Even small differences in the positioning of
loudspeakers in a room can have significant
impact on performance, especially on soundstage
focus and bass quality.
DALI loudspeakers are capable of exceptional
performance in these and other crucial areas, but
you must experiment with placement in order to
find the optimum position.
Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to
follow, but here are a few guidelines.
There should be no objects between the speakers
and the listening position. Obstructions to the free
passage of sound cause uneven frequency
response and poor stereo imaging.
The distance between the Left and Right speaker
and between each speaker and the central
listening position should be identical. While DALI
loudspeakers provide excellent performance at
positions off to the side, for serious, critical
listening we strongly recommend a central
listening position.
DALI loudspeakers should face directly ahead,
with no toe-in (Fig. 7), this does not apply for cen-
tre and rear cannel speakers.
The DALI Suite centre speaker is specifically
tuned for placement near the large, flat surface
of a TV screen. The DALI centre speaker should
be placed on the supplied support mat directly
upon or on a shelf just below the television with
the speakerîs front edge along the same line as
the TV screen (Fig. 6).
The support mat is designed so the centre channel
speaker can be angled up or down towards the
listening position. The three fins of the support
mat should be oriented towards the rear of the
centre channel speaker.
