MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Is it possible to develop, design and build a complete series of high
quality speakers that leaves the impression of at least twice the
price? Some would call this mission impossible. Exactly this attitude
was catalyst for the engineers at DALI when they began developing
a brand new series of loudspeakers. By using the experience and
knowledge gained through more than 20 years of developing highend loudspeakers they reached their goal.
DALI Denmark – makers of the world's finest loudspeaker – introduces Concept, a complete series of quality loudspeakers. The Concept series is characterised by the unique combination of true DALI
virtues and cost effective production methods which make the well
renowned DALI loudspeakers available at affordable prices.
GENUINE DALI®
As it is custom by DALI, the Concept series is a complete line consisting of both shelf/wall hanging speakers, floor-standing speakers,
center speaker and a powerful subwoofer.
The designers at DALI have paid great attention to the details - and
the visual impression of the Concept speakers leaves no doubt, that
the very best of Danish design traditions has had great influence on
this series. Just like the many hours in the listening room and the
DALI sound lab adjusting and fine tuning crossover networks and
construction turned out to be well spent.
UNSURPASSED
The first model in the Concept series released to the world market
was Concept 2 – a book shelf speaker, compact and beautifully designed to match any contemporary home. As always, the Hi-Fi press
was eager to test the new DALI speaker. The reviews proved that the
"Mission Impossible" turned out to be a "Mission Possible". Allow
us to quote the German magazine "STEREO" from their test of DALI
Concept 2: "A unit of measurement for transparancy and control",
"The speaker sparkled from musicality, it even mastered the difficult bass frequencies supremely without any buzz or growl" and
"An obviously highly emotional and diverse loudspeaker – a test
winner you do not come across every day." Measured on a price/
benefit scale, the Concept 2 was pronounced "UNSURPASSED".
IN ADMIRATION OF MUSIC
Whether you desire the very compact Concept 1 or the large and
floor-standing Concept 10 – maybe in a surround system with Concept Center and Concept SUB, you will achieve the sensation of well
reproduced sound, the clarity of an open and well defined perspective and the feeling of "being there". Let the music and sound reproduced by DALI Concept loudspeakers bring you to the point where
the composer of the music or the director of the movie wanted you
to be - and enjoy. This is what DALI defines as "In Admiration of
Music".
NOT BY COINCIDENCE
Exceptional performance and the unmistakeable sensation of "fine
craftmanship" do not come by coincidence. At DALI every task is
performed with a creed for "Quality in every aspect".
The DALI Concept series is no exception. The design philosophy behind the Concept speakers is very simple, yet convincing: Make it
look as fine as it sounds and make it a perfect match for any type
of contemporary interior all over the world. We dare say that our
designers succeeded.
The engineers at DALI have yet again proved their ability to develop
unique solutions. Take a look at the crossover networks, where all
components are carefully chosen, the high quality gold plated terminals or the carefully manufactured drive-units with well-proportioned
magnetsystems and see, that there is genuine hardware behind the
pure and powerful sound.
We are confident that you will be as proud of your new DALI Concept
speakers as we are.

Concept 1
Concept 1
Concept 8
This incredibly compact and yet powerful loudspeaker is made
for those who need full scale sound in smaller rooms. Fits equally
perfect into the living room, the young home or the office where
quality is a matter of importance. Place it on a book shelf, hang
it on the wall or put it on a speaker stand. No matter where - you
will be amazed when you start listening.
Consider DALI Concept 1 as rear speaker in a 5.1 surround setup
or side speaker in a 7.1 system. Concept 1 is a 2-way bass reflex
system, magnetically shielded and with gold plated terminals and
integrated wall mount bracket.
Concept 2
Concept 6
Concept 6 brings the Concept series to the floor – literally
speaking. This well-designed "small" floor-stander is a classic
2-way bass reflex system suitable as stereo speakers or front
speakers in surround systems. Enjoy the fine details like gold
plated terminals and adjustable spikes fitting in the built-in
base.
The controlled dispersion textile dome tweeter ensures the
broad stereo perspective and the pulp light weight paper cone
woofer brings you the bass in a very convincing, controlled and
fast manner.
The front baffle is so beautifully designed and crafted that you
might choose to remove the front grill?

Concept 2
This book shelf loudspeaker made its very own statement
even before it was officially introduced on the world market: The
German magazine “AUDIO” quite simply elected the DALI Concept 2 as “Compact Speaker of the Year”.
It is a 2-way system with a 6.5" woofer/midrange unit with a
generously proportioned 80 mm double magnet system controlling the 1" voice coil and a 1" soft dome tweeter with 70 mm
ferrite magnet and ferrofluid cooling. Both drivers are controlled
by a high quality crossover network.
The beautifully designed enclosure is made by 16 mm MDF – the
front baffle milled from 18 mm massive MDF. At the rear you will
find gold-plated terminals that accept even large-diameter cables
like the DALI Silver Wave.

Concept 6
Concept 8
Looking for the perfect loudspeaker for large scale stereo or
surround systems? Concept 8 is the right choice. A heavy duty
3-way system consisting of two 8" woofers, a 5" midrange
driver and a 1" controlled dispersion textile dome tweeter, all
in a sturdy enclosure with built-in base for the accompanying
adjustable spikes.
Concept 8 is a 6 Ohm speaker well suited for amplifiers between 40 and 160 W. All the way from 41 to 25000 Hz the
Concept 8 will reproduce every detail and every sense of the
music – bringing you a bass, which needs to be felt as well as
heard.
We are talking a maximum SPL of 112 dB and a sensitivity of
90 dB. No matter if you desire the sensation of a good movie
at your own home cinema or the joy of your favourite music
– these loudspeakers will do the job for you!

Concept 10
Concept 10
Big, bold and beautifull! This is the very top of the Concept
series. The Concept 10 is a full-range 3-way, floor-standing
speaker equally suited for the subtle reproduction of classical music with realistic dynamics as well as hard rock at
engaging sound pressure levels.
Concept 10 is a 6 Ohm speaker well suited for amplifiers
between 50 and 200 W. All the way from 35 to 25000
Hz the Concept 10 will reproduce music or the sound from
your movies. A maximum SPL of 114 dB speaks for itself
- literally.
Concept Center
Concept Center
The centre speaker in a surround system has a huge impact
on the over-all experience. Clarity in voice and precision
in every detail makes the difference – and having listened
to Concept Center you will know the difference. The two
5" woofers and the 1" controlled dispersion textile dome
tweeter work in a bass reflex system. Full magnetically
shielding ensures use directly on top or below the TV.
Remove the front grill and you will see, what your ears have
already told you: This is power, dynamics and clarity.
The Concept Center design brings you the perfect match
regardless of the design of your TV. Leave the front grill
on for the "classic" TV or remove it for the "high-tec"
designed TV.
Concept SUB
Taking care of the very low frequencies - providing the sensation
of "being there". Regardless of the front and rear speakers in
your surround system, the Concept SUB is a must to actually feel
the slamming of a door, the roar of a lion or the drum solo of your
favorite band.
12" unit, 160 W RMS and a maximum SPL of 110 dB are data that
are more felt than heard.
