DALI EPIKORE 11 is a 4 ½-way tower loudspeaker that sets a new benchmark in low-distortion loudspeaker design. The curved, real wood varnished enclosure houses four powerful 8" woofers, a 6 ½" midrange driver with high dynamics - all using DALI's 2nd Generation Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) technology - and the EVO-K hybrid tweeter module.
It features SMC Gen-2 technology, the second generation of DALI's innovation. Ordinary magnets fall prey to hysteresis, which causes unwanted disturbances in the audio signal. DALI's patented Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) magnets drastically reduce this phenomenon. Furthermore, the second generation of SMC technology in EPIKORE brings flux modulation disturbances and eddy currents in the magnetic system to marginal levels, achieving a spectacular sound.
EPIKORE 11 features DALI cone technology, made of paper and wood fibre, which reduces weight and adds surface roughness. The latter prevents resonances, improving the driver's specifications. With fibre cone technology, EPIKORE 11 achieves the finest and most dynamic musical details.
Initially developed for DALI KORE, the EVO-K hybrid tweeter combines a large 35mm soft dome DALI-developed tweeter with the enhanced version of the DALI ultra-thin ribbon tweeter element. Together with the powerful neodymium magnet motor system, they deliver a surprisingly smooth and effortless reproduction of high frequencies at any volume.
The newly designed EPIKORE midrange driver is six and a half inches in size and achieves spectacular reproduction. Meanwhile, the four 8-inch woofers feature exceptionally wide and powerful magnetic systems with DALI SMC Gen-2 technology.
Featured in DALI KORE for the first time, the SMC Crossover drivers included in EPIKORE 11 are the first driver cores with SMC Gen-2. The SMC Gen-2 properties also achieve 12 decibels less distortion than inductor cores with iron powder.
Designed and manufactured in-house by DALI, EPIKORE 11 is a minimalist, elegant and stylish example of classic Danish furniture. With adjustable spikes, ensuring very stable contact with the floor, and available in three exclusive High-Gloss finishes - Black, Maroon and Walnut - the new EPIKORE 11 sounds as spectacular as it looks.
