Be careful not to damage the contents when unpacking the parts (see Figure 1). Check that all
parts are included in the cardboard box (see Table 1). Keep the packaging materials in case your
subwoofer needs to be relocated or serviced.

Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room, the
position of the subwoofer(s) and the main speakers. If positioned near a side or back wall, the
bass will be accentuated. A corner position will accentuate it even more, and we recommend
this position, as it increases the maximum bass output while simultaneously reducing the risk of
overloading your subwoofer.
DALI IKON SUB MK2 features a front-firing woofer and located at the rear side of the subwoofer
is a heat sink, which can become hot when the subwoofer is powered. Prevent the heat sink from
being blocked or covered. Ensure a minimum distance of 5 cm/2” between the heat sink and the
nearest obstacle to secure free airflow around the heat sink.

DALI IKON SUB MK2 has a built-in power amplifier with an active crossover. The inputs of the
subwoofer amplifier should be connected to your stereo or surround sound (pre-) amplifier/
receiver using a RCA cable (sold separately). When changing connections, always disconnect the
mains voltage from the subwoofer to prevent damage.
The subwoofer can be connected to your stereo or surround sound amplifier/receiver in two ways:
1)
LINE input: the signal from the amplifier is low pass filtered inside the subwoofer using
one or both of the LINE INPUTS. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for
connecting to a stereo amplifier/receiver.
2)
LFE input: the signal from the amplifier is filtered inside the amplifier when using the LFE
input connector. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for surround sound
(A/V receiver) Setups.
NOTE:
When the subwoofer is connected to the music/home cinema system, don’t power up the
subwoofer until all other components are “on”.
