depth and weighs 34 kilograms. Reckon on at least 25 to 30 square metres of floor space and some distance from the rear wall, so the bass reflex system, tuned to 29.5 hertz, can breathe freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does this set only come in two finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause DALI builds the Opticon 8 MK2 exclusively in Black Ash and Tobacco Oak. The center and surrounds would also be available in Silk White, but the large towers wouldn't – and a white center in front of black towers wouldn't be a set, it would be a compromise. That's why it stays at two colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the DALI Opticon 8\/1\/Vokal MK2 Set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a 5.0 system of this size lives on placement, room and electronics – and that's exactly where experience helps.

The warm Tobacco Oak with black front grilles turns the 1.14-metre-tall towers into furniture rather than technology – anyone running HiFi in the living room instead of a basement cinema knows why that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this set and not five separate purchases?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause DALI developed the series as a whole. Wood fibre cones and the patented SMC magnet motor sit inside every one of the five cabinets; the front and center additionally get the hybrid tweeter with a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm planar driver. The Opticon 1 MK2 at the back use the same 29 mm dome, but without the planar unit. You wouldn't get this unity of tonal colour from five unrelated models – and retrofitting tends to cost more than starting out right the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass that comes from the floor rather than a box: four 20 cm woofers at the front, down to 38 Hz. Above that, a dedicated 16.5 cm midrange driver works in a sealed chamber, so voices and strings don't have to compete with the low end. The Vokal MK2 keeps dialogue intelligible in the center even during loud scenes. At the back, the Opticon 1 MK2 finely trace rain, reverb and traffic noise – small in cabinet size, big in resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Tobacco Oak Set suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if you have less than about 25 square metres available, you're buying too much speaker here. The amplifier has to play along too – 4 ohm nominal impedance and a recommended 40 to 300 watts at the front call for a load-stable AV receiver or a multi-channel power amp. In large living spaces with wood floors and lots of glass, though, the set is exactly right. For the lowest octaves in effects-heavy films, add a subwoofer later; the set ships as 5.0 from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA home cinema set that doesn't treat music as a sideshow.

The Opticon Vokal MK2 center and the Opticon 1 MK2 are single-wire speakers with one pair of terminals.

The dark Black Ash keeps a low visual profile under a black TV – exactly the role a center should play: heard, not seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon Vokal MK2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it puts an end to the eternal \"what did he just say?\". The hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon radiates broadly, so even the seat at the edge of the sofa gets intelligible voices. Add a 165 mm wood fibre driver with SMC magnet system that keeps the midrange from turning harsh even after two hours of film. Both bass reflex ports fire forward – so the Vokal MK2 can go into a furniture niche without the bass booming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntelligibility, without anyone artificially boosting the voice. The Vokal MK2 reaches down to 47 Hz and covers the vocal range completely instead of handing it off to the subwoofer. At the top end it runs up to 30,000 Hz, which renders sibilants smoothly rather than sharply. And because all Opticon MK2 models share the same signature, a voice moving across the front during a camera pan doesn't change character along the way. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we plan fronts like this regularly – the jump from \"any old center\" to a matched center is bigger than the jump from 5.1 to 7.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Opticon Vokal MK2 suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: at 43.5 cm wide and 9.2 kg, it's no dwarf. If you only have a narrow shelf under the TV, measure twice – squeezed in, it looks like a piece of furniture that lost its way. For a front made of Opticon 6 or 8 MK2, though, it's the logical middle. And if you only turn on the TV for the news, a soundbar is the more affordable option; honesty is honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA center that doesn't want to stand out, but to work: broad dispersion, calm midrange, front-vented and therefore furniture-friendly. In Black Ash it's the most discreet of the three finishes and the obvious choice next to a dark TV cabinet; the black front grille is included from the factory. If your front is already from the Opticon MK2 line, there's hardly a reason to keep looking. Tell us about your room, and we'll work out whether your receiver delivers the recommended 30 to 150 watts cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinciple:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2½-way, bass reflex with two forward-firing ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 – 30,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 – 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidrange\/woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 165 mm (6½ inch), wood fibre cone with SMC magnet system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e hybrid – 29 mm fabric dome + 17 × 45 mm ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequencies:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,400 \/ 14,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass reflex tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of binding posts, single-wiring (no bi-wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 201 × 435 × 312 mm (incl. feet and front grille)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Ash, White Satin Matte, Tobacco Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e center speaker, black front grille, rubber feet, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Opticon Vokal MK2 fit into a TV cabinet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it fits well into an open niche. Both bass reflex ports sit at the front, so it doesn't need clearance behind it. Reckon on 43.5 cm width, 20.1 cm height and 31.2 cm depth, plus a little room for cables and plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the Vokal MK2 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends 30 to 150 watts. With 88 dB sensitivity and 4 ohm nominal impedance, it's no special case: a solid mid-range AV receiver drives it effortlessly. What matters more than the wattage is that your receiver runs stably at 4 ohms and levels the center cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Vokal MK2 be connected in bi-wiring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it has a single pair of terminals and runs in single-wiring. DALI only offers bi-wiring in the Opticon MK2 series on the Opticon 6 MK2 and Opticon 8 MK2. For the center, a decent speaker cable to your receiver's center output is entirely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I combine the Vokal MK2 with speakers from other series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically yes, tonally it's a compromise. It plays most homogeneously with Opticon MK2 models, because the tweeter and cone material are identical. If your front comes from a different brand, voices will audibly shift character during a pan. We're happy to take a look at your combination beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Opticon Vokal MK2 sold individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, individually. A center by definition stands alone in the middle, so you get exactly one speaker including front grille and rubber feet. For front and surround channels you'll need additional speakers; which ones make sense depends on room size, seating distance and your existing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the DALI Opticon Vokal MK2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a center is only as good as its tuning to the rest of the system.

Tobacco Oak is the choice for anyone who doesn't want a black box under the TV: warm wood tone, matte surface, matching oak furniture and bright living rooms.

Sit off the middle axis and voices drift towards the nearer box – a dedicated center keeps them anchored to the screen. The hybrid tweeter made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon radiates so broadly that even the corner seat on the sofa still understands everything.

The Vokal MK2 plays down to 47 Hz and lets even deep male voices stand fully on their own, rather than handing them off to the subwoofer. Up top it runs to 30,000 Hz, which renders consonants cleanly rather than sharply. In practice, that means: you turn it down and understand more.

If you have a TV cabinet with only 40 cm of internal width, though, measure first – 43.5 cm doesn't forgive wishful thinking.

DALI supplies the Tobacco Oak and Black Ash finishes with a black covering from the factory, and the white model with a light grey one. If you want a different colour on the oak center, you can get grey or white as a separate front grille – purely visual, with no effect on sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Vokal MK2 need a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor films, yes; for normal TV viewing, not necessarily.

White Satin Matte is the finish for bright rooms: against a white wall or on a light-coloured sideboard, the Vokal MK2 barely stands out despite being a good 43 centimetres wide. One detail that surprises many people: DALI includes a light grey front grille with the white cabinet from the factory, not a white one.

The hybrid tweeter combines a 29 mm fabric dome with a 17 × 45 mm ribbon and radiates more broadly than a plain dome – the sound stays the same across the full width of the sofa.

Factor in the light grey grille if you're after a uniformly white look. Tell us what your room looks like and which speakers you already have, and we'll plan the rest with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinciple:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2½-way, bass reflex with two forward-firing ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 – 30,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 – 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidrange\/woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 165 mm (6½ inch), wood fibre cone with SMC magnet system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e hybrid – 29 mm fabric dome + 17 × 45 mm ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequencies:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,400 \/ 14,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass reflex tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of binding posts, single-wiring (no bi-wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 201 × 435 × 312 mm (incl. feet and front grille)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Ash, White Satin Matte, Tobacco Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e center speaker, light grey front grille, rubber feet, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour is the front grille on the white Vokal MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight grey, not white. DALI ships the White Satin Matte finish from the factory with a mottled grey covering; the white variant is optional accessory and ordered separately. Colour has no effect on sound, it's purely visual – we're happy to include the matching one for you right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow high should the Vokal MK2 stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs close as possible to seated ear height, ideally directly under the TV. Because both bass reflex ports fire forward, it can also go into a furniture niche. If it sits noticeably lower, a slight upward tilt helps; the included rubber feet decouple it from the surface as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Vokal MK2 suit bookshelf speakers up front?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, very well in fact. With Opticon 1 or 2 MK2 up front, you get a homogeneous 5.1 system, because all the models use the same hybrid tweeter. Just make sure not to level the center louder than the front speakers – your AV receiver's auto-calibration usually handles this for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power makes sense?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI specifies 30 to 150 watts. With 88 dB sensitivity and 4 ohm nominal impedance, the center already plays loud enough effortlessly on a mid-sized AV receiver; reserves never hurt though. What matters most is that the receiver runs stably at 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs White Satin Matte also suitable for wall mounting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vokal MK2 is designed as a stand-alone solution under the TV and comes with rubber feet, not a wall bracket. For the wall, the Opticon LCR MK2 from the same series is the better fit.

Stand it upright as a stereo pair or front speaker, or lay it flat under the TV as a center – thanks to the coaxial mid\/treble driver, the sound stays focused in any orientation.

Straight talk: as a center channel, the 70LCR is deliberately wide; laid flat, it needs correspondingly wide furniture under the TV. And it's not a wall-mount speaker to hang up – it wants to stand or lie down, not be screwed to the wall.

Upright, it serves as a front or bookshelf speaker; lying flat, it's a center under the TV. Because all three positions use the same speaker, the front is tonally perfectly matched and voices travel seamlessly from left to right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Founder 70LCR a wall-mount speaker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The 70LCR is meant to be stood up or laid down, not hung on the wall. Upright, it fits on a stand, sideboard, or shelf; lying flat as a center, it goes on a sufficiently wide TV cabinet. Plan the placement accordingly so it stands stable and free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many Founder 70LCRs do I need for home cinema?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor a classic Founder front, you'd use three 70LCRs as left, center, and right.

On top of that come two 130mm Kevlar woofers, giving male voices the foundation that small center speakers typically owe you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDialogue becomes intelligible without you having to ride the volume – and it stays that way even when the music track underneath picks up. With 89 dB sensitivity, the 5.C is undemanding enough that even a mid-range AV receiver drives it cleanly.

Plainly put: if you lock it inside a closed rack compartment or behind a cabinet door, you might as well save your money – it needs a clear sightline to the listening position.

It forgives a few centimeters of offset without issue, thanks to its even dispersion. What it doesn't forgive is a closed furniture compartment or a cabinet door in front of it – that's exactly where it loses the precision you bought it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a mid-range AV receiver enough for the EVO 5.C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. With 89 dB sensitivity and a minimum impedance of 4.1 ohms, it's uncomplicated to drive. 25 to 120 watts is recommended. More important than power is that the receiver is 4-ohm capable – which is standard on current mid-range units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the EVO 5.C also work with speakers from other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt'll always work technically, but it rarely sounds homogeneous. Because the 5.C uses the same AMT tweeter and the same Kevlar diaphragms as the other EVO 5 models, it forms a seamless front together with them, with no audible break during a pan.
