Product Description
The DALI ALTECO C-1 is a true multi-purpose loudspeaker, both in terms of its design and its possible uses. The ALTECO C-1 can be used as an attachment for the front and/or surround speakers or as a treble speaker in a home cinema system, as a wall-mounted speaker in stereo and multi-channel systems or as a nearfield monitor on the desk. The ALTECO C-1 is tuned for a frequency response that is as linear as possible, so that a balanced and faithful reproduction in accordance with the DALI sound philosophy is guaranteed for every application.
The ALTECO C-1 reproduces the signals of the height channels of Atmos, DTS-X and Auro-3D soundtracks in home cinema systems with an appropriate AV receiver or amplifier to great effect – both when it is placed on the front speakers and directed downwards when mounted under the ceiling or on the top of the wall.
The ALTECO C-1 delivers impressive spatiality without the need for special frequency response corrections common to Dolby Atmos licensed speakers to emphasise the effects of HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) technology. Instead, the ALTECO C-1 uses only the signals generated by the amplifier for the height channels, provided this mode is activated. If we had equipped the ALTECO C-1 with a non-linear crossover for the HRTF requirements, the speaker would have been suitable only as a top-mounted speaker and not for universal use for the surround, treble and stereo channels. The DALI ALTECO C-1 thus offers the advantages of several worlds and particularly versatile and flexible application possibilities.
Important: The front panel of the ALTECO C-1 is set back slightly so that the sound is emitted as precisely as possible in the direction of the listening position. To prevent the emitted sound waves from being reflected and refracted in an unfavourable way or to avoid a funnel effect, a specially shaped foam pad has been placed around the bass-midrange speaker. This pad should always remain in place, regardless of the placement and use of the ALTECO C-1.
DRIVERS
The 115 mm bass-midrange driver with wood fibre cone and the 21 mm ultra-light fabric dome tweeter ensure that all DALI sound principles are also implemented with the uniquely designed ALTECO C-1. The cone of the ALTECO C-1 is also made of a mixture of paper and wood fibres.
POSITIONING
With its angled baffle & two available sound settings, the ALTECO C-1 can be used in numerous configurations. To reproduce the height channels of Dolby Atmos, DTS-X & Auro-3D soundtracks, place the ALTECO C-1 on top of the front and/or rear surround speakers. Alternatively, the speaker can play the role of a traditional front speaker with placement further up the wall or mounted across the side walls.
LOW LOSSES
The primary function of any loudspeaker is to convert the electrical signals delivered by the amplifier into sound images within the listening room that are as true to the original as possible. Any distortion or colouration of the original signal caused by the loudspeaker drivers or cabinets means a degradation of the sound.
