DALI MOTIF
In the loudspeaker arena, a battle is raging. On the one hand, design-oriented
brands hope that you will be so dazzled by a shiny, sexy exterior that you forgive the
mediocre sound on offer. Then there are performance-oriented brands that expect you to
clutter your living space with large boxes as the price of admission for a thrilling, realistic
viewing and listening experience.
Meanwhile, in a brave new world of ultra-flat, wall-mounted TV screens, most of us dream
of invisible audio systems that present music and movies out of thin air, as if by magic.
Unfortunately, when we awake from that impossible dream, hard choices have to be made
in the real world.
We are typically forced to choose between appearance and performance and all too
often, style wins out at the expense of substance, as sound quality is unceremoniously
sacrificed on the altar of design.
But it doesn't have to be that way anymore. At DALI, we refuse to accept the conflict
between appearance and performance and all the compromises that entails. Rising to the
challenge, we envisioned a loudspeaker that would be as pleasing to the eye as it is to
the ear, an elegant work of art of minimal dimensions, yet capable of big, no-compromise
sound for all your stereo and surround needs.
Now, with DALI MOTIF, you really can have it both ways.
DALI MOTIF is the ideal fusion of art and science, combining aspirational levels of
creativity, imagination and vision to match our technical skills and expertise in the fields
of acoustics and furniture making.
It should come as no surprise that this breakthrough concept is brought to you by DALI.
After all, throughout our 25-year history of creating and engineering high-performance
loudspeakers in Scandinavia, we have become attuned to the needs and wishes of
perhaps the most style-conscious people in the world.

DALI MOTIF is what happens when you think outside the box.
Enjoy!
