About the DALI Menuet SE - Wild Walnut Bookshelf Speakers

Product Description

The special edition DALI MENUET SE is created as a tribute to high-performance, compact stereo speakers.

Built on the legacy of the popular MENTOR MENUET and DALI MENUET, the DALI MENUET SE adds a new unique look as well as great improvements of the components, giving this special sibling a unique personality.

Using our knowledge and experience, we have improved the sound quality in the DALI MENUET SE and created a fantastic new eye-catching finish, Wild Walnut, which is made from a variety of natural walnut wood. The use of this stunning veneer means that every single pair of SE speakers will be unique in appearance. The cabinets are carefully matched and no two pairs will look the same.

Listen to these brilliant loudspeakers and hear plenty of clean, undistorted bass, open and dynamic midrange and detailed/crisp highs.

The DALI designed drivers, sturdy binding posts and high quality crossover is the key to achieving extraordinary performance from such a compact loudspeaker.

PLACEMENT

For optimum performance, the DALI MENUET SE should be positioned in a bookshelf or mounted on the wall using the optional DALI wall bracket.

With two threaded inserts on the rear of the cabinet, it is prepared for easy installation of the DALI wall bracket without any hassle. The bracket is designed to ensure optimal clearance between the wall and the bass reflex port.

The neat and clean design makes it very easy to place the tiny DALI MENUET SE anywhere around the house. Alternatively, combine them with other speakers in the acclaimed RUBICON series for a high-performance stereo set-up or home cinema system.

Either way, you’re in for an experience.

DRIVERS

The 4.5” wood fiber woofer is airflow optimized to achieve the best possible coupling between the wood fiber cone and the real wood veneer cabinet. Even the woofer cut-out in the cabinet is made larger than normal to optimise openness and dynamic response. On top, the DALI MENUET SE woofer uses a 'voice coil former' made out of fiberglass, which reduces mechanical loss in the voice coil and minimises distortion.

The over-sized 28 mm soft dome tweeter is able to start and stop with great speed and precision due to the very low mass of the dome assembly and a powerful motor system. The dome is approximately 30% lighter than comparable standard domes and the magnet in the motor system is made of the strongest neodymium material available.

MINIMISED DISTORTION

The 4.5 inch DALI MENUET SE woofer uses a 'voice coil former' made out of fiberglass. This reduces mechanical loss in the voice coil and minimises distortion.

PREMIUM CROSSOVER

The crossover has been substantially upgraded with carefully selected premium grade MundorfTM capacitors - a result of vigorous listening tests. The upgraded board material is chosen due to its extra high electrical insulation, which minimises electrical interference.

UNIQUE APPEARENCE

The DALI MENUET SE comes in a new eye-catching finish, Wild Walnut veneer. Made from a variety of natural wood. Every pair is carefully matched and will be unique in appearance. No two pairs will look the same.

HIGH-END TERMINALS

The sturdy gold-plated terminals originates from the high-end EPICON series. Refined over the years, they ensure that the DALI MENUET SE always has the best possible connection regardless of speaker cable choice.

Can I home demonstrate products?

In most cases yes. Simply contact us with your requirements and if it's on the shop floor - we can arrange a home demonstration.
