DALI EPICON 2

The extremely noble shelf speaker EPICON 2 impresses with a fantastic sound quality. Do not be fooled by the size of the speaker, even if it is the smallest in the EPICON family. Ideally, the EPICON 2 should perform on the custom stand available as an accessory, then the speaker offers an amazingly spatial and precise three-dimensional sound image that meets even the highest demands of demanding audiophile music listeners.

Profi Opinion

"The Epicon is truly an icon among high-quality compact loudspeakers. Despite the agile sound, it radiates calmness and clarity. I am always fascinated by the profound bass reproduction and enormous level stability. A speaker for fun with music."

Description
Additional information

The extremely noble shelf speaker EPICON 2 impresses with a fantastic sound quality. Do not be fooled by the size of the speaker even if it is the smallest in the EPICON family. Ideally, the EPICON 2 should play on the custom stand, which is available as an accessory, then the speaker offers an amazingly spatial and precise three-dimensional sound image that meets even the highest demands of demanding audiophile music listeners. The two-way speaker uses a 165 mm bass-midrange driver and a fabric dome tweeter. In doing so, the technological innovations of the larger EPICON models contribute to the EPICON 2’s ability to offer a loudspeaker that sounds far better than its compact dimensions would suggest. The EPICON 2 perfectly demonstrates the essence of this new series: minimal loss in signal reproduction… or to put it bluntly: transparency and richness of detail on a level never reached before! This speaker has an extremely linear and coherent frequency response and is perfect for operation in small to medium-sized rooms. The woofer’s transmission range tapers off smoothly towards the bottom, and the speaker still reproduces very low frequencies. In most constellations, the EPICON 2 should therefore sound like a significantly larger box. Within its transmission range, the EPICON 2 achieves the same reproduction quality as its larger sisters EPICON 6 and 8, and is the new compact loudspeaker for purists with the highest sound demands.

tweeter

The EPICON 2 has a tweeter with a 29 mm, particularly lightweight fabric dome. With a sturdy die-cast aluminum base plate and its own cabinet, it is very well protected against any interference emanating from the cabinet.

Thanks to an ultra-thin magnetic fluid for cooling, the dome has a very high saturation limit, which significantly increases the power handling capacity. At the same time – especially at very high sound pressures – the voice coil movement is excellently controlled. The dome material itself is very light and so thin that the coating contributes a great deal to the structural rigidity of the diaphragm.

DEEP THOUGHTS

A 165 mm bass-midrange driver provides a profound bass foundation for the EPICON 2. It goes to work so powerfully that a separate subwoofer is not necessary even in small to medium-sized rooms.

The latest generation of wood fiber membranes features a new impregnation with a special coating applied after assembly. Wood fibers stiffen the cone membranes, which are made of very light cellulose. This structural stiffening has excellent features in every respect and also curbs the so-called breaking up of the diaphragms, which causes disturbing partial vibrations.

In order to be able to carry out this process – as well as the entire manufacturing process in general – within very tight tolerances, the introduction of in-house production of loudspeaker chassis was an important step. The woofers of the DALI EPICON series were not only developed in the Danish DALI headquarters, but are also manufactured there!

Linear Drive Magnetic System

One of the technological highlights of the EPICON series is the Linear Drive magnet system. It is used in all woofers and midrange drivers and is based on the powdered magnetic material SMC (“Soft Magnetic Compound”). The use of SMC brings many advantages, but above all it significantly reduces the distortion in the solenoid drive caused by mechanical losses. SMC’s unique ability to combine high magnetic conductivity with very low electrical conductivity (1/10,000 of iron) enabled the development of an excellent loudspeaker drive without the drawbacks previously faced. The distortions and thus the colorations in the sound reproduction could be significantly reduced.

How SMC can be used to optimize the features a loudspeaker in terms of hysteresis, current linearity and voice coil inductance is explained in detail in the technical information on the EPICON series, the white paper. You can download the whitepaper further down this page in the download section.
