The Listening Room; Technical Specifications - Dali OPTICON Manuel D'utilisation

9.0 THE LISTENING ROOM

Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience sound
from a speaker. The sound you hear consists of direct sound from the speakers and reflected
sound from the floor, ceiling and walls. The latter will affect how you experience the sound.
As a basic rule, try to avoid large, hard and reflective areas in the immediate vicinity of your
loudspeakers as it will typically cause strong reflections, which might disturb the precision and
spatial effect of the sound reproduction. Reflection might be suppressed by positioning e.g. a
plant between the speaker and the reflecting surface. Soft items such as carpets, curtains etc.
might help if the sound is too bright. Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on
the size and shape of the room, and the position of the speakers. Positioning the speakers near
a side or back wall will accentuate the bass. A corner location will accentuate it even more, but
will also increase the reflections.

10.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In Table 2 you will find the most common specifications for our speakers. Please have in mind
that there are countless methods for measuring speakers. However, none of them tell you
anything useful about how a speaker really sounds. Only your ears can decide whether one
speaker sounds better than another. Like all our speakers, DALI OPTICON series is designed to
reproduce music as honestly as possible.
Enjoy your new DALI OPTICON!
