Group-Test Winner Is One of the Biggest Values in Audio: A Surround-Sound Dynamo, Dali Zensor 1 Bookshelf Loudspeaker Features In-House-Designed Drivers and Large Sweet Spot The merits warranted the Dali Zensor 1 bookshelf loudspeaker attest to how incredibly well this seemingly welterweight contender holds up in both dedicated stereo and, especially, home-theater surround systems. A recipient of a five-star review from What Hi-Fi? that later went on to win the magazine's highly competitive group test in the affordable bookshelf-speaker segment, Zensor 1 has also drawn accolades from Stereophile and several other audiophile outlets from around the world. At its sub-$350 price, there are few better overall values in the entire audio market . Dali's longtime focus on wide dispersion for excellent room integration and enlarged sweet spots , linear impedance for matching with practically any amplifier, and low-mechanical loss construction to eradicate any need for frequency correction automatically distinguish Zensor 1. As do the Danish company's in-house-designed drivers. A 5.25-inch wood fiber-cone woofer – complete with four-layer voice coils for stellar control and rigid metal baskets for excellent transient capabilities – joins an ultra-low-mass, one-inch soft-dome tweeter with a vented voice coil to provide astute detail, spot-on timing, taut bass, and refreshing openness . Each complements inside-and-out engineering that adheres to a form-follows-function philosophy. On the outside of Zensor 1, rounded edges reduce diffraction to minimize distortion. Internal braces eliminate structural resonance. Inside, acoustic damping material strategically placed inside both optimizes timing and produces increased midrange attack as well as accurate low-end responsiveness. For the crowning touch, solid aluminum accents supplement the high-gloss ## Features - Has drawn accolades from Stereophile and several other audiophile outlets from around the world. - In-house-designed drivers.

Great speaker **Q: The Wirecutter pro review says that these sound virtually the same as ELAC B6. Agree? $116 more just for nicer appearance?** A: I can't answer that because I haven't heard how the ELAC B6 sounds like. But it sounds better than the Polk Audio RTi A1 that I bought for about $320 a couple of years ago. **Q: Are these sold as a pair or single?** A: Pair. Nice sounding speakers **Q: Will this work on my rega p1 turntable?** A: Yes, these will work with your P1 as long as you have an amplifier. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars They are just a amazing to listen to - their motto is "In Admiration ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016* I don't usually take the time to review a product but I just have to leave a review for these DALI - ZENSOR 1 speakers: they just put a smile on your face when you listen to them. They are just amazing to listen to - their motto is "In Admiration of Music" and they are dead on! I really doubt you will find anything better for all around listening in the under $500 a pair market and probably you will have to go up to $700 a pair to really notice a difference in sound quality. I am using the NAD D 3020 with these speakers and it works perfect - we don't listen to music very loud, but it will go as loud as we want to go or need. Currently just using Bluetooth to stream to NAD but will be trying AirPlay for higher quality in the near future. Also will try USB DAC input on NAD at some point and compare different audio quality. I bought these based on wirecutter review and other reviews showing all the rewards they have won - yes wirecutter does currently recommend ELAC UB6 but they are to big and not as nice looking and wirecutter does say the DALI sounds just as good, is smaller, and nicer looking. I have read reviews online of comparisons between the DALI and the ELAC and almost all said the same they prefer the DALI's they put a smile on your face when you hear them.Update: Nov 7, 2016 - I am now using iPhone 30 pin digital audio out using an Apple to camera adapter to USB DAC on the NAD D 3020 and it is a lot better sound quality than iPhone Bluetooth to NAD. So iPhone is sending out digital ---> NAD USB DAC. It's gorgeous, significant audio improvement over Bluetooth! Will be testing Apple Airplay in near future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ... is quite breathtaking -- instrument and voice separation is perfect and expansive *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016* The soundstage and clarity is quite breathtaking -- instrument and voice separation is perfect and expansive, and yet the total sum is a cohesive unit of musical sound; the best I've heard at this price. I enjoy the sound signature of these speakers more than any B&W speakers I've heard, even the $10,000+ speakers. Of course that's extremely subjective, but these speakers definitely suit me very well. Your tastes may certainly vary, but the DALI's are worth a listen. Comparable in sound signature to the Sennheiser HD650 headphones with a good DAC and tube amp, but with perhaps a bit more emphasis on the treble and wider sound stage. The treble is beautifully defined and is never fatiguing, even in near-field listening. The mids are fluid and crunch when needed for rock, liquid smooth when needed for other music. The bass is tight, accurate, and punchy down to the rated 53 Hz. I have these speakers paired with an SVS SB-1000 subwoofer for extra bottom end to the 20+ Hz range. They blend very well with that sub at a crossover of about 90 Hz. I had the speakers for a few weeks before the sub, however, and the sound was just so impressive. For information's sake: PC --> Little Dot DAC_1 (USB) --> Yamaha A-S301 --> DALI ZENSOR 1/SVS SB-1000. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Best small bookshelf speaker in class *by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018* Best small bookshelf speaker in class. Easily rivals $1,000 speakers. Although sensitivity is only rated at 86.5db, it still plays with lots of preciseness and separation of instruments at low volume levels. Mids are well defined. I notice a big difference in mids between Dali and Wharfedale speakers in this class. Also the bass. Oh my the bass. You can hear the vibrato when bass is bowing. When bass picks you can hear lower frequencies on the Dali than the others. High trumpet sounds like a trumpet. I love how Miles Davis horn and both Cannonball and Coltrane sax sounds on Columbia CD version of "Kind of Blue". They're in my room playing, man.I use this speaker in my 10x10 room with 7' ceilings. Carpeted basement cement floors with sheetrock over cement walls. Sheetrock ceiling. Speakers were 5' apart and 36" high, and my listening spot was 4'-5' away from them. Listened to at approx. 20% volume via Peachtree Nova 65SE amp and NAD C516BEE CD player. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/6735257-dali-zensor-1-black-ash](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/6735257-dali-zensor-1-black-ash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
