Ultra-lightweight tweeter
The Sonik series features a new DALI tweeter design. With a dome made from a woven fabric, this material weighs less than half of most other soft domes on the market today. It’s ultra-lightweight design means it can move fast, resolving the finest high frequency details. This material also allows DALI to make the dome larger than most tweeters which allows it to offer wide dispersion and greater accuracy in its lower frequency range, allowing for a seamless handover to the main drivers.
Clarity Cone drivers
The ideal midrange and bass driver cone material is stiff, lightweight, and self-damping. DALI has long pioneered the use of fine grain paper pulp cones reinforced with wood fibres. In the Sonik series DALI enhances this material with their Clarity Cone profile, allowing them to not only reproduce frequencies without colouration but also capturing every dynamic detail - from those near-silent moments to high-impact bursts of musical energy. Integral to the performance of DALI’s main drivers is their patented SMC (soft magnetic compound) magnet structures which significantly reduce distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents in the driver’s motor assembly.
Timeless Design
Scandinavian design cues make for a speaker that will blend seamlessly into any environment. From minimalist apartments or condos to grand traditional living spaces or ultra-modern interiors, DALI’s Sonik series will fit right in. There are four colourways to choose from and each features its own unique woven multi-colour fabric grille for those who wish to hide the driver technology from view. Black and white keep things simple, while walnut and natural oak bring the warmth of earthy wood tones to your listening room. The DALI Sonik series is as much a feast for your eyes as it is for your ears.
Creative Audio Pro Tips
The DALI Sonik 3 will sound great from the moment you start playing them, but they will sound even better after 100 hours of use.
For best results, we recommend experimenting with placement of the speaker relative to the wall behind it. In most cases ideal results will be achieved with a distance of 6-18” between the back of the speaker and this wall.
A good quality speaker wire with banana plug connectors will give these speakers the opportunity to sound their best.
