What the DALI Epikore 3 Does The typical compact speaker usually gives the user a choice, you can either have high sound quality or compact physical dimensions. But with the new DALI Epikore 3, all those restrictions are out of the door. In fact, it takes on the technology of DALI’s acclaimed EPICON and KORE lines and incorporates that into a compact speaker so that the user enjoys all the qualities of the much larger floor-standing speakers in a more compact dimension. As this speaker uses its 3-way design with powerful state-of-the-art components that produce a dramatic sound stage, yet at the same time provides room-filling performance with good bass support for bigger rooms, no matter what level of love of excellent audio the listener has. Epikore 3 promises every moment of every listening experience.
The Legacy of DALI’s Loudspeaker Craftsmanship
DALI’s 40-Year History in Sound Engineering
DALI, Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, has been at the forefront of innovation in speakers for more than four decades. Each series has advanced DALI in design, materials, and acoustics in the pursuit of producing the best sound clarity, dynamic range, and listening experience. For instance, the EPICON series represented the pinnacle of high fidelity with little distortion. Again, the KORE series was at the top with regards to richness and authenticity in sound reproduction. It is seen that all the legacy attributes carry forward into the latest in DALI’s technology and design principles making DALI a household name.
What makes Epikore 3 stand out?
Made with the same care and attention to detail as DALI’s flagship speakers, the Epikore 3 embodies the latest technologies from the EPICON and KORE series, merged into one compact design. Handcrafted in Denmark by expert engineers and artisans who strive for the impossible, it aims to push the boundaries of what a stand-mount speaker can achieve. Epikore 3 is selecting the very best product of sound-excellence engineering along with the piece of the richest tradition.
Evolution through KORE Technology
The heart of DALI’s sound evolution
DALI’s KORE series gave birth to various proprietary technologies that improve the clearness of sound with much reduced distortion, so audio enthusiasts everywhere have favored them. Epikore 3 is the same innovation that Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC™) provided; this technology reduces noise and interference in unwanted sound waves. What’s more is that the KORE technology boasts materials that maintain the structure intact even if at very loud sound, therefore making Epikore 3 deliver powerful sound that the common speakers make through distorted noises.
Seamlessly integrates new and classic features
Epikore 3 harmonizes what the classic DALI speakers sound like with the modern, latest advancements. Here’s an example: Epikon series was the forerunner of the Hybrid Tweeter design, while it has been fine-tuned further into the KORE range with a smoother and far more accurate high-frequency sound reproduction. This way, what listeners hear is absolutely realistic, precise, powerful-a sound that is literally felt.
Crystal-Clear Highs: The DALI EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter
Evolution of the Hybrid Tweeter
A hallmark of the Epikore 3 is the DALI EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter. A module so highly specialized for high frequency sounds it could give any high frequency lovers ears a thrill with the amazing crystal clear sounds captured and processed by it. These consist of a 35mm soft-dome tweeter, along with an wide-dispersion planar element, driven using neodymium magnets and provide for very smooth and finely detailed highs. This design makes Epikore 3 enable the accurate reproduction of tiny details from a cymbal to the sound made by a piano in its tinkling.
Greater Dispersion
Wide dispersion is critical for a balanced sound in the room, and ideally, listeners do not need to be right in front of the speaker to enjoy the full music. Epikore 3’s EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter ensures wide dispersion and provides everyone in the room with an immersive experience of listening to that sound greatly encompassing as every time it becomes unique and fascinating.
New 7-Inch Bass/Midrange Driver with SMC Gen-2
Power and precision in the new 7-inch bass/midrange driver
The 7-inch bass/midrange driver carries DALI’s SMC technology Gen-2. The drive incorporates a massive, design-specific magnet, coupled to SMC, to cut the electromagnetic “bounce-back”, which is an area with much distortion to mid and bass notes. In plain language, this means that regardless of the application, as if it is that deepened bass line or well-balanced vocal track, the listener can expect this Epikore 3 to portray the clarity and provide each sound with intent and power.
Low Distortion and Smooth Response
The SMC™ Gen-2 technology not only makes the Epikore 3 sound clearer but also smoother, in terms of overall response. This means that, no matter the genre-from deep electronic bass to the warm, rich midrange of a vocal ballad-the Epikore 3 is reliable to meet the dynamic demands of it. Since distortion is kept low, the listener hears the music just as the artist wanted, with no artificial emphasis on any one part of the frequency range.
Low-Loss Clarity Cone™ Technology
Advanced Material for Superior Audio
The Clarity ConeTM of the Epikore 3 is a special energy loss reducing device through acoustic sound reproduction. This appliance applies lighter but stronger materials for the production of cone so that the energy of any delivered sound is brought as low as possible just as the same happens from any natural source. The Paper and wood fiber material creates a Clarity Cone which damps down the naturally caused unwanted resonances providing a very organic and very natural sound.
What Low-Loss Means to the Ear
Low-loss technology would allow more of the energy in the sound to go straight to the listener, not into the materials used. In simpler words, that means low-loss technology lets the music reach your ears with less noise interference and more clarity. That’s how the Epikore 3 will help bring you a live-like experience.
Effortless Bass with Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Port
Achieving the Right Bass Sound
Compact speakers tend to sometimes fail at great bass response, and that’s precisely what the continuous-flare bass reflex port has resolved in the Epikore 3. Its flared shape increases the maximum airflow while preventing as much noise as possible, meaning you are able to both hear the bass, as well as feel the definition with rare depth in the case of a stand-mount speaker.
Removing Turbulence for Cleaner Bass
Traditional bass reflex ports create unwanted air turbulence that produces a “chuffing” sound. A continuous-flare port from DALI removes the interference with the fully resonant bass frequencies. The design lets the bass “breathe” to produce a cleaner, full sound that is perfect for movie soundtracks, symphonic music, and bass-heavy genres such as electronic and rock.
The Precision of High-End Cabinet Materials
Far From A Simple Speaker Box
Cabinets are where most high-quality sound comes from, and in the Epikore 3, solid inert materials are used for the cabinet to prevent all forms of vibration and associated resonances. The outcome is that the cabinet, as such, doesn’t “color” the sound in any way and drivers are free to do what they are designed to, with no interference. The Epikore 3 cabinet is a masterwork of wood veneer, curved edges, and true commitment to both integrity of sound and beauty.
How Cabinet Design Affects Sound Quality
High-end cabinet materials help to contain and direct sound energy, thus minimizing the need for sound correction. For example, the smooth curved edges of the Epikore 3 minimize diffraction, which can distort the sound by scattering high-frequency waves. This precision engineering allows the Epikore 3 to produce pure, focused sound that enhances the overall listening experience.
Elegance in Design
Aesthetic Choices for the Modern Home
The Epikore 3 will complement any home décor. This speaker has high-gloss finishes and is, in a sense, as much a piece of art as a listening tool. Its smooth lines and reflective surfaces catch the eye and make it a lovely addition to both modern and more traditional settings.
Form Meets Function
The Epikore 3 is not exactly an aesthetics exercise. It is an aesthetic form calculated in the sound engineering of DALI. From exterior work with internal componentry for minimal disruption to internal components, creating a perfect design without an ounce of lost performance in return, here is why a quality stand matters.
The EPIKORE Stand: A Solid Foundation
Why the Right Stand Matters
The EPIKORE Stand is more than just a support; it is part of the performance of the Epikore 3. Made from extruded aluminum, the stand provides a stable, vibration-free foundation that enhances sound quality. The internal cable routing and optional sand-filling capability further improve its stability and acoustic performance, adding another layer of polish to the setup.
Added Benefits for Better Sound
With its floor spikes built in, the EPIKORE Stand has reduced any resonance between the speaker and floor. It allows the Epikore 3 to reach full capacity while providing a listening experience that is refined to perfection.
