Design, Inputs and Features With a size of 994mm x 257mm x 320mm (HxWxD) the Zensor 7 is the biggest speaker in this specific series and they are not shy at all of their size. These speakers are definitely destined for larger areas and home theater rooms and although the word “large” by itself cannot put specific limits to where these speakers would be optimal to be used they certainly ask for some breathing space in order to show their quality. And although the Zensor 7 may be the biggest model in the series design wise it has many similarities with the lower Zensor 5 model but also some distinct differences. As such the front has a similar high-gloss lacquered finish while the rest of the cabinet is made of medium density fibreboard. In the Zensor 7 we also find the same aluminum base with it’s distinct design that keeps the speaker steady but also elevates it a little from the floor. Following the same construction for the whole series the cabinet is CNC machined MDF board while this model along with the Zensor 5 features internal bracing in order to reduce structural resonances. Similarly in order to improve the bass and mid-range the Zensor 7 comes with damping material on the sides, top and bottom but not on the rear side of the front baffle as this creates a more direct contact between the woofer and the bass port. The front face is rather simple with it’s long squarish column shape including a cloth cover grill for the drivers, a bass port under it and the Dali logo the only elements that brake a bit this black monotony. Dali decided to place the bass port in the front instead of the back which makes things a bit easier when it comes to placing these monsters near some wall. Placing the port in the back would require a bit more breathing space but this is not a problem here although it is still recommended to leave a minimum distance from the walls. As with the Zensor 5 removing the cloth grill we find a similar drivers array with a Tweeter-Midrange-Midrange configuration. Having a bigger size means that Dali chose to use bigger drivers this time going for dual 7″ wood fibre woofers that feature the same 4-layer voice coils that we saw in the rest of the series in order to provide more precise sound reproduction. Above them we find the same 1″ (25mm) soft textile dome tweeter we saw in the Zensor 5s. Dali put a lot of engineer thought into it in order to increase power handling and minimize compression by making it more lightweight than the usual tweeter and by using a vented voice coil former. Also the damping material under the dome minimizes reflections from the pole piece. The Zensor 7 speakers have a frequency range of 40Hz – 26,5kHz and a crossover frequency of 2,4kHz with 90dB of sensitivity and 6 Ohms of nominal impedance. At the back we find the speaker wire terminal on the bottom and they are very well constructed with gold-plated binding and plastic screws so you can either connect bare wires or use some special banana plugs if you prefer. The Zensor 7 come in three colors with black ash and light walnut having a black front while the white one covers all sides.
