Product Description

It is with great pleasure that Dali introduces you to the newest and smallest loudspeaker in the Mentor series. The DALI Mentor Menuet - a small, yet powerful speaker that reveals great musicality that will set new standards for sound and performance from a compact speaker.

Conceptually, Mentor Menuet is a compact bass reflex loudspeaker measuring only 25 x 15 x 23 cm/9.8 x 5.9 x 9.0”. Even though it is only based on a 4.5” woofer and a 28 mm/1.1” soft dome it more than makes the grade. Listen to these brilliant tiny loudspeakers and you will hear plenty of clean, undistorted bass, open and dynamic midrange and detailed/crisp highs.

The 4.5” woofer is airflow optimized to achieve the best possible coupling between the wood fiber cone and the real wood veneer cabinet. Even the woofer cut-out in the cabinet is made larger than normal to optimise openness and dynamic response. The oversized 28 mm/1.1” soft dome tweeter is able to start and stop with great speed and precision due to the very low mass of the dome assembly and a powerful motor system (the dome is approximately 30% lighter than comparable standard domes and the magnet in the motor system is made of the strongest neodymium material available). The DALI designed drivers, sturdy binding posts and high quality crossover is the key to achieving extraordinary performance from such a compact loudspeaker.

For optimum performance, Mentor Menuet should be positioned in a bookshelf or mounted on the wall using an optional wall bracket. With two threaded inserts on the rear of the cabinet, it is prepared for easy installation of the wall bracket without any hassle. The bracket is designed to ensure optimal clearance between the wall and the bass reflex port.

The neat and clean design - makes it very easy to place the tiny DALI Mentor Menuet anywhere around the house. Alternatively, combine them with other speakers in the acclaimed Mentor series for a high-performance stereo set-up or home cinema system. Either way, you’re in for an experience.

Attention: Mentor Menuet is also available in cherry veneer and white satin.

Test reports (selection)

HI-FI CHOICE in November 2013:
"Die Mentor Menuet mag ein kleiner Lautsprecher sein, aber ihr Klang muss sich hinter dem deutlich größerer Boxen keineswegs verstecken. Am meisten beeindruckt hat uns, dass die DALI trotz ihrer naturgetreuen und eher lieblichen Spielweise niemals den Sinn für Spaß und Pepp in der Musik verliert."

AUDIO in September 2012:
"Trotz kleiner Größe sehr detailreich und lebendig bei hoher Präzision. Preis/Leistung: sehr gut."

TRUSTED REVIEWS in September 2012:
"DALIs Mentor Menuet sind ein eindrucksvoller Beweis, wie gut kompakte Lautsprecher klingen können. Mit jeder Art von Musik und Soundtracks liefern die Boxen ein beeindruckendes Ergebnis."

HIFI & RECORDS in April 2012
"Unterm Strich ist die DALI Mentor Menuet eine tolle Kompaktbox, die eine dicke Empfehlung verdient."

STEREO in January 2012:
"DALIs Mentor Menuet ist ein impulsschneller und klanglich gut ausbalancierter Kompaktlautsprecher mit klar fokussiertem Klangbild und hochwertiger Verarbeitung."

I-FIDELITY.NET in May 2010:
"Die Mentor Menuet ist ein Lautsprecher-Highlight. Preiswerter lässt sich ein Einstieg in hochwertige Musikwiedergabe kaum realisieren."
