“…Change your leaves, keep intact your roots.”

This quote by Victor Hugo perfectly captures the essence of the brand new DALI
ZENSOR series.
In the course of nearly three decades, DALI has developed, designed, and
produced high standard loudspeakers for more than a million homes across the
world. We only succeeded in doing this by always being curious, moving ahead –
and yet sticking to our core values and roots.

Victor Hugo was certainly on to something!

The ZENSOR series is living proof of this. A genuinely affordable hi-fi loudspeaker
unmistakably based upon the heritage of DALI’s High End series. And packed with
more in-house technology, new ideas, and its very own visual DALI identity.

Consisting of five models, the ZENSOR range covers every need - from a compact
stereo configuration to an ambitious multi-channel set up. The smallest model
includes an integrated wall bracket for easy mounting, and both the floor-standing
models and the subwoofer are elevated from the floor on aluminium bases to
refine acoustics and stability.

Last, but not least, their appearance is a real eye pleaser. Featuring aluminium
style details, integrated in the high gloss lacquered front baffle as a natural
extension of the sleek cabinet, the ZENSORS's stylish form is contemporary, yet
timeless and stylish. A design that fits well into any home, whichever set up
solution you prefer to enjoy your favourite music or movie from.

With core DALI values present in every single detail and aspect, The ZENSOR
series is rooted in our highly respected sound principles. Yet, never settles in its
quest to improve performance and appearance. In short: DALI ZENSOR is the new,
fresh leaf on the tree.

Enjoy!

DALI ZENSOR 7

Standing 97.8 cm tall, the flagship model of the series is distinctive
and handsome in its contemporary high-gloss lacquered finish. If
you crave the full blown sonic experience in a mid to large sized
room, this is the way to go!

Being the Magnus Opus of the series, only ZENSOR 7 is equipped
with

2x7” woofers. The larger cone area on all ZENSOR’s compared to

market

standards ensures a highly effortless and authentic reproduction
of musical dynamics. Add to this a 25 mm dome tweeter where the
mass of the dome material has been reduced significantly to offer the
utmost accuracy in the reproduction of high frequencies.

Every detail has been handled with care. The stylish, rounded
edges reduce

diffraction to minimize distortion; solid aluminium
style features compliment the front baffle; an aluminium base
raises the speaker from the floor; and a detachable front grille is
included for protection and to offer visual alternative.

Our vision is not to make another traditional loudspeaker,

but instead
to offer a unique and fully satisfying experience based upon our roots
and core values. Thus ZENSOR 7 is a truly potent loudspeaker, capable
of reproducing the finest details from a stereo signal – by itself or as
forceful front speaker in a surround set up.

Tweeter | With a clear heritage from our high end series, the lightweight dome
tweeter offers best in class resolution. It features timing due to the position of
the tweeter, minimised compression and increased power handling, thanks to the
vented voice coil former. The damping material under the dome minimises
reflections from the pole piece.

Wood Fibre Cones | Both the 51/4” and the 7” ZENSOR woofers feature

4-layer voice coils for maximum control of the wood fibre cone. The low loss
construction is ensured by a rigid metal basket and meticulously optimised
cone. The result is bass authority, well-controlled reproduction of micro-detail
and great transient capabilities.
