{"product_id":"daliopticonlcrmk2oak","title":"DALI Opticon LCR MK2 On-Wall Speaker, Tobacco Oak (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon LCR MK2 in Tobacco Oak is a flat on-wall speaker used as a left, right or centre channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTobacco Oak is the warmest of the three finishes – a warm wood tone instead of technical black, making it the variant that blends into a living room with wooden furniture rather than dominating it. Technically it's identical: a 165 mm woofer\/midrange with wood fibre cone and SMC magnet system, topped by a hybrid tweeter module made of a 29 mm fabric dome and a 17 × 45 mm ribbon. Because this module can rotate, the same speaker works both upright and sideways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Opticon LCR MK2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 128 millimetres of depth doesn't have to be a compromise on sound. DALI fits a 25 mm thick baffle plus additional internal bracing so the slim cabinet doesn't resonate. The bass reflex port works along the wall instead of against it – which keeps the bass defined even though there's hardly any volume to work with. And three identical LCRs across the front really do sound the same from left to right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open, airy sound with clearly drawn voices. The fabric dome carries the treble up to 14 kHz, above which the ribbon adds the fine overtones – it sounds like air, not sandpaper. The bass extension ends at 70 Hz and stays controlled while doing so. If you like films with punch, add a subwoofer; for music in the evening, you don't strictly need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Opticon LCR MK2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: for living rooms where speakers should look good without getting in the way – and in Tobacco Oak, especially for rooms with wood and light surfaces. It's less suitable if you don't have a wall that can bear the weight, if deep bass without a subwoofer is a must, or if you want to place it freely on a sideboard – the wall is acoustically part of the concept here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA speaker that ends the “soundbar or the real thing?” debate pretty quickly. Honestly: most living rooms would benefit more from this than from yet another tower in the corner. The trade press agreed: “With the new Opticon LCR MK2, Dali impressively shows that on-walls are a genuine alternative to soundbars and conventional speakers.” (lite-magazin.de, February 2022, top marks).

You mount them upright to the left and right of the TV or sideboard at ear height. The tweeter module then stays in the vertical position. Only for the sideways-mounted centre channel do you rotate it by 90 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the Opticon LCR MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends 30 to 150 watts at 4 ohms. More important than wattage figures is an amplifier that handles 4 ohms stably – most good integrated amplifiers and AV receivers do. At 89 dB sensitivity, it gets properly loud even with moderate power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Opticon LCR MK2 supplied singly or in pairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingly, the price is per unit. That's standard and practical for LCR speakers: you buy exactly as many as your configuration needs – two for stereo, three for the cinema front, more for surround. We're happy to work this out with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the speaker mounted on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia the mounting points on the back, upright or sideways. Mounting hardware isn't included because it needs to match the wall: concrete, brick and plasterboard each call for something different. Eight kilograms per speaker is no picture frame – if in doubt, our technician Mauri takes care of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 in Tobacco Oak from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we've been setting up systems for over a quarter of a century and know how on-wall speakers behave in everyday use.
