Owners guide for DLS D-series loudspeakers

Introduction

Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing the product. It will help you to optimise the performance of your speakers .

Unpacking and maintenance

Your speaker should be treated with the same care you would treat a piece of furniture. Use only a piece of soft cloth and a small quantity of warm soapy water to clean the loudspeakers. Avoid touching the cone of the bass unit or treble dome since this may leave a finger mark or even damage the dome and spoil its performance. After unpacking, we suggest you retain all packing material for future transports.

Running-in period

The performance of the speaker will change subtly during the listening period.

Please allow your new speakers to play about 50 hours of music at normal listening level before doing any critical listening.

Room positioning 2-Channel stereo

The performance of a loudspeaker system in a room varies with placement. Ideal positioning of the speakers are 3-4 m apart and preferably at least 0.5-1m away from side and rear walls se fig. 1. Avoid distances from walls that correspond to 1/2, 1/4, 1/6 etc., of the room dimensions. Seek instead odd fractions; 1/3, 1/5, 1/7 etc.to minimize effects of room related resonances.

You will perceive the most accurate sound picture if you listen from a position halfway between the loudspeakers, and three to four metres away. Avoid corner placement as it leads to colouration and an over-emphasise of the lower frequencies.

Image stability and stereo perception is increased if the two speakers are turned slightly towards the listening position. Try this out and listen for best stereo image and centre focus. Objects in the direct sound path can disturb the coherence of the sound picture. Try out different positions before deciding on a final arrangement.

Surround system Centre speaker positions:

For a front centre speaker position it directly above or below the screen, depending on screen height. Optimum is in the same height as the front speaker sound centre (0.8-1m for floor standing models)

For wall mounting, there are two holes on the backside of the speaker for wall mounting with brackets. One hole for each bracket

Front right and left speaker:

Place the speaker 0.5-1m from the TV. For large projection screens, space speaker 0.1- 0.5m from screen. Try to follow the 2-channel position as close as possible in room for best sound image.

Surround speaker "rear speaker"

Depending on where you sit in the room there are two ways of presenting the sound image. Direct or diffuse surround effect.

Direct is when the speaker point at the listen- ing positions from rear or side walls, in the same height as front and centre speaker. For diffuse sound effect, mount the speaker higher and point them along rear or side wall.
