DALI OBERON 3 Bookshelf Loudspeaker
Product Gallery
Product Overview
DALI OBERON 3 is the larger of two bookshelf loudspeakers in the entry-level OBERON series, the most affordable option for DALI's patented SMC technology.
The SMC technology found in the woofer's magnet reduces non-linear magnetic distortion. Combined with wide-dispersion wood fiber discs, it gives these affordable loudspeakers more control over the lower frequencies. The new, oversized soft tweeters further deliver a more musical reproduction that is rarely found in entry-level speakers.
Designed for a younger target audience, the OBERON series sports a minimalist design that integrates easily into any modern room. The drivers and crossovers are also designed for wide dispersion, allows the speakers to perform in suboptimal room conditions.
Other models in the OBERON series include a smaller bookshelf speaker, OBERON 1, three floorstanders, OBERON 5, OBERON 7, and OBERON 9, one center channel, OBERON VOKAL, and a wall-mount speaker, OBERON ON-WALL.

Reviewer score 71%Dali Oberon 3 speakers have a CNC machined MDF board cabinet. Available in a range of four vinyl finishes – light oak, dark walnut, white and black ash. Same 29mm soft dome tweeter appears across the range, it's a lightweight design, less than half the weight of most rivals. At 35cm tall, these cabinets are bigger than average, meaning you get a sound capable of deep bass. They are happy at loud volume and deliver an expansive sound.
