”An engaging and adaptable active speaker package.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.Flexible performers
The compact DALI Oberon 1C speakers deliver a full-bodied, natural sound that makes them ideal for many applications. Perfect as main speakers in a smaller room, a decent speaker upgrade for your TV or as high quality desktop speakers, the Oberon 1Cs are master of all. With twin, 50 watt amplifiers built-in, there’s ample power on tap for the most demanding action movie soundtracks or stadium music events.
Low latency for excellent timing
The Oberon 1C speakers are designed to be used with either the DALI Sound Hub or Sound Hub Compact. Both of these connect wirelessly to the speakers, using a top quality, 30-bit wireless protocol. Audio transmission from input to speaker is typically less than 15ms, meaning the timing between sound and vision is highly accurate.
Supplied with Sound Hub Compact for discreet style
If you prefer a smaller hub that tucks out of sight, the Sound Hub Compact is for you. Just like its bigger brother, the smaller Compact offers Bluetooth connectivity with aptX compatibility and USB charging. It also features twin optical inputs and a single analogue RCA input. As a further bonus, the Compact version comes with an HDMI ARC interface, making this the perfect hub for connecting your TV, too.
Optional Sound Hub for all the inputs
Once paired with your DALI speakers, the optional Sound Hub brings full connectivity. Stream music from your smartphone, tablet or laptop in near CD quality with Bluetooth aptX. Connect a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player, TV and games console via the two optical and single coaxial digital inputs. For analogue sources, such as a phonostage, there are RCA phono and 3.5mm inputs. With USB charging, the Sound Hub is also ready for smart music streaming devices such as Google Chromecast Audio.
Optional multi-room via BluOS module with Sound Hub
Go for the full-size Sound Hub and you can add the optional BluOS module – incorporating the speakers into a BluOS multi-room system. Multi-award-winning BluOS is chosen by many audiophiles for its ability to offer Hi-Res music across a multi-room platform. The highly developed BluOS app lets you access almost any streaming service from your smartphone or tablet. Top quality sound and multi-room convenience are no longer incompatible with the revolutionary BluOS system.
High quality drive units for reduced distortion
At the heart of the Oberon 1C drivers you'll find an SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) disc magnet system. This highly specialised feature is designed to provide the most accurate speaker control and ultra-low levels of distortion. Featuring low-loss, wood fibre woofers that are based on Dali's reference grade speakers and a brand new, ultra-light tweeter, the Oberon 1C delivers a sound that’s closer than ever to the original.
Designed for your home, not a studio
Finished in a choice of Black Ash, Light Oak, Dark Walnut and White, the Oberon speakers suit a wide range of decors and not just a studio. It’s also easy to get the best from these speakers. Unlike other speakers, they don’t need to be toed-in or pulled a long distance away from the wall behind. They also give a broad spread of sound, meaning every seat in the room is a premium seat.
For fuss-free sound, of the highest order, take a listen to the DALI Oberon 1C.

Great sound from an attractive piece of kit
Bought the Oberon 1C active speakers a couple of weeks ago. Richer Sounds bettered the other online prices that I had found with no quibble.
The speakers sound great and fit out needs perfectly. We wanted good quality with less messy wires and these units deliver. They are compact enough to take to other rooms and enjoy.
Overall, very pleased.

Good sound and solid build
A substantial upgrade on LG OLED internal speakers and even superior to a Sonos Arc sound bar. You need a USB flash drive and laptop with USB port to update the software, which was a bit of a faff. Once the update was sorted the remaining setup was pretty easy. Overall happy with the product and I prefer the more discrete location of these speakers to a wall-mounted soundbar

Sound great, look good, easy to set up
They sound amazing at the price. Easy to set up and get going.
My only concern is that I don't think I'm getting the best out of them being as I stream music from online from my phone then connect via Bluetooth. I think I could squeeze more from them if could somehow pass the digital signal over direct. Might be an issue with the state of the tech but doesn't seem there is an easy way to do this.
