4.0 CONNECTION
Correct, tight connections to your amplifier are extremely important for your listening experience.
Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels. We recommend using
DALI CONNECT speaker cable, available from your dealer.
Connection in correct phase is a detail that is often ignored. The red (+) terminal of the amplifier
must be connected to the red (+) terminal of the loudspeaker. The black (-) terminal of the
amplifier must be connected to the black (-) terminal of the loudspeaker (see Figure 11A). Even
a single loudspeaker connected out-of-phase in a stereo or surround installation will make the
bass weaker and the stereo image unfocused.
For the optimal listening experience, the right loudspeaker (as seen from the listening position)
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked “R” or “Right”. The left loudspeaker
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked “L or “Left”.
NOTE: Before connecting cables or changing any connections, ALWAYS turn off your amplifier.
NOTE: Make sure that bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose wires
which, could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier (see Figure 10).
NOTE: If you are using DALI OPTICON in a surround system, follow the instructions included
with your surround amplifier.
4.1 SINGLE-WIRING vs. BI-WIRING/BI-AMPING
All DALI OPTICON speakers can be connected by means of a single speaker cable (see Figure
11A + 11B). However, DALI OPTICON 5, 6 and 8 are fitted with two pairs of terminals, allowing
you the option of running two sets of cables to each speaker. The top terminal pair is internally
connected to the crossover network’s high frequency section. The bottom terminal pair is
internally connected to the crossover network’s bass section.
NOTE: When bi-wiring or bi-amping, ALWAYS remove the metal jumpers between the terminals
before connecting cables (see Figure 11C + 11D).
For bi-wiring, connect two sets of loudspeaker cables, one to the top terminals and one to the
bottom terminals of the speakers. At the amplifier end, connect both sets of loudspeaker cables
to the same pair of terminals on the amplifier (see Figure 11C).
For bi-amping, connect two sets of loudspeaker cables, one to the top terminals and one to the
bottom terminals. At the amplifier end, connect one set of loudspeaker cables to one amplifier,
and connect the other set of cables to the second amplifier (see Figure 11D).
5.0 RUNNING-IN
Like any mechanical system, a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best.
You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The break-in
period will vary depending on use and playback volume. You should expect up to 100 hours of
playback until maximum performance is reached. Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span
of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.
