Unpacking
Unpacking:
Carefully unpack the loudspeakers of the box.
Dependant on which DALI IKON model you have
bought, different accessories comes with the
loudspeaker, which you can read about in the fol-
lowing chapters.
Grille fronts:
The speakers are delivered with the grille fronts
already mounted when you unpack them. If you
wish to remove the grille f ront, loo sen it by gra du-
ally tugging at the 6 metal plungers that hold it
in place. It is important that all 6 are equally loos-
ened before removing the front. Otherwise, the
grille may be damaged.

Spikes:
On some fl oor surfaces and in some rooms,
the use of spikes is a crucial aspect of obtain-
ing the best result. The spikes (included)
should be screwed in loosely in the four
aluminium feet, leaving the spike’s nut only
slightly tightened. Using the screws (included),
mount the feet in the threaded holes in the
bottom of the speaker. Push the feet against the
cabinet before tightening the screw.
Place the loudspeaker upright on its spikes on the
fl oor, so that it stands steadily without rocking.
Tighten the nuts, so that the four spikes sit tightly
in the aluminium feet. These assembly and setup
steps ensure stable mechanical coupling to the
surface beneath.
Rubber feet:
The enclosed rubber feet may be used instead
of spikes. The rubber feet can be mounted on
the aluminium feet over the thread holes for the
spikes.

Break-in
Like any mechanical system, a loudspeaker
requires a “break-in” period. You will experience
a gradual increase in sound quality during an ini-
tial period. Unlike other mechanical systems, the
lifespan of a loudspeaker is increased by regular
use.
Setup - wide dispersion
DALI IKON is a prime exponent of one of the many
virtues that have made DALI famous worldwide
– Wide Dispersion.
Wide Dispersion means that the area in front of the
loudspeakers where a full stereo image is achieved
is a great deal wider than with other loudspeak-
ers. This ensures substantially better sound across
a larger area within your listening room.
Figure 5. DALI IKON b ass driver
To take full advantage of DALI IKON’s Wide Dis-
persion, the loudspeakers should face straight
ahead and not be angled in towards the listening
position unless the two loudspeakers are placed
very far apart.
The IKON tweeter module is especially developed
for this loudspeaker. Its unique design ensures that
Wide Dispersion is more than just a name – you
can tell the difference.
