THE LISTENING ROOM
Your DALI loudspeakers have been designed to
convert the incoming electrical signal to acoustic
energy as accurately as possible. But speakers
are only one link in the audio chain which begins
with the quality of the recorded material, turntable/
DVD etc., interconnects, the amplifier, speaker
cables and finally ends with the listening room
itself.
Loudspeakers perform best in rooms with normal
furnishings such as bookshelves, flowers, vases,
and soft furniture. Removing a vase, opening a
curtain slightly or moving a chair a few inches can
actually make a big difference. Try to avoid large,
hard, flat surfaces near the speakers.
If the sound is on the bright side, closing curtains
may help. The heavier the curtain, the greater the
effect. Rugs or carpets will damp unwanted
reflections from a hardwood floor.
The quality and quantity of bass depend on the
size and shape of the room. Experiment with
various positions. Bass will be reinforced by
placement near side or rear walls, so, naturally,
corner placement offers substantial bass boost.
Find the position that offers the best balance of
sound for your room and musical tastes.
When you have found the best position, make
certain that the loudspeaker is perfectly level and
cannot rock back and forth. Spikes may be used
to couple the speaker more effectively to the floor.
Spikes are especially recommended on surfaces
with thick carpeting. Spikes will generally tighten
up bass response and sharpen up the focus of
the stereo image.
