THE LISTENING ROOM

Your DALI loudspeakers have been designed to

convert the incoming electrical signal to acoustic

energy as accurately as possible. But speakers

are only one link in the audio chain which begins

with the quality of the recorded material, turntable/

DVD  etc.,  interconnects,  the  amplifier,  speaker

cables  and  finally  ends  with  the  listening  room

itself.

Loudspeakers perform best in rooms with normal

furnishings such as bookshelves, flowers, vases,

and soft furniture. Removing a vase, opening a

curtain slightly or moving a chair a few inches can

actually make a big difference. Try to avoid large,

hard, flat surfaces near the speakers.

If the sound is on the bright side, closing curtains

may help. The heavier the curtain, the greater the

effect.  Rugs  or  carpets  will  damp  unwanted

reflections from a hardwood floor.

The quality and quantity of bass depend on the

size  and  shape  of  the  room.  Experiment  with

various  positions.  Bass  will  be  reinforced  by

placement near side or rear walls, so, naturally,

corner placement offers substantial bass boost.

Find the position that offers the best balance of

sound for your room and musical tastes.

When  you  have  found  the  best  position,  make

certain that the loudspeaker is perfectly level and

cannot rock back and forth. Spikes may be used

to couple the speaker more effectively to the floor.

Spikes are especially recommended on surfaces

with thick carpeting. Spikes will generally tighten

up bass response and sharpen up the focus of

the stereo image.
