Overloading

When playing at a loud volume, listen out for possible dissonance and dis-
tortion.    Piano  Forte  is  protected  against  temporary  overloading,  but  if 
you often play at a loud volume, you should use a permanent lower setting 
for the volume level on Piano Forte. If you position Piano Forte in a corner, 
this will increase the bass level. For more information on this, see "Tuning 
Piano Forte".

Once you have connected up your new Piano speakers, you need to begin 
the process of finding the optimum position for your speakers in relation 
to your listening position - and adjusting the surround sound amplifier, if 
applicable. It is worth spending a little time experimenting, as the correct 
setup and tuning will provide a significantly better sound experience. Here 
are some useful pieces of advice:

Avoid placing objects between the speakers and your listening position, as 
obstructions can cause incorrect tonal balance.

Try to ensure that the distance between the left and right speakers is equal 
to the distance from your listening position to the speakers. If you have sur-
round sound, the distance between all the speakers should be symmetrically 
identical (Fig. 8).

DALI  Piano  has  been  designed  using  the  Linear 
Directivity  principle,  which  means  that  the  tonal 
balance will be perfect, even if your listening pos-
ition  is  not  quite  central.  So,  it  is  not  necessary 
to angle the front speakers towards your listening 
position,  unless  the  front  speakers  are  very  far 
apart.
