BEST PRODUCT – High-End Audio 2012-2013
The absolute pinnacle of the EPICON series, the EPICON 8 delivers
dramatically rich and detailed sound that will blow your mind and captivate
your senses. The loudspeaker is the result of a passionate, tireless quest
to reach perfection.
Prepare yourself for musical indulgence like never before – and for a beauti-
fully statuesque design your guests will envy.
Drivers
In the EPICON 8, two 8” woofers are complemented by a 6 ½“ mid-range
driver to peel away the layers of a recording and delicately separate vocals
and instruments. The groundbreaking Linear Drive Magnet System of the
woofers is complemented by our hybrid ribbon/soft dome tweeter module.
This all translates into the largest, most room-lling sound of the EPICON
family. Effectively this is a ‘3 + ½-way’ construction.
Multi-layered cabinets
Each side of the EPICON 8 is constructed from 6 individual layers of MDF,
all glued together. In the EPICON 8 these are anchored to a 63 mm multi-
layer MDF backbone of the cabinet, which is 10 mm thicker than the
backbone of the EPICON 2 and EPICON 6 to maintain control. CNC milling
process is applied for making the recess and holes for the bass ports and
terminals in the backbone.
With a thickness of 33 mm the duallayer front bafe ensures that energy
from the drivers is radiated as acoustic energy, and not as vibrations in the
cabinet. The curved shape of the front bafe is also a contributing factor in
ensuring a stable acoustic platform.
Internally the cabinet for the EPICON 8 is divided in two identical sized
chambers for the woofers and one extra chamber for the midrange. The
woofer chambers are allowing tuning of the cabinet to be done identically
yet completely independently for each of the two woofers. The midrange
chamber allows the driver to reproduce the critical frequencies related to
e.g. human voices without any interference from the rest of the system.
Thus you will nd two bass ports on the back of the cabinet located as nearbythe woofers as possible. Both ports are
convex tapered in both ends to minimize port turbulence. At the very bottom of the cabinet, however, you will see that
the hardwired crossover is mounted in its own enclosure as well - free from the dynamic variation of cabinet pressure
inside the bass reex enclosures.
These partitions as well as the internal bracing have been very carefully positioned within the EPICON 8. Following
DALI’s philosophy of optimizing the timing in all aspects, a free airow is crucial to the sound experience.
