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. 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 4).
NOTE: If you are using DALI ALtEcO in a surround system, follow the instructions included with
your surround amplifier.

Like any mechanical system, a loudspeaker requires a "running-in" period to perform at its
best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. the
break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume. You should expect up to 100
hours of playback until maximum performance is reached. unlike other mechanical systems,
the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.

clean the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinets are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in
all-purpose cleaner and then well wrung out. Be very careful when wiping the speaker cones,
as they are very fragile. front grilles can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with a
wellwrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner.
6.1 AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT:
the surfaces of the speakers may fade or become discoloured over time when exposed to
direct sunlight. therefore avoid positioning the speakers in direct sunlight.
