Running-in

Like any other mechanical system, a speaker needs to be "run in", so you can look forward to a gradual improvement in sound quality over the ini- tial period. Unlike other mechanical systems, a DALI speaker does not wear out - in fact, regular use will extend its lifetime.

Connection

The connection to your amplifier is extremely important for your sound experience.

Always turn off your amplifier before connecting any cables or altering

any connections.

Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right speak- ers. We recommend using special speaker cables from DALI, available from your dealer.

For the perfect sound experience, the right speaker must be connected to the output terminal marked "R" or "Right" on your amplifier and the left speaker to the terminal marked "L" or "Left".

A detail that is often overlooked is connection in the correct phase, i.e. the red terminal (+) on the amplifier should be connected to the red terminal

(+) on the speaker, and the black terminal (-) on the amplifier should be connected to the black terminal (-) on the speaker. (Fig. 1) If just one speaker in a stereo or surround sound system is not connected in phase, the bass will be weak and the over-

all sound will be diffuse.

Always switch off your amplifier before adjusting any of the cables!
