DALI MENUET SE

The well-known, extremely compact DALI MENUET bookshelf loudspeaker has found numerous enthusiastic owners in recent years who appreciate the gigantic sound given the minimal housing size.

With the MENUET SE, DALI has now launched a special edition of the tiny, successful speaker - with the aim of teasing even more sound quality out of the small housing on the one hand and giving the box an even more elegant look and individuality on the other with a new real wood veneer.

The visual appearance of the DALI MENUET SE is breathtaking. The high-gloss, polished real wood veneer called "Wild Walnut" lives up to its name: Thanks to the extraordinary wood structure, each loudspeaker is absolutely unique. The housings are carefully pre-sorted in order to be able to put together optically harmonious stereo pairs.

Each individual DALI MENUET SE is carefully hand assembled and tested by the same DALI employee to ensure the highest possible quality. After the final quality check, each loudspeaker is provided with an individual brass type plate, which also contains the initials of the respective DALI employee.

The MENUET SE works with a 115 mm woofer and a 28 mm fabric dome tweeter. You can find more information about the two chassis under the link above.

Compared to the regular MENUET, the crossover of the Special Edition is made with high-quality Mundorf^TM-Capacitors that have been carefully selected in extensive listening tests. In addition, the circuit boards of the crossover have a special, particularly high level of electrical insulation, which minimizes interference between the individual components. And the connection terminals on the back of the speaker come from the high-end DALI EPICON series, which guarantees an optimal connection with every speaker cable.

POSITION

For optimal playback quality, you should place the DALI MENUET SE on a shelf or fix it directly to the wall using the bracket available as an accessory. Two threads are already embedded on the back of each box for problem-free installation. The wall bracket is designed so that on the one hand there is sufficient distance between the box and the wall so that the air emitted by the bass reflex opening can escape freely, and on the other hand the DALI MENUET SE is attached as close to the wall as possible.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and clear design, the DALI MENUET SE can easily be placed anywhere in the house. In addition, the loudspeaker is suitable for supplementing all models from the DALI RUBICON series in order to put together a powerful multi-channel system.

SPEAKER CHASSIS

The woofer has a 115 mm (4,5”) wood fiber cone and is constructed in such a way that the air set in motion by the cone can be distributed as unhindered as possible. As a result, and thanks to the enlarged cut-out of the mid-bass driver in the baffle, the driver harmonises perfectly with the cabinet and impresses with a particularly open and dynamic reproduction. And since the MENUET SE's voice-coil former is made of glass fibers, mechanical losses in the voice-coil movement and distortion are reduced to an absolute minimum.

All frequencies above 3.000 Hz are reproduced by a tweeter with a particularly large 28 mm fabric dome. The material used for this is about 30% lighter than comparable standard domes, which is why the tweeter of the MENUET SE has an extremely low moving mass. In connection with the powerful neodymium magnet drive, a fast, detailed and airy high-frequency reproduction is guaranteed.
