DALI KUPID Bookshelf Speakers Golden Yellow (Pair)

The DALI KUPID sits at the entry point of DALI’s loudspeaker range, positioned below the Oberon and Opticon series. Designed in Denmark, it is a compact passive bookshelf speaker engineered for nearfield listening in smaller rooms, desktop setups and casual listening environments where space is limited.

Driver Technology

The KUPID is a 2-way design featuring a 4½-inch (114 mm) bass/midrange driver with a paper and wood fibre cone — a material combination found across DALI’s range for its balance of stiffness and low mass. The high-frequency driver is a 26 mm soft dome tweeter with an ultra-light woven fabric diaphragm. A custom crossover network at 2,100 Hz manages the handover between the two drivers.

Bass Reflex Design

The rear-ported enclosure uses DALI’s dual flare bass reflex port, which reduces air turbulence at the port exits for cleaner bass output. The port is tuned to 53 Hz, extending low-frequency response down to 63 Hz (±3 dB). Despite the compact cabinet dimensions of just 237 × 140 × 195 mm, the KUPID achieves a maximum SPL of 103 dB.

Placement Flexibility

The KUPID is designed to work in a variety of positions: on a bookshelf, desk, sideboard or wall-mounted using the included brackets. DALI specifies a recommended distance from the rear wall of just 2.5 cm to 60 cm, meaning the speakers can be placed very close to a wall without significant bass interference — a practical advantage in tight spaces. Rubber feet are included for shelf and desktop placement.

Amplifier Compatibility

With a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 83 dB (2.83V/1m), the KUPID benefits from a capable amplifier. DALI recommends between 40 and 120 watts of amplification. The consistent impedance characteristic should ensure smooth performance across a range of amplifiers, though the relatively low sensitivity means higher-powered models will bring the best results.
