HEAR WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
Adding that missing audio excellence
As TVs get larger, the space for quality audio systems gets smaller. If you demand TV sound that's as sharp as the picture, the DALI KATCH ONE is for you. It's a stylish, complete soundbar that upgrades your TV experience by adding that missing audio excellence that a TV speaker just can't deliver. Designed to enhance TV audio but engineered to improve music from any source, the DALI KATCH ONE also has the power to perform as your main audio system.
DESIGN & FUNCTIONALITY
Combining elegant looks & functionality
The KATCH ONE's design is undeniably elegant. The front fabric has been carefully selected for its excellent acoustical properties, ensuring that the sound passes through without losing any of its energy or detail. The KATCH ONE also offers three stylish mounting solutions: a wall-mounted leather strap which elegantly hides cables running from the TV, a keyhole mount on the rear of the soundbar, or real wood feet for placement on a shelf or piece of furniture.
FUNCTIONAL CASING
Durable enclosure with innovative design
The KATCH ONE casing and front baffle are moulded from an attractive and durable glass-fibre reinforced ABS compound. While providing a solid platform for the drivers, the casing also optimises airflow, widens the stereo image and guides the sound towards the listener.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY
All the inputs you could ever need
The KATCH ONE comes with all the inputs you could ever want. Whether you attach your TV or audio source using the HDMI, 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack, Bluetooth® (high-resolution AAC and aptX) or two optical inputs, the KATCH ONE powers on and selects it automatically. There's even a subwoofer output for more powerful low-end immersion and a USB port for powering your tablet.
MADE FOR MOVIES
Clean, detailed and coherent audio
The KATCH ONE renders sound rarely experienced in a soundbar. With an astonishing 6 active drivers and 4 passive units, matched perfectly with a 4 x 50 W amplifier, dialogue and effects are sweepingly dynamic, crisp and clear, while music scores are beautifully balanced. With the KATCH ONE, movie nights will never be the same again.
SOFT DOME TWEETERS
Detail, accuracy & speed
Driven by a strong neodymium magnet, the two lightweight 21 mm soft dome tweeters deliver detailed, accurate and agile high-frequency sound while taking up minimal space. The large surface area also helps the tweeters reach down into the midrange frequencies for seamless integration with the KATCH ONE's woofers.
LOW-PROFILE WOOFERS
Designed for the KATCH ONE shallow case
By using a special shallow woofer chassis, inverted membrane and special spider suspension, the KATCH ONE's woofers have the same maximum excursion as similarly sized traditional woofers. The stiff aluminium cone also moves lots of air, even at midrange frequencies, and the combination of aluminium and fabric dust cap works to lower surface resonances and retain detail and clarity.
A POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
Offering plenty power & two sound modes
Driving the KATCH ONE are four 50 watts peak, closed-loop Class D amplifiers. Taking advantage of DSP technology for the active crossover, the amplifiers are connected directly to the drivers for the best possible performance. The KATCH ONE also includes two sound modes: Wide and Focus. Wide mode offers an impressive and dynamic audio rendering for a room-filling and surprisingly powerful experience. Focus mode delivers a more linear sound profile that brings out the midrange frequencies where the vocals reside.

Sound Quality
88/100
Bass
88/100
Reviewers repeatedly praised the bass as full and tight for the unit's small driver sizes (3.5" woofers + passive radiators) and noted it goes deeper than expected, though deep subterranean extension requires the recommended subwoofer.
Mid
88/100
Consistently praised for clear, well-rendered vocals and instrumental detail; a few reviewers noted slight hollowness or upper-mid compression on demanding piano passages but overall very good timbral performance.
Treble
84/100
Highs are detailed and lively with good sparkle, though several reviews mention a slight brightness or occasional thinness/tinny cymbals; generally refined without harshness at normal listening levels.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Wide and convincing imaging—Wide mode and rear-firing drivers/passive radiators extend the soundfield well beyond the enclosure; reviewers highlighted excellent spatial presentation for both music and film.
Dynamics
88/100
Strong dynamic range and punch for its size (claims ~101dB SPL); handles quiet-to-loud transitions well though the most visceral low-frequency hits benefit from adding the suggested sub.
Show Less
Build Quality
91/100
High-quality fit and finish with thoughtful engineering (multiple drivers, passive radiators, class-D amps); reviewers noted attractive design, solid materials and good mounting options.
Features Connectivity
81/100
Passive baseline applied per scoring rules; however product is active and offers HDMI ARC, 2× optical, aux, Bluetooth (aptX/AAC), sub-out and mounting hardware (+1 adjustment for OEM mounting hardware).
Value for Money
86/100
At roughly $999 MSRP (multiple reviewers) many judged it good value within its one-box category—sonically superior to many rivals but best when paired with a sub for full cinematic impact.
