4.1 STEREO CONNECTIONS
If you want to use DALI IKON SUB MK2 in a stereo setup, your stereo (pre-) amplifier/receiver
should have either a set of stereo RCA line outputs or a mono RCA line output available (please
refer to the instruction manual of your stereo (pre-)amplifier/receiver). The line output connector(s)
of your stereo (pre-)amplifier/receiver must be connected to the LINE INPUT connectors (L+R) of
the subwoofer via one or two RCA cables (sold separately).
4.2 SURROUND SOUND CONNECTIONS
4.2.1 LINE INPUT
Use the LINE INPUT connectors L or R if you want to adjust the subwoofer Frequency output using
the DALI IKON SUB MK2 crossover button.
To use this option, connect the subwoofer output connector(s) of your surround sound (pre-)
amplifier/receiver with the LINE INPUT connectors on the subwoofer using a RCA cable (sold
separately). If the surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver has only one subwoofer output
connector, connect it to the LINE INPUT L connector (white) of the subwoofer using a RCA cable.
Please refer to chapter “5.0 Installing and Adjusting” for instructions on how to make
the adjustments.
4.2.2 LFE INPUT
Use the LFE input connector (red), if you want to adjust the subwoofer output from your surround
sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver. When the LFE input connector is used the built-in crossovers are
bypassed and the crossover frequency adjustment button will not be functioning.
To use this option, connect the surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver subwoofer output to the
LFE input connector on the DALI IKON SUB MK2 with a RCA cable (sold separately).
Please refer to the instruction manual of your surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver on how to
adjust the crossover settings.
4.3 USING TWO SUBWOOFERS
In most cases you will achieve excellent results with one DALI IKON SUB MK2. Use of two
subwoofers is possible as a no-compromise stereo solution, or for reproduction of very powerful
sound pressures in a stereo or surround setup in larger rooms.
The connections are basically the same as stated in previous chapters, but for stereo you should
only connect the left channel output connector of your stereo or surround (pre-) amplifier/receiver
to the LINE INPUT L connector on the DALI IKON SUB MK2 placed to the left in your room. In a
similar way you should connect the right channel output connector of your stereo or surround
(pre-)amplifier/receiver to the LINE INPUT R connector on the DALI IKON SUB MK2 placed to the
right in your room.
For a surround setup, split the output signal from your surround sound (pre)amplifier/receiver
using a RCA splitter (sold separately) and connect the two outputs. In all other respects, follow the
instructions above - but use separate channels. Please consult your authorised DALI dealer if you
have further questions.
