DALI Subwoofer SUB V-16 F, Black

EPIC BASS · IMMENSE POWER · HOME CINEMA NIRVANA

Take your home cinema experience to new depths with the audiophile DALI V-16 F. Featuring a large, custom-developed, ultra-low-distortion 16 inch bass driver powered by an immense 1,500 watts of DSP amplification, the V-16 F will blow your mind with abyss-deep bass and tingle your senses with subtle details delivered with effortless control, speed and perfect integration with your main speakers.

INNOVATION INSIDE AND OUT

With the 16 inch bass driver’s incredible 70 mm (peak-to-peak) excursion and the largest magnet motor system we’ve ever developed, every aspect of the V-16 F innovates to give you the ultimate full range, low distortion cinematic experience. Other innovations include Constant Surface Surround (CSS) technology, which enhances linear excursion, minimises self-resonance and reduces overall distortion for an exceptionally transparent and lifelike performance. And with the easy-access front-mounted panel you can fine tune volume, gain, phase, sound modes and more for seamless integration with your Hi-Fi setup. With its innovative technologies and exceptional performance, the V-16 F paves the way for future generations of DALI subwoofers.

THE DEFINITION OF AN AUDIOPHILE SUBWOOFER

The V-16 F driver sets a remarkable new benchmark for high bandwidth, low loss, low distortion performance from a subwoofer. It plays lean, deep, detailed bass without sacrificing dynamics, pitch, speed or tonal coloration. It also reaches high into frequencies outside its normal operating range with the same outstanding performance, blending seamlessly with your speakers without masking their vitally important midrange clarity. For us, this is the definition of a true audiophile subwoofer.

A TRUE DALI SPEAKER

Developed and assembled entirely in-house, the V-16 F is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. From the beautifully veneered, ultra-rigid cabinet to the exceptional hand-built driver, our flagship subwoofer is a showcase of everything we’ve learned over 40 years of loudspeaker design, development and production. The V-16 F reflects your love of refined workmanship and your passion for high-end home cinema.

DIRECTING THE PERFORMANCE

DALI Continuous Flare port technology, first featured in the extraordinary DALI EPIKORE 11 ultra-high-end loudspeaker, features variable-diameter geometry throughout the length of the port to minimise port noise and turbulence, while maximising port linearity. The constant variation in diameter suppresses the formation of organ-pipe-like resonance modes that can afflict long reflex ports. It also helps to ensure laminar airflow is retained, even up to very high sound pressure levels. The reflex ports are tuned to an extremely low 18 Hz and adhere to DALI’s low-loss and low-distortion sound design principles.

THREE SOUND MODES

The V-16 F’s front-mounted panel offers three distinct sound profiles: Cinema mode, for LFE-channel audio in audiovisual and movie content that emphasises low-frequency bandwidth and impact – Music mode, for optimal low bass in music, focusing on bass dynamics and timing – and Boost mode, for those times when you want a little extra impact or explosive depth when listening to music or watching a movie.
