Dali Sonik 9 Floorstanding Speakers
Stylish design from Denmark
The DALI SONIK 9 is the flagship of the Sonik Series. It is a 2.5 + 0.5-way floorstanding speaker designed for large rooms. It features a hybrid tweeter module and triple 7-inch Clarity Cone woofers, delivering a frequency response of 34 Hz - 30,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 111 dB
Signature Hybrid Tweeter: DALI's signature tweeter module combines a 29 mm soft dome tweeter with a 17 × 45 mm planar (ribbon) magnetic tweeter. This provides crystal-clear, airy highs and an expansive, wide-dispersion soundstage that fills the entire room
Triple 7-Inch Clarity Cone™ Woofers: The speaker utilizes three 7-inch bass/midrange drivers constructed from a specialized paper and wood-fibre diaphragm. This structure ensures stiffness and resonance control for natural, uncolored vocals and a punchy, deep bass
Patented SMC™ Technology: Inspired by DALI's ultra-high-end KORE speakers, the SONIK 9 uses DALI’s proprietary Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) magnet system in its motors. This dramatically reduces distortion (specifically third-order harmonic distortion), resulting in cleaner, distortion-free audio even at high volumes
Versatile 3.5-Way Power: Designed as a true all-rounder, the SONIK 9 handles between 50 to 300 watts of power. Its tuning allows it to shine in high-end stereo Hi-Fi setups as well as front channels for immersive home cinema systems
Modern Cabinetry: The taller, slender cabinet is constructed from CNC-machined MDF with internal bracing to eliminate unwanted vibrations and internal resonance, ensuring dynamic accuracy.
Reviews
HiFi News rates the Dali Sonik 9 an Oustanding Product
"impressive low-end performance, delivering bass with an extension not always expected at this price – one is reminded of that old ‘other beers cannot reach’ Heineken advert. It sounds confident and speedy in the low octaves too, giving rise to a sense of effortless music making. The rich, warmish balance of its bass then gives way to a leaner midrange and clear, unsweetened treble"
"the result is a dynamic-sounding speaker that is thrilling to listen to. Also serving its crowd-pleasing status is the ‘wide dispersion’ characteristic, sounding wide, deep and unconstrained"
