DALI Launches Epikore Series Speakers Featuring Ultra-Low Distortion SMC Gen-2 Technology.
The acclaimed DALI Epikore 11 is joined by the new Epikore 3 standmount speaker and the Epikore 7 and 9 Floorstanders.
With the launch of the Epikore Series, DALI harnesses over four decades of loudspeaker innovation to introduce the latest advancements in audio technology. The Epikore Series represents the natural evolution of the celebrated DALI Epicon line, seamlessly integrating select features from the flagship DALI Kore. With luxurious craftsmanship and groundbreaking audio realism, the Epikore Series elevates the listening experience to unprecedented heights.
Joining the esteemed Epikore 11 4½-way floorstander, DALI unveils three new models: the Epikore 3 3-way stand-mount, Epikore 7 3½-way floorstander, and Epikore 9 4-way floorstander. Each speaker in the series is crafted to deliver uncompromising sound clarity, blending advanced acoustic engineering with Danish design aesthetics.
The Epikore Series speakers are available in three exclusive high-gloss finishes — Black, Walnut, and Maroon — and feature several signature DALI technologies. Notable among these is the Evo-K Hybrid Tweeter Module, comprising a 35 mm soft-dome tweeter and a 55 x 10 mm HF planar element, alongside the proprietary SMC Gen-2 technology that minimizes distortion. Each speaker utilizes custom-made, Clarity Cone paper and wood fibre cone bass/midrange drivers, and continuous-flare bass reflex ports to ensure a rich and balanced sound experience.

Redefining Audio Performance Through Kore Technologies
The Epikore Series exemplifies DALI’s commitment to advancing high-end loudspeaker performance across listening spaces of all sizes. The line incorporates DALI’s second-generation Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC Gen-2) technology. This material’s special structure reduces hysteresis, flux-modulation, and eddy currents. Originally introduced in DALI Kore, this technology has been re-engineered in Epikore’s bass and midrange drivers and inductor cores. The result is significantly reduced audio distortion, improving sound fidelity.
Each Epikore model also features DALI’s Clarity Cone, a paper and wood fibre cone structure that controls cone behavior while preserving low mass. This technology brings out minute musical details and dynamic range, enhancing both clarity and impact.
Incorporating the Evo-K Hybrid Tweeter Module, a combination of a large 35 mm Soft Dome Tweeter and an advanced planar magnetostatic tweeter element, the Epikore Series achieves an exceptionally smooth high-frequency response. With high-performance neodymium magnets, the tweeter system ensures clear and effortless reproduction at all volume levels.
