Connections
Make sure to turn off all amplifiers before connecting your new speaker to your system.
Connect the cable to the terminal. Use the marking of the cable to ensure that the red or ”+” mark
of the amplifier is connected to the ”+” side of the terminal, also marked with red.
We recommend high quality cables. Ask your dealer for the best cable for your needs.
Power handling
DLS recommends using amplifiers within a specific power range. However, the most important
thing is that the amplifier has sufficient power reserves for handling peaks and transients in the
music signal. The power rating figure of a loudspeaker is a very inprecise figure. Since the energy
in the music signal varies, neither peak nor average value is relevant. A power rating of e.g. 100W
RMS says only that you can play a continuous tone of 1kHz at this output. It does not mean that
you can turn the volume all the way up on a 100W amplifier and expect clear sound and healthy
speakers. The greatest danger to a loudspeaker is distorded signal. Distorsion in the low frequen-
cy range produces overtones in the entire spectrum, with an energy that can easily damage the
tweeter units. And since a more powerful amplifier can play louder without distorsion, we have the
paradox that it is a greater risk to damage speakers by playing loud with a smaller amplifier.
Caution!
If you hear distortion when you increase the volume this is normally a sign of overloading the
amplifier and you should immediately reduce the output level.
Use of loudness, bass or treble
boost increases the risk for harmful distortion in the amplifier. We recommend that you use these
controls with care.
Service
Should your DLS loudspeaker system require service, or if you have difficulty in achieving the
fine performance of which your DLS loudspeaker system is capable, consult your DLS dealer.
Your dealer has the knowledge required to provide expert advice and assistance. In case the
DLS dealer is unable to assist you, you are welcome to contact the DLS Technical Department at:
