Unpacking

Running-in

Running-in

Like any other mechanical system, a speaker needs to be "run in", so you can look

forward to a gradual improvement in sound quality over the initial period. Unlike

other mechanical systems, regular use will in fact extend your loudspeakers life-

time.

Unpacking

After unpacking and setting up the equipment in the most suitable way, the

enclosed spikes should be mounted (MS5, MS4 and AS2). The thread bushings are

embedded in the base. After mounting, tighten the lock nuts to ensure the best

possible mechanical stability.

DALI® recommends the use of spikes for  oor-standing speakers to ensure the

best possible acoustic connection between  oor and speaker.

Positioning

MS5 og MS4

Positioning EUPHONIA MS5/MS4

The ideal location for the speakers is perpendicular to the back wall.

They should be located so that the distance between them is equivalent

to the distance from the speakers to the listening position. Angling the

speakers towards the listening position is not recommended unless the

distance between the speakers is very large.

As the bass re ex system’s ports are located on the rear of the speakers,

the distance between the back wall and the bass re ex ports should be

at least 25 cm /10 inch, preferably more.

DALI® EUPHONIA speakers are able to create fantastic stereo image that

guarantees a unique three-dimensional acoustic experience, even if you

do not position yourself in the optimum listening position, where there

is a zero time displacement in the signal from the two speakers. You will

experience extraordinary sound results with your DALI speakers wher-

ever you position them, but for critical listening we advise you to follow

the guidelines above.

Ultimately, you are the judge. Experiment with the location of the

speakers and you will discover that even small changes in the location

can bring about huge changes in the acoustic image - particularly in the

three-dimensional experience of the sound.

Positioning

Positioning EUPHONIA RS3

The Euphonia RS3 is suspended on the rear or side wall

using the enclosed  ttings, which allow horizontal

and vertical angling of the RS3. It is important to

angle the tweeter module towards the listening

position to ensure the widest possible frequency

range.

Positioning EUPHONIA AS2

Adjustment options make it possible to integrate the AS2 even when it is

located somewhere other than centrally between the two front speakers. The

best location, however, will always be with the AS2 positioned together with

(under) the CS4 central speaker, if this is possible.

Positioning EUPHONIA CS4

Set up the CS4 on the dedicated base and tilt the speaker front towards the

listening position due to the vertically directional treble sound. Wave-lenghts

are very short in the highest frequency range, and a slightly mis-adjusted angle

can reduce the experience of genuine airiness in the reproduction. Maintain a

minimum distance of 10 cm/4 inch to the back wall so that the bass re ex ports

on the rear of the unit function optimally.
