Underneath, it's exactly the same technology as the other two colours: a two-way cabinet of around ten litres developed in Denmark, with a 25 millimetre thick, black lacquered baffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon 2 MK2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause DALI brings together two things that rarely go together: a 16.5 centimetre driver with real foundation and a cabinet that still fits on a sideboard. The wood fibre cone is light yet well damped, and the patented SMC magnet system keeps distortion in the midrange low. The 29 millimetre tweeter is a new development based on the chassis of the Callisto series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open, effortless sound with surprisingly deep bass for the cabinet size. The crossover at 2,000 hertz means vocals come entirely from the large driver – you can hear that in how cohesive the singing sounds. Down low it reaches 59 hertz, with the bass reflex port tuned to 46 hertz. Where other compacts start to strain, this one stays composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Opticon 2 MK2 suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain and simple: for anyone who can put up a stand, or has a sideboard with room behind it. In an enclosed alcove, the concept doesn't work – the rear port needs space. At 4 ohms and 86.5 decibels of sensitivity, you'll also want a current-stable amplifier; DALI states a range of 30 to 150 watts. It's not suited as an in-wall or outdoor speaker – it wasn't built for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tobacco Oak version is the cosiest of the three – and it sounds exactly as good as the other two. Give it a stand and a decent amplifier, and you get a compact that makes some floorstanders look old. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we like to pair it with a current-stable integrated amplifier. Let's be honest: it won't work squeezed onto a bookshelf between the books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way, bass reflex with dual flare port (rear)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59 – 25,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86.5 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 107 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer\/midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 16.5 cm (6½ in), wood fibre cone with SMC magnet system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 29 mm fabric dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,000 Hz\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\u003eBass reflex tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 10 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBaffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm, black lacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wire, two screw terminals (no bi-wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5 × 35.1 × 29.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.7 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tobacco Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair of speakers incl. front covers, rubber feet, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Opticon 2 MK2 in Tobacco Oak suit light-coloured furniture?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in most cases. Tobacco Oak is a mid-brown wood tone with visible oak grain and works well with both light oak and darker walnut. The black lacquered baffle adds a calm contrast. If you're unsure, send us a photo of your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Opticon 2 MK2 absolutely need a stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot strictly, but it's a good idea. On a stand at ear height and with distance from the rear wall, it plays at its cleanest. A sideboard also works, as long as there's air behind it and the tweeter isn't sitting well below ear height. A tight bookshelf is the one placement we'd advise against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Opticon 2 MK2 suitable as a surround speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All models in the Opticon MK2 series share the same tweeter and tuning, so it blends seamlessly, sonically, with an Opticon 6 MK2 or 8 MK2 up front. As a rear channel, an AV receiver capable of handling 4 ohms is enough; the 30 to 150 watt range applies here too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy order the Opticon 2 MK2 in Tobacco Oak from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you don't just get a box – you get the context to go with it.
