NEW MODELS JOIN THE DALI EPIKORE 11 LOUDSPEAKERS
DALI launches EPIKORE series of speakers featuring low distortion SMC Gen-2 technology and adding to the EPIKORE 11.
Now joining the DALI EPIKORE 11 are the DALI EPIKORE 3 stand-mount, and EPIKORE 7 and EPIKORE 9 floorstanders.
DALI EPIKORE SERIES
With the new EPIKORE Series, DALI draws upon its 40 years of loudspeaker research and development. The natural evolution of the DALI EPICON serie and inheriting several innovative technologies from the DALI KORE flagship speaker the EPIKORE Series of loudspeakers now has four models.
Three new models have been released to sit alongside the EPIKORE 11 4½-way floorstander: The EPIKORE 3 3-way stand-mount, EPIKORE 7 3½-way floorstander, and EPIKORE 9 4-way floorstander.
PREMIUM FINISHES
The DALI EPIKORE series are available in three premium finishes — High Gloss Black, High Gloss Walnut, and High Gloss Maroon — and share several key technologies. These include the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter module, comprising a 35 mm soft-dome tweeter and a 55 x 10 mm HF planar element; SMC Gen-2 technology for ultra-low distortion; custom-made in-house drivers, and Clarity Cone™ paper and wood fibre cone structure bass/mid-range drivers.
DALI KORE TECHNOLOGIES
The EPIKORE series utilises DALI’s second-generation Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC Gen-2™) magnet material — as well as the EVO-K™ variant of DALI’s Hybrid Tweeter Module borrowed directly from the DALI KORE.
When using conventional magnets in a speaker design, it is not unusual to experience a phenomenon known as hysteresis. This introduces an unintended resistance to the voice-coil, which can lead to unwanted distortion in the audio signal. Designed to significantly reduce hysteresis, SMC Gen-2™ is the next generation of DALI’s patented SMC magnet material technology.
Introduced in their flagship DALI KORE loudspeaker, SMC Gen-2™ is incorporated into the EPIKORE Series’ bass and midrange drivers, as well as in the crossover inductor cores, offering significantly enhanced characteristics over the first-generation SMC. In addition, the EPIKORE Series of loudspeakers all feature DALI’s signature Clarity Cone™ paper and wood fibre cone structure.
