DALI ZENSOR 3

Dali Zensor 3 is the latest member of the award-winning ZENSOR series. It is the most popular entry-level series of loudspeakers that have attracted a lot of attention from audiophiles throughout the world especially in many European countries because it is an entry-level product with a very high cost of performance and a simple design.

The brand new Dali Zensor 3 has the most realistic sounding speakers that are typically developed and constructed to sound so much larger than its actual size, using a 7 woofer based on the technology from Zensor 7 and a tweeter module from the Zensor 1.

It is a multi-channel theater system that observes its surrounding sound envelopment and live reproduction ability, and a stereo HI-Fi system that consists of floor-mounted speakers and bookshelf speakers for listening to generate a fascinating experience.

The cabinet of these speakers is designed so large that it has an impressive bass unit that delivers an adequate, controlled, and deep bass and at the same time small enough to be placed on a shelf or floor stand.

The cones are created from a blend of fine-grained paper pulp augmented with wood fibers and are called wood fibre cone. This blend enables the cones to be stiff and light which allows every micro detail in the signal to be reproduced unfiltered.

The surface area is increased by 15 percent by the “7woofer compared to a 6 ½  woofer which helps the Zensor 3 to deliver the same sound pressure with lesser cone excursion, thereby leading to an effortless reproduction of dynamic and smooth sound.

This powerful speaker offers a very deep bass response and has become a great success among other products.

REVIEW

There have been a lot of good reviews about the Dali Zensor series which is an award-winning loudspeaker with quality performances. We shall be reviewing the Dali Zensor 3 focusing on its capabilities and constraints.

Dali Zensor 3 bookshelf speaker comes in three different colors which are white, light walnut, and black ash. Its beautifully designed body is an added advantage because it does subtract from the sound quality. The variant of color enables the buyer to match it to the already owned furniture that is present in their home in which the medium size of the system makes it a great choice for homes of all sizes.

Each of the Zensor 3 speakers measures 351 x 205 x 293 in size and weighs 6.3kg. This makes the speakers fall in between the medium size bookshelf speaker category because they are not up to Klipsch the Sixes in size. The dimension of these speakers is well designed making their size easy to fit into any room and not become too chunky.

Additionally, the speakers are perfectly sized with the Signature Zensor design on them.

They can easily create a strong impression on everybody who is just seeing them for the first time in your living room and outrightly swept your visitors off their feet with their flawless audio performances.

The solid cabinet is attractively designed with a glossy front baffle with recessed drive units for a smoother style. The soft dome tweeter module has proved its ability to deliver a rich detailed sound and delivering an extended frequency response with wide dispersion and low coloration.
