The DALI ALTECO C-1 is a versatile 2-way speaker that excels as a height channel speaker for Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, and Auro-3D setups when placed on top of front or rear speakers in up-firing mode. It also functions as an on-wall stereo, rear, or surround speaker in down-firing mode, thanks to its angled design and switchable dual sound modes. Featuring DALI's signature low-loss wood fibre 4½" woofer and 21 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter, it delivers detailed, resonant-free sound with minimal signal loss through custom drivers and high-quality crossover components. Ideal for flexible room positioning, including on speakers, walls, or high placements, with magnetic shielding and closed enclosure for realistic audio reproduction.
