Dali Epicon 2 – Bookshelf Speaker – Pair

Description

Produces an astonishingly large and accurate three-dimensional sound that will impress even the most discerning audiophiles.
Patented SMC
Their patented Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) is the heart of the magnet motor system, minimising coloration and distortion.
Linear Drive Magnet System
The SMC-based Linear Drive Magnet System eliminates eddy currents, hysteresis, flux variations and voice-coil inductance.
In-House Woofers
The latest generation of wood fibre based woofers are developed and manufactured at their production facilities in Denmark.
Multilayer Laminate
6 layers of MDF form a rigid construction that reduces cabinet resonances, while the rounded form practically eliminates standing waves.
ASTONISHING PERFORMANCE
Delivering EPICON sound in a compact cab
The EPICON 2 is an astounding compact loudspeaker for those looking for high performance in a small form factor. The 2-way design features a 6½” bass driver and a 29 mm soft-cone dome tweeter, which inherit many of the technological breakthroughs of the larger EPICON 6 and EPICON 8 speakers. With highly linear, fantastically coherent sound that truly belies its physical size, the EPICON 2 brings an astounding musical experience to small and medium-sized rooms.
Patented SMC
Reducing distortion for superior sound
For decades, they have specialised in the design of magnet systems. For the EPICON 2, they decided to challenge everyhthing they knew to take magnet system design further than ever before. The answer is a Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) material that offers exactly the right combination of physical properties – exceptionally high magnetic conductivity and extremely low electrical conductivity. The result is a dramatic reduction in distortion caused by mechanical loss in the magnet system.
OVERSIZED TWEETER
Smooth and wide horizontal dispersion
The EPICON 2’s oversized 29 mm soft dome tweeter is characterised by low resonance frequency, high power handling, exceptional headroom for high sound pressure levels and extreme excursions. This exceptional combination of qualities combine to deliver an extremely smooth and wide horizontal dispersion – a signature DALI quality.
WOOD FIBRE WOOFER
Reproducing the finest details
They believe that low mechanical loss is essential to great sound and were among the first to control frequency response through carefully balanced designs. One such design is their signature wood fibre cone technology, which enables the EPICON 2 to reproduce the finest details and dynamics in any music with very low loss of information.
EXQUISITE CABINET
Beautiful real wood veneer in rigid form
The EPICON 2’s real wood veneer cabinet takes craftsmanship to exceptional heights. With 10 layers of lacquer, hand-polished between each application, it’s as durable as it is beautiful. The cabinet also contributes to the sonic performance. Serving as an acoustically tuned ‘spring’ for the drivers, the rigid construction eliminates unwanted resonance, while the curved baffle practically eliminates standing waves.
