Connection
The connection to your amplifi er is extremely important for your sound experi-
ence. Before you connect cables or make any changes to the connections, you
must disconnect your amplifi er from AC-power.
Always use the same type and length of cable for the left and right speakers. This
class of speaker should be connected with very high quality cables such as DALI
®
Wave or Wasatch. Using inferior cables is like putting low cost tyres on a full-
blooded sports car. As an alternative to direct installation in the terminal screws,
the cables can also be connected to the terminals with special plugs such as DALI
®
connect to ensure a stable connection and loss-free transfer of the signal.
A detail often overlooked is connection to the correct polarity, i.e. the red termi-
nal (+) on the amplifi er must be connected to the red terminal (+) on the speaker,
and the black terminal (-) on the amplifi er must be connected to the black termi-
nal (-) on the speaker.
