Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Headroom notes

86 dB at 2.83 V / 1 m into 6 ohms — about 84.8 dB on a true one-watt basis, which makes this one of the quietest speakers here. DALI also prints a maximum SPL of 106 dB at 1 m, so the usable window between "audible" and "compressing" is narrow for a room of any size.

Amplification Warning

DALI publishes no minimum impedance for the Oberon series — only the 6-ohm nominal. The entry therefore carries no dip figure rather than a guessed one.
