DALI SUB E-12 F

INTRODUCTION

Developing a DALI subwoofer involves the same
meticulous attention to detail as you will find in
the development of a DALI speaker. Our R&D
team consistently strive to generate the most
natural, yet entertaining, sound – at any price
point. That goes for the DALI SUB E-12 F as well.

Today a subwoofer is considered a natural part
of any multi-channel sound system, and in many
stereo systems as well. With the development of

the SUB E-12 F DALI wanted to create a true
versatile product, able to competently match
speakers from entry- to mid-level.

This whitepaper takes you ‘behind the scenes’
of the DALI SUB E-12 F, highlighting some of the
details which – when joined together – ensure
a true DALI experience.

BACKGROUND

Unlike many subwoofers in the market the DALI
SUB E-12 F has been engineered to perform
equally well on both music and movies. It is
important to us that a subwoofer is capable of
rendering a performance true to the input signal.
Therefore a DALI subwoofer is everything but a
‘boombox’.

Over the years DALI’s engineers have developed
a set of sound design principles. Today these
are applied in the creation of basically any DALI
speaker. Naturally our subwoofers must be
able to enter into any setup without sacrificing
the purpose of providing wide dispersion, time
coherent and low-loss performance.
