Description

The DALI SONIK 3 is a high-performance bookshelf speaker designed to deliver a larger, more authoritative sound while retaining the flexibility and convenience of a compact stand-mount design.

Ideal for stereo Hi-Fi, streaming systems and home cinema, the SONIK 3 is an excellent choice where you want greater scale and bass performance without moving to a full-size floorstanding loudspeaker.

At the heart of the SONIK 3 is a 7-inch SMC™ Clarity Cone™ low/mid-frequency driver, partnered with a 29 mm low-loss soft-dome tweeter. This two-way configuration provides excellent clarity and a wide frequency range extending from 47 Hz to 26 kHz.

With a sensitivity of 87 dB, nominal impedance of 6 ohms and recommended amplifier power of 25–150 watts, the SONIK 3 can be partnered with a wide variety of quality integrated, streaming and AV amplifiers.

Measuring 350 × 200 × 306 mm (H × W × D) and weighing approximately 6.5 kg per speaker, the SONIK 3 remains compact enough for a wide variety of rooms. It can be positioned on dedicated speaker stands, suitable furniture or shelving, making it ideal for living rooms, dedicated listening rooms and premium media spaces.

For two-channel listening, the SONIK 3 can form the heart of a high-quality compact Hi-Fi system. It can also be incorporated into a multichannel home cinema installation alongside other speakers from the DALI SONIK range, creating a tonally matched system throughout the room.

At Riverside HiFi, we can help match the DALI SONIK 3 with the appropriate amplifier, streamer, AV receiver, speaker stands, subwoofer and cabling. We can also provide complete home cinema system design and professional installation.

Supplied as a pair.

UNCOLOURED, REALISTIC VOCALS

Clarity Cone™ Technology paper and wood fibre cones

Inspired by the DALI KORE technology, SONIK bass and midrange drivers feature Clarity Cone™ paper and wood fibre cones lightweight rigidity and superior resonance control. The Clarity Cone™ ensures a coherent and natural handover from driver to driver. The result is a more realistic, uncoloured upper midrange and seamless transition to the tweeter.

LOW DISTORTION, MORE DETAILS

SMC™ Essential Magnet System

The SONIK series uses our patented SMC™ magnet material to reduce distortion and improve linearity. A ferrite ring surrounds a hybrid iron-SMC™ pole piece, placing SMC™ directly in the voice coil’s working zone. This minimises hysteresis and eddy currents, delivering cleaner, more detailed and relaxed midrange performance.
