3.5 DALI IKON ON-WALL
DALI IKON ON-WALL is designed exclusively for wall-mounting. the front baffle is tilted for optimal
angling relative to the listening position. therefore this speaker can be positioned in four different
ways: Mounted as front, rear, or side speaker to the left or right of the listening position it will be
slightly pointed towards your listening position; mounted as a centre speaker below the tV screen
it will point slightly upwards, and mounted as a centre speaker above the tV screen it will point
slightly downwards (see figure 6). Because the loudspeaker can be positioned in four different
ways, there are four brackets on the rear panel (see figure 7). Only one of these brackets should
be used.
On the rear panel of DALI IKON ON-WALL, there are four indentations to make room for the
loudspeaker cable between the speaker and the wall. this allows you to run the cable along either
side up or down depending on what works best for you.

For positioning the IKON SuB, please refer to chapter 9.1.

correct, tight connections to your amplifier are extremely important for your listening experience.
Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels. We recommend using
special speaker cables from DALI, available from your dealer.
connection in correct phase is a detail that is often ignored. the red (+) terminal of the amplifier
must be connected to the red (+) terminal of the loudspeaker. the black (-) terminal of the
amplifier must be connected to the black (-) terminal of the loudspeaker (see figure 9A). Even a
single loudspeaker connected out-of-phase in a stereo or surround installation will make the bass
weaker and the stereo image unfocused.
For the optimal listening experience, the right loudspeaker (as seen from the listening position)
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked “R” or “Right”. the left loudspeaker
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked “L” or “Left”.
NOTE:
Before connecting cables or changing any connections, ALWAYS turn off your amplifier.
NOTE:
Make sure that the bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose wires
which, could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier (see figure 8).
NOTE:
If you are using DALI IKON in a surround system, follow the instructions included with your
surround amplifier.
4.1 SINGLE-WIRING vs. BI-WIRING/BI-AMPING
All DALI IKON speakers can be connected by means of a single speaker cable (see figure 9A + 9B).
However, DALI IKON 2, 5, 6 and 7 are fitted with two pairs of terminals, allowing you the option
of running two sets of cables to each speaker. the top terminal pair is internally connected to the
crossover network’s high frequency section. the bottom terminal pair is internally connected to
the crossover network’s bass section.
