5.1 PHASE SETTING
The PHASE switch of the subwoofer has 4 settings: 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. The phase setting will
adjust the timing between the subwoofer and the main speakers. To set the phase, do the following:
1) Turn up the volume of your subwoofer a little higher than you would normally do.
2) Set the crossover point to maximum (120 Hz).
NOTE: If you have connected the subwoofer via LFE instead of LINE IN you need to set the
crossover point for your subwoofer to maximum in the menu of your surround sound (pre-)
amplifier/receiver.
3) In your listening position, play music of the type previously described.
4) Press the ‘PHASE’ button and adjust to the desired value using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons.
Toggle between 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, while focusing on the bass output.
The optimal setting of the PHASE switch is where you experience maximum bass output.
5.2 VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
The volume should be adjusted so that the bass matches the level of your main speakers.
Press the ‘VOLUME’ button and adjust to the desired value using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons.
You should be able to appreciate your subwoofer’s contribution to the overall sound, without it
ever being overpowering. Bass must be tight and accurate so that the subwoofer reproduces
the exact amount of bass present in the music/soundtrack; no more, no less. When installing
the DALI SUB P-10 DSS in a surround sound system, we recommend selecting a fixed level
on the subwoofer and adjusting the subwoofer output using the surround (pre-) amplifier’s/
receiver’s setup function.
If bass levels are set too high, distortion will reduce the quality of your listening experience.
Remember that you can boost the bass level by selecting a physical position close to the wall
or even better – in a corner (see chapter “3.0 Positioning”).
5.3 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT
Once you have set the phase and the volume level, you need to adjust the frequency overlap
between the main speakers and the DALI SUB P-10 DSS.
5.3.1 USING LINE INPUT
The crossover frequency adjustment on the subwoofer is only possible when using the
LINE INPUT(S).
Press the ‘CROSSOVER’ button and adjust to the desired value using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons
until you can hear the bass is even with no drop-outs (Frequency range 40-120 Hz). Smaller
speakers typically require a higher crossover point, whereas larger speakers will accept a lower
crossover point. For example when using your DALI SUB P-10 DSS together with DALI EPICON
2, we recommend a crossover point of approximately 80 Hz.
After having adjusted the crossover frequency you may have to re-adjust the volume to
optimize performance.
