DALI KUPID Shoots Straight for the Audiophile Heart
The latest DALI speaker was developed to raise the bar through high performance and a new design. Priced at approximately $400, the speaker is designed to offer homeowners value in the compact loudspeaker market. Designed around a “keep it simple” philosophy, KUPID is a single-model offering the company points out comes with no confusing product tiers or tech jargon.
Under the hood the KUPID loudspeaker is built with advanced DALI technologies the company says have not seen before at this price point. The proprietary 4½-inch paper and wood-fiber bass/midrange driver, ferrite magnet system and low-loss rubber surround are used to help produce fast, tight bass and a dynamic midrange which the Danish company asserts are all hallmarks of DALI’s signature sound.The company goes on to explain the speaker’s custom-developed 1.02-inch soft dome tweeter is designed to deliver detailed, extended highs with smooth dispersion and minimal distortion. The tweeter baffle design is tuned for seamless integration with the midrange driver to help the speaker reproduce a natural and cohesive soundstage.
Together, these components are engineered to work together, guided by custom crossovers designed for timing accuracy, soft roll-off clarity. KUPID’s ‘dual flare’ bass reflex port is also time-aligned to optimize airflow and minimize unwanted resonances.
DALI is launching KUPID with a choice of five finish options: black ash, walnut, caramel white, golden yellow, and chilly blue, each featuring color-matched bass/midrange cones and grilles.
“KUPID is about falling in love with music again,” adds Pedersen. “It’s pure DALI—just distilled, simplified and reimagined for today’s listener.”
