being overpowering. Bass must be tight and accurate so that the subwoofer reproduces the exact
amount of bass present in the music/soundtrack; no more no less. When installing the DALI FAZON
SuB 1 in a surround sound system, we recommend selecting a fixed level on the sub and adjusting
the subwoofer output using the surround (pre-) amplifier’s setup function.
If bass levels are set too high, distortion will reduce the quality of your listening experience.
Remember that you can boost the bass level by selecting a physical position close to the wall or
even better – in a corner (see chapter “3.0 Positioning”).
5.3 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT
Once you have set the phase and the volume level, you need to adjust the overlap between the
main speakers and the DALI FAZON SuB 1.
5.3.1 USING LINE INPUT (MODE SELECTOR SET TO NORMAL)
the crossover frequency adjustment on the subwoofer is only possible when using the LINE
INPut(S) given that the MODE selector is set to NORMAL.
On the rear of the subwoofer, adjust the cROSSOVER button upwards until you can hear the bass is
even with no drop-outs (Frequency range 50-150 Hz). Smaller speakers typically require a higher
crossover point, whereas larger speakers will accept a lower crossover point. When connecting
your DALI FAZON SuB 1 to smaller speakers, e.g. the DALI MOtIF LcR or the DALI FAZON SAt, we
recommend a crossover point of approximately 100 Hz (12 o’clock position).
After having adjusted the crossover frequency you may have to re-adjust the volume to
optimise performance.
5.3.2 USING LFE INPUT (MODE SELECTOR SET TO LFE)
When connecting your DALI FAZON SuB 1 to smaller speakers, e.g. the DALI MOtIF LcR or the
DALI FAZON SAt, we recommend a crossover point of 100 Hz. this must be entered in the menu
system of your (pre-) amplifier. You might need to enter the ‘small’ setting when selecting type of
front speakers in the AV receiver menu.
connecting larger speakers (typically floor-standing front speakers) will allow you to choose a
lower crossover point, and to define your speakers as ‘large’ in the menu system.
If in doubt about the capacity of your speakers, we recommend setting the crossover point quite
high, defining your speakers as small, and finally reducing the crossover point to the lowest
possible position while maintaining an even bass with no drop-outs.
5.4 POWER
the POWER button is the main ON/OFF switch. We recommend switching OFF the subwoofer
when it is not to be used for extended periods. When the POWER button is set to OFF there
will still be voltage inside the subwoofer. If you completely disconnect the subwoofer from the
mains voltage, please be sure to remove the mains plug from the subwoofer. When changing
connections, always disconnect the mains voltage from the subwoofer. We recommend that you
ALWAYS turn OFF the FAZON SuB on the rear side of the subwoofer BEFORE turning off the mains
switch. Be sure that the correct VOLtAGE is selected before switching the POWER ON.
