System completely | DALI Loudspeakers speakers guide

Setting level

Adjust the volume on your Piano Forte so the bass sound matches the level from the front speakers. Adjust it so that you can hear the sound contri- bution from Piano Forte - but without the bass being too dominant. The bass should be stable and precise. If you set the volume too high, there is a risk of the subwoofer being overloaded, which would have a detrimental effect on the vital playback of mid-range tones from the front speakers.

Choice of crossover frequency

Once the volume level is set you can tackle the equally important adjust- ment of the crossover between the front speakers and Piano Forte. You do this by adjusting the "Crossover Frequency" up and down until you can hear the bass running evenly and with no gaps. You may need to readjust the volume slightly for this adjustment.

Phase setting

In most cases you will achieve the best results with "Phase" set to 180°. However, this will depend on the front speakers you are using. Once again, your ears must be the judge. Use the trial-and-error method for both set- tings - and you may also want to try readjusting the volume and crossover frequency. In all cases it is a good idea to listen to the system for several days and readjust as required. The same setting will not always be ideal for both surround sound and 2-channel stereo. So it is useful to make a note of your preferred settings for each type.

The "Auto Shut Off" function will set Piano Forte to stand-by mode after approximately 15 minutes with no signal to the input terminal. When Piano Forte receives a signal again, the system will switch on automatic- ally.

The "Power" button is the main switch for the system. It is best to switch off the system completely when it is not going to be in use for long periods. When making any changes to connections, always shut down the
