DALI ALTECO C-1

DALI ALTECO C-1 Multi-purpose Speaker

Is truly a multi-purpose speaker. The perfect fit for adding height information to a surround setup or taking the role as an out-of-the-way stereo speaker. By designing the crossover for stereo use and by keeping a strict focus on DALI sound design principles, we have created a speaker that delivers believable height information from Atmos, DTS-X and Auro-3D movies.

Dual Sound Mode

The unique angular design combined with the dual sound mode enables this speaker to be used in a multitude of different scenarios. Choose ‘UP’ on the front baffle switch to beam the sound waves either straight out for a soft downwards angle, or by selecting ‘DOWN’, beaming the sound almost straight down for close position listening.

Up-Firing

The angular design of this speaker makes it perfect for up-firing use. Combined with a surround receiver that has the ability to render height information (Dolby Atmos, DTS-X or Auro-3D), placing it on top of the front speakers, and even on top of the rear speakers will offer an excellent ceiling reflected rendering of height information in compatible movies and concerts.

Wood Fibre Cones

Our low-loss drivers uses a mix of low-mass paper cones with wood fibre reinforcement. The embedded wood fibres give the surface an uneven structure, which dramatically minimizes the resonance of the surface. This creates the best possible reproduction of every detail in the audio signal.

Soft Dome Tweeter

The dome tweeter offers best-in-class resolution with an extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low coloration. A clear heritage from our high-end series. The tweeter is based on an ultra-lightweight weaved fabric, which weighs less than half of the market standard (0.056 mg/mm2).

A MULTIPURPOSE SPEAKER

Adding height information to your surround setup

The ALTECO C-1 is a true multipurpose speaker when it comes to design and function. Whether you’re adding height information to a surround setup, or looking for a pair of stereo speakers to fit discreetly into your home, the ALTECO C-1 is an attractive, flexible solution.

DALI DRIVERS

Featuring DALI’s trademark cones made from wood fibre

Built around a 4½» low-loss wood fibre woofer and 21 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter, the ALTECO C-1 brings great DALI sound to your listening room in a unique design. Our signature wood fibre cone is crafted from a mix of fine-grain paper and wood fibre pulp, creating an extremely rigid and lightweight membrane, while the uneven structure helps minimise unwanted surface resonances.

FLEXIBLE POSITIONING

Up or down-firing modes give you options

The angled front and dual sound modes give you flexibility when it comes to positioning the ALTECO C-1 around a room. Add height information to any surround setup by placing it on top of the front or rear speakers. It can also take the place of traditional front speakers placed high on the wall or horizontally on a sidewall. And with the flick of a switch, the ALTECO C-1 turns into a rear or surround speaker when positioned on the wall close to the listening position.

LOW LOSS COMPONENTS

Realistic audio experience

The function of any loudspeaker is to convert the electrical signal from an amplifier into a realistic audio experience for the listener, while minimising losses in the signal. Any distortion or colouration of the original signal caused by a speaker’s drivers or enclosure can ruin the experience. By using only DALI designed, custom built drivers and crossovers made from quality components, the ALTECO C-1 achieves a signal loss close to zero.
