Each DALI KORE speaker is fitted 
with two pairs of binding post 
terminals on the connection panel 
located on the rear face of the 
plinth. The upper pair of terminals 
connects to the Balanced Drive 
SMC midrange and EVO-K Hybrid 
Tweeter module, while the lower 
terminal pair connects to the 
Balanced Drive SMC bass drivers.

Included in the Accessory Kit are 
four Terminal Jumpers, which can 
be used to connect the upper and 
lower pairs of binding posts, so that 
only a single twin-core speaker 
cable is required to connect each 
speaker to a single power amplifier. 
If the terminal jumpers are 
removed, two twin-core speaker 
cables will be needed, sharing the 
output from a single power amplifier 
in a “bi-wire” format. 

Diagram 2 shows single-wire, 
bi-wire and bi-amp connection 
formats.

  When bi-wiring or bi-

amping, ALWAYS remove 
the terminal jumpers 
between the terminals 
before connecting the 
speaker cables.

The specification and type of 
speaker cables you use to connect 
your DALI KORE speakers can 
influence their audio performance. 
For best results, use high quality 
cable with a minimum conductor 
cross-sectional area of 2.0 mm

Each speaker cable should be of 
similar length and less than 20 
metres long. Your DALI KORE 
retailer will be happy to offer advice 
on the best speaker cable for your 
setup. 

When connecting your DALI KORE 
speakers to an amplifier, begin by 
connecting the speaker cables to 
the speaker terminals. Ensure that 
the cable wires marked “positive” or 
coloured red are connected to the 
positive (red) speaker terminals, 
and “negative” or black cable wires 
are connected to the negative 
(black) speaker terminals.

The DALI KORE connection 
terminals can accommodate 
stripped cables, 4 mm plugs or 
cable spades. 

Here’s how to connect each type:

• 

Stripped cables: Unscrew the 
speaker terminals fully. Twist 
the stripped cable strands 
together, ensuring there are no 
stray strands, and insert the 
cable into the holes through the 
terminal posts. Finally, tighten the 
terminals down onto the stripped 
cable securely. We recommend 
checking the terminals for 

tightness soon after you first 
tighten them and periodically 
thereafter.

• 

4 mm plugs: Insert the plugs 
directly into the end of the 
speaker terminals. The terminals 
tighten around the plug to 
strengthen the connection 
and minimise the chance of 
mechanical buzzing.

• 

Cable spades: Fully unscrew the 
speaker terminals and position 
each cable spade arm either 
side of a terminal post. Secure 
the cable spades by tightening 
the terminals. We recommend 
checking the terminals for 
tightness soon after you first 
tighten them and periodically 
thereafter.

With cables connected to your 
DALI KORE speakers, they can 
now be connected to the amplifier’s 
output terminals. Ensure the 
amplifier is switched OFF before 
you make any connections.

Connect the cables from the left 
speaker to the amplifier’s left 
channel output terminals, and the 
cables from the right speaker 
to the amplifier’s right channel 
output terminals. Ensure that the 
cable wires marked “positive” or 
coloured red are connected to the 
positive amplifier output terminals, 
and wires marked “negative” or 
coloured black are connected 
to the negative amplifier output 
terminals.
