Connecting Concept SUB
gpgp
When
y
ou complement
y
our stereo or surround sound s
y
stem with the
Suite series subwoo
f
er, Concept SUB, with active crossover network and
amplifi er, you have two different connection options: connection to a sur-
r
ound ampli
er subwoo
f
er output terminal, or to a stereo ampli
er line
out
p
ut termina
l
.
Connection to surround am
p
lifi er with
separate subwoo
f
er output terminal (Fig. 6)
If
you want to use Concept SUB
f
or reproduction o
f
the special subwoo
f
er
s
ignal from a surround amplifi er with separate subwoofer output termi-
n
al, connect this to the LFE input terminal on Concept SUB
.
If
the LFE input terminal is selected, the crossover network in Concept SUB
i
s not active. The LFE input terminal should therefore only be used together
with a special subwoofer output terminal in which the si
g
nal has alread
y
b
een
ltered, so the subwoo
f
er only receives the lowest
f
requencies.

If in doubt: Ask your DALI dealer for advice.
C
onnection to a stereo pre-amplifi er (Fi
g
. 7
)
If
y
ou want to use Concept SUB to supplement the bass reproduction of
a
stereo s
y
stem, connect the subwoo
f
er "Line in, Le
f
t/Ri
g
ht" to a stereo
signal on the pre-amplifi er with full frequency content. The built-in cros
-
sover network in Concept SUB then ensures that the subwoo
f
er onl
y
repro
-
d
uces the lowest frequencies (see section on adjustments on page 11).
In most cases you wi
ll
ac
h
ieve exce
ll
ent resu
l
ts wit
h
one Concept SUB. It is
possible as a no-compromise stereo solution, or
f
or reproduction o
f
ver
y
powerful sound pressure in a surround set-up in large rooms, to use two
Concept SUB. This solution is connected in the same wa
y
, but for stereo
you should only connect the le
f
t-hand channel to one input terminal on
the left-hand Concept SUB and the ri
g
ht-hand channel to one input termi
-
nal on the right-hand Concept SUB. For a surround set-up, parallel the LFE
-
i
n
p
uts of the two Conce
p
t SUB. In all other res
p
ects, follow the instructions
a
bove - but use separate channels. You ma
y
wish to consult
y
our dealer.
Note: When usin
g
two Concept SUB, the best results are normall
y
achie
-
v
ed by positioning the two subwoofers relatively close to each other (1 - 2
metres
).

You can infl uence the acoustics of your listening room in many ways.
E
very room has its own distinctive acoustics, which infl uence the way we
experience the sound from a speaker. In actual fact, it's a matter of how
the room accommodates the sound and then dampens it. You can in
u
-
ence the acoustics of
y
our listenin
g
room in various wa
y
s.
S
ome of the sound you hear comes not from the actual speakers but from
re
ections
f
rom
oor, ceilin
g
and walls. These re
ections are dampened
by objects such as furniture, plants and carpets. If the sound is bright, soft
i
tems such as curtains and carpets can help. I
f
the room has lar
g
e window
panes, drawing the curtains will prevent refl ections from the glass sur
-
f
aces.
B
oth the amount and qualit
y
of the deep bass depend on the size and
shape o
f
the room, and the position o
f
the speakers. I
f
positioned near
a si
d
e or
b
ac
k
wa

, t
h
is wi

h
e
b
ass. A corner
l
ocation wi
ll
accentuate it even more
,
but will also increase the re
ections. The decision
i
s yours, so experiment with different positions to fi nd which provides the
i
deal sound
f
or
y
ou.
A
s a basic rule, tr
y
to avoid lar
g
e, hard and refl ective areas in the imme
-
diate vicinity o
f
your loudspeakers. In the same way that a mirror re
ects
l
i
g
ht, the
y
will refl ect sound from the speakers in almost full stren
g
th but
w
ith a slight delay due to the relatively low speed o
f
sound. This will dis
-
turb the precision and spacial effect of sound reproduction. Try hanging a
so
f
t textile sur
f
ace behind the speaker, place a ru
g
in
f
ront o

as to repro

d
e
ne an unequivocal level

or use in comparin

Obviously, lots of pure, undistorted output
f
rom a lar
g
e amplifi er is better than a distorted
signal
f
rom a small ampli
er stretched beyond
its capacit
y
. The si
g
nal from a distortin
g
(clip-
ping) ampli
er contains much more high-
f
requency information than an undistorted
si
g
nal, and there
f
ore puts a heav
y
strain on
t
h
e tweeter. Consequent

It is worth notin
g
that when the tone controls
a
re turned above the neutral setting this signi
-
cantly burdens both speakers and amplifi er.
On a

recommends that the tone controls

Ensurin

that

DALI - more than meets the eye
Your DALI speakers have been desi
g
ned on the basis of a lon
g
succession
o
f
technical solutions based on many years' intensive development work.
Most of this is not seen - but it can be heard and experienced, includin
g:
An even frequency response ensures t
h
at your DALI spea
k
ers repro
d
uce
all tones and kinds o
f
music
f
aith
f
ull
y
and without emphasis.
S
ound distribution and correct timin

re amon
g
DALI's specialities, as
all DALI speakers are designed for optimum performance in a real home
environment and not
j
ust in a speciall
y
-constructed listenin
g
room. The
p
er
f
ect timing in the sound reproduction ensures that a light beat on a
s
nare drum, for example, is reproduced as the li
g
ht, sharp tap that it reall
y
i
s - without the drums
lling and muddying the sound image
.
Low loss in movable parts
m
eans that the speakers can reproduce ver
y
ne details, even at low sound levels.
