{"product_id":"daliopticon1mk2oak","title":"DALI Opticon 1 MK2 Bookshelf Speaker, Tobacco Oak (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 1 MK2 is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker that fits a 4¾-inch wood fibre driver, a 29 mm fabric dome tweeter and DALI's SMC magnet drive into a 26-centimetre-high cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tobacco Oak finish is the warmest of the three: a mid-brown oak woodgrain that works with oak furniture, walnut and open shelving instead of against them. The Opticon 1 MK2 is built entirely at DALI's factory in Denmark – laminate cutting, finishing, assembly and final inspection all under one roof. The tweeter, according to the manufacturer, comes from the CALLISTO C series, and the SMC material in the pole piece reduces eddy-current distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon 1 MK2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the effort goes exactly where you hear it. SMC in the magnet system lowers precisely the distortions that otherwise make small drivers a struggle; the stiff paper-pulp and wood-fibre cone breaks up late and keeps the midrange clean. Add a 25 mm thick baffle and internal bracing – the cabinet stays quiet while the driver works. Small doesn't mean undemanding here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiming. The Opticon 1 MK2 places notes right on the beat and lets them go right on the beat again – guitar strikes, brushes on the snare, the onset of a voice. The bass reaches down to 62 Hz and stays bone-dry rather than borrowing volume. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we listen to what you currently play and tell you honestly whether this pair is the right size for your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Opticon 1 MK2 suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: for rooms of roughly 12 to 25 square metres, for people who listen closely, and for anyone for whom floorstanding speakers are simply too much furniture. It's not suited to large, open-plan living spaces or party volumes – at some point it simply runs out of cone area. Tobacco Oak also makes it a piece of furniture: if you'd rather show off the technology than hide it, this is the one to go for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most honest compact speakers in its class. Nothing is glossed over, nothing padded out – and that's exactly why it still holds up after the third month. In Tobacco Oak it's also the version you won't want to put away: a rare case where looks and tuning pull in the same direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinciple:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way, bass reflex (Dual Flare)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 – 25,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 dB (1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer\/midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 4¾ inch (12 cm), wood fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 29 mm fabric dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 – 100 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e screw terminals, single-wire (no bi-wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H×W×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 261 × 152 × 231 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.6 kg per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tobacco Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e speaker pair, 2 front covers, rubber feet, wall brackets, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Tobacco Oak actually look like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTobacco Oak is a mid-brown, satin-finished oak woodgrain with visible grain – warmer than walnut and noticeably lighter than wenge. It goes well with light oak furniture and open shelving. If you'd like to see how the finish looks in your light, we're happy to send you a close-up photo from our warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the wall can the Opticon 1 MK2 be placed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow for at least five to ten centimetres of clearance at the back. The Dual Flare port vents with low turbulence, so it's less sensitive to wall proximity than many bass-reflex speakers. Still, too close to the wall and the upper bass builds up; too far away and it loses foundation – the sweet spot is usually somewhere in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mount the Opticon 1 MK2 on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, DALI includes wall brackets with the pair. For stereo listening, stands remain the better solution because you can freely choose height and toe-in. On the wall it works especially well as a rear speaker in a multichannel setup – we'll sort out the mounting surface and cable routing with you beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Opticon 1 MK2 sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the listed price is for the stereo pair. DALI builds and measures the speakers in pairs from the same component batch so left and right are tuned identically. The box contains two cabinets, two front covers, rubber feet, wall brackets and the manual. Single-unit sale is therefore not offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Opticon 1 MK2 in Tobacco Oak from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we don't just supply you, we place it in context: which amplifier fits, where the pair should stand in your room, whether a size up would make more sense.
