DALI OPTICON VOKAL MK2 Center Channel Speaker with Hybrid Tweeter - (Each)

Overview

Dialogue carries most of a film, so the centre channel has to stay clear when the soundtrack gets busy, and the DALI OPTICON VOKAL MK2 is voiced for exactly that job.

The DALI OPTICON VOKAL MK2 is a centre channel speaker designed to fit into a full OPTICON MK2 audio-visual system. A 6½-inch wood fibre bass/midrange driver works with a hybrid tweeter that combines a 29mm soft dome with a 17 x 45mm planar element. DALI hand-assembles and tests it in Denmark.

Its twin front-facing letterbox reflex ports allow a more compact enclosure than a traditional centre speaker, so it can sit against a wall under a TV or projector, or inside TV furniture. It is sold individually.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

DALI says the OPTICON VOKAL MK2 pairs with any speaker in the OPTICON MK2 series, and it is powerful enough to partner the range-topping OPTICON 8 MK2. With a recommended amplifier range of 30W to 150W, we are glad to talk through your front-stage layout and placement before you decide.

Why the DALI OPTICON VOKAL MK2 Stands Out

Voiced for the Centre Channel

DALI specifically voices the OPTICON VOKAL MK2 for the centre channel role and engineers it to fit into a full OPTICON MK2 system.

Hybrid Tweeter Module

A 29mm soft dome and a custom 17 x 45mm planar element share a cast aluminium faceplate with dispersion control detailing for off-axis listening.

Slim Front-Facing Reflex Ports

Twin letterbox ports on the front allow a more compact enclosure and let you place the speaker against a wall or in TV furniture.

Patented SMC Magnet System

DALI's Soft Magnetic Composite pole piece greatly reduces hysteresis and eddy-current distortion, including third-order distortion.

Wood Fibre Cone

The 6½-inch driver uses fine paper pulp and reinforced wood fibre for a stiff, lightweight cone that reproduces fine detail accurately.

Handcrafted in Denmark

DALI hand-assembles, tests and quality-checks everything from cutting the laminate to surface finishing at its Danish production facilities.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • The Dialogue-First Film Fan: wants clear speech and detail from the centre channel.
  • The Under-the-Display Installer: wants a centre speaker that fits beneath a TV or projector screen, or inside TV furniture.
  • The OPTICON MK2 System Builder: wants a centre speaker matched to an OPTICON MK2 front stage for a discreet home surround setup.

How It Compares

Within the OPTICON MK2 range, the OPTICON VOKAL MK2 is the dedicated centre channel model. The OPTICON LCR MK2 is a wall-mount speaker for left, centre or right duty, while the OPTICON 1 MK2, OPTICON 2 MK2, OPTICON 6 MK2 and OPTICON 8 MK2 cover the front and stereo roles.
