In this section, we guide you
through placing your DALI EPIKORE
loudspeakers in your listening room.
You’ll likely need to make position
adjustments as you become
familiar with the performance of
the speakers, so you may need to
revisit the spike feet adjustment
steps described in the previous
paragraph.
The sound of any loudspeaker
is influenced by the space and
position in which it’s located. Even
small changes in position can
significantly influence the sound.
Changes to a room, such as laying
a rug or closing a pair of heavy
curtains, can also have an eect.
5. Positioning your loudspeakers
Diagram 1: Positioning guidelines
Finding the optimal listening positionPositioning your loudspeakers
Position your EPIKORE loud-
speakers 3 to 5 metres (118 to
196 inches) apart, well away from
corners in the room and 35 -
120cm (13.7 - 47.2 inches) from the
rear wall. The distance between
the loudspeakers and the rear
wall is where you’re likely to make
adjustments as you become more
familiar with their performance in
your room.
The primary listening position
should be located centrally
between the loudspeakers, at
approximately the same distance
as that between the loudspeakers
(Diagram 1).
As DALI loudspeakers are designed
to oer wide acoustic dispersion,
we recommend that you avoid
angling (or toeing-in) your DALI
EPIKORE loudspeakers towards
the listening position.
Try to position each DALI
EPIKORE loudspeaker in an
acoustically similar environment.
Curtains, windows, bookcases
and other nearby objects can all
aect a loudspeaker’s acoustic
performance.
If you move your loudspeakers
closer to a wall boundary, the
low frequency elements of your
music are likely to become more
prominent. Although this might
initially appear to improve the
sound, it can be at the expense of
musical clari and accuracy.
EPIKORE 3 - standmounted:
For stand mounting the EPIKORE 3 loudspeakers, we recommend the
EPIKORE STAND which can be bought as an accessory.
