The CALLISTO 2 C is the stand mount solution in our new wireless ecosystem that empowers you to easily access all your Hi-Res music directly from your smart device. Connect via Bluetooth (AAC/AptX HD) or the optional BluOS module (Wi-Fi). The CALLISTO 2 C is the perfect choice for smaller rooms without giving up performance. The combination of our 6½” low-loss wood fibre woofer, hybrid tweeter module and the perfectly balanced internal cabinet volume form the base of a highly accurate audio experience.
PRODUCT DETAILS
As part of our wireless CALLISTO eco system, the stand mount CALLISTO 2 C represents the virtues of traditional Hi-Fi merged with the convenience of wireless audio. Designed to deliver on DALI’s promise of producing the most natural and faithful reproduction possible.
The CALLISTO 2 C is perfect for smaller spaces or rooms where the speakers need to remain discreet, but where power and presence are still paramount. The combination of a 6½-inch low-loss wood fibre woofer, a hybrid tweeter module and the perfectly balanced internal cabinet volume results in a supremely accurate and powerful audio experience.
The CALLISTO 2 C connects wirelessly to the DALI Sound Hub through an extremely stable digital connection. With latency below 25 ms, sync between video and audio from a movie or TV source is obtained well within conventionally acceptable limits.
Everything from the drivers to the amplifier is developed in-house, which is why we can optimise every single component to match each other perfectly. This enables us to design the woofers to be more linear than would be possible in a similar traditional passive speaker system.
MQA Certified
The DALI CALLISTO speakers are MQA Certified. By adding the DALI BluOS NPM-1 module to your system, you can now take advantage of the ever-growing catalogue of studio master recordings that have been encoded into MQA and streamed on services like Tidal.
WOOFER & SMC
The unique 6½" CALLISTO 2 C woofer takes low loss and linearity to a whole new level. By controlling the entire signal path from source to driver, the DALI acoustics team were able to elevate audio performance beyond conventional speakers.
Every element of the CALLISTO woofer is optimised to work in perfect balance with the built-in amplifier, and because of this, the sound stage created is detail-rich, time-coherent and effortlessly immersive. The result is music reproduced exactly as the artist intended.
We used our experience from developing the OPTICON and RUBICON woofers - combined with a whole lot of listening hours - to optimise the magnet motor to deliver its ultimate. With that knowledge we were able obtain a very linear and perfectly symmetrical suspension within the working area of the voice coil and membrane, only taking control and slowing down the membrane movement at the outermost excursion points.
The extra linearity obtained both around the voice-coil and in the spider manifests itself in reduction in mechanical distortion and less strain on the amplifier, which leads to more detailing and a better defined sound stage.
SMC
The CALLISTO 2 C woofer benefit from the use of SMC in the pole piece. When used in a speaker magnet motor system, it results in a significant reduction of distortion from mechanical loss. SMC’s unique ability to deliver a high magnetic conductivity and a very low electrical conductivity delivers all the wanted qualities of a really good speaker magnet without the traditional downsides.
As a result of these optimisations and especially through use of SMC, the CALLISTO 2 C benefits from an extremely agile, well-behaved and ultra low loss woofer, that when working in conjunction with the amplifier is able to deliver a richly detailed, time coherent and very powerful audio signal.
YouTube reviewer John Dark reviewed the CALLISTO 2 C with a focus on usability and functionality. He was impressed by the CALLISTO 2 C features and versatility - showing its ability to play from many different sources. Such as streaming via the BluOS module in the Sound Hub, using Chromecast Audio, Bluetooth and connecting a turntable to the Sound Hub.
When listening to the CALLISTO 2 C the reviewer comments: "One of the standout qualities of this DALI loudspeaker is its top end. We get a lot of ambient information - so recording space - it is delivered with a lot of delicacy and finesse" and that "This is a big sounding speaker with an enormous sound stage. That and the very refined and smooth top end - are the two killer features of these speakers"
For the review, John Darko listened to the The Ghost of Tom Joad album by Bruce Springsteen, Maxinquaye album by Tricky and the song Phat Planet by Leftfield.

FULL REVIEW
According to Dutch movie website Alles Over Film, DALI makes an impression with the new CALLISTO series both in terms of how easy it is to use as well as what they call “absolute top quality hi-fi!”
Alles Over Film has tested the DALI CALLISTO 2 C, which impresses in every way. The reviewer mentions that the white CALLISTO speakers come with white power cables. “I love that. Attention to detail!” he says. He also finds it "cool" that you can adjust the volume on the speaker itself, instead of using “a boring button,” he says. DALI’s approach is that it should not be necessary to turning the loudspeakers towards the listening position, which “makes it easy to place in many living rooms,” the reviewer adds.
Alles Over Film finds that as the test progresses “the woofers start to become more lively, and the sound seems to be looser from the speakers,” the reviewer explains. And he adds the “the sound becomes better and better” and “more and more enjoyable.”
“The finest details in the music become audible and the control of the low is particularly good. It is an absolute joy to listen to the music with your eyes closed and thus be able to point out the instruments in space,” he elaborates. It does not matter whether he listens to classical music, rock, pop jazz or even dance. “Everything comes to life more and more with the CALLISTOs. Voices sound natural and tricky instruments like violins and pianos come into the living room very faithfully. Close your eyes and you feel like you are in a VIP spot right in front of the stage.”
When it comes to movies he finds that the CALLISTO’s lows goes so deep “that a subwoofer is not even necessary.” It is no problem to watch movies with the CALLISTOs. Whether or not you miss surround sound depends on your wishes and whether your heart lies more with music or film, the reviewer explains. “And to be honest, I prefer an excellent stereo setup rather than a moderate surround setup,” he adds.
The conclusion is that the DALI CALLISTO 2 Cs “are really fantastic.”
“No more endless search and doubts about a match between amplifier and speaker and even cables. Simply unpack, connect and enjoy real hi-fi in the modern world,” they wrap up the review.

FULL REVIEW
The Danish hi-fi magazine, Lyd & Billede has tested the DALI CALLISTO 2 C, which impresses the reviewer. Right from the start he highlights the sound, the bass and the convenience.
“DALI CALLISTO 2 C is easy to listen to in the sense that it does not require unnecessary attention,” he says. The speaker is not boring or retaining even though it first and foremost focuses playing music and not about highlighting or analyzing, and the CALLISTO 2 C “has a dynamic span and avoids fatigue, which is impressive at this price point. But it does not brag unnecessarily,” he explains.
Furthermore, according to the reviewer the active loudspeaker reproduces voices with a purity and homogeneity where no tone areas are particularly stressed. And he explains that “DALI CALLISTO does not go deeper in the bass than passive compact speakers. However, it does so with a strength and authority that you rarely find in passive speakers.”
Lyd & Billede's reviewer concludes that “CALLISTO 2 C delivers all the virtues, which we know from the company’s passive series, in combination with wireless convenience.” And he adds that “thanks to the built-in computer force, the CALLISTOs have a capability in the bottom that is not possible in traditional, passive speakers.” Furthermore, he says that the price is more than fair when considering that you get a complete system.
