BREAK-IN

Like any mechanical system (e.g. like a new car),
a loudspeaker requires a “break-in” period to
perform at its best. You will experience a gradual
increase in sound quality during the first period of
use. The break-in period will vary depending on
use and playback volume (approximately 50
hours at medium volume is recommended).
Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of
a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular
playback of music.

WARNING

NEVER place the DALI MOTIF LCR with the front facing
down,as this will cause deformation of the silk dome
tweeter, which may damage its performance.
