1.0 OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations with your new fine speakers. Please read this manual thoroughly before

unpacking and installing your new speakers to get the most out of your purchase.You can find more

information on our website: www.dali.dk or by contacting your authorized DALI dealer.

2.0 UNPACKING

Be careful not to damage the contents when you unpack the parts. Check that all parts are

contained in the cardboard box, see Table 1. Keep the packaging materials should your speaker

need to be relocated or serviced.

3.0 MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the speaker surfaces can be done with ordinary household cleaning agents. Avoid using

products that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali or anti-bacterial agents. Avoid using aerosols.

Avoid using cleaning agents directly on the drive units and clean them with extreme care, particularly

the tweeter. The grille fabric may be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or a normal clothes brush.

4.0 AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT

The surfaces of the speakers may fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore avoid

positioning the speakers in direct sunlight.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION AND DISPOSAL

DALI products are designed to meet the international directives concerning Restriction of Hazardous

Substances (RoHS) and disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The waste

symbol indicates that the speakers meet the directives, see Figure 1. The speakers must be

processed or recycled appropriately. Please consult your local waste authority for guidance.

6.0 RUNNING-IN

You should expect the sound quality from your new speakers to gradually improve during the first

period of use. Nothing particular has to be done in order to run in the speakers – but expect up to

100 hours of playback (depending on playback level) before full performance level is reached.

7.0 SPEAKER SETUP AND POSITIONING

7.1 LEKTOR 1/2/3/LCR

The speakers can be positioned on a stand/shelf or hung on a wall using the integrated wall

bracket(s). If positioned on a stand or shelf, the enclosed rubber bumpers can be mounted under

the speaker for stable and vibration free positioning, see Figure 2A. If hung on a wall, mount the

bumpers on the rear edge of the speakers, see Figure 2B. The speakers are hung on a wall using

one or two screw(s) mounted in the wall. The screw(s) must fit the wall bracket(s) on the rear side

of the speaker, see Figure 2C. LEKTOR LCR can be hung vertically if used as left/right/rear

speaker, or horizontally if used as center channel speaker. If used as an on-wall center channel, two

screws must be used to hang the speaker, see Figure 2D.

7.2 LEKTOR 6/8/SUB

The speakers are designed to stand on the floor. LEKTOR 6 and 8 can be used with spikes (Metric

M8 thread), or rubber bumpers under the speakers, see Figure 2A/3. Be careful not to over tighten

the locking nuts. Spikes or rubber bumpers can improve the sound quality. You can try both to hear

what gives the best sound quality in your setup. Please be aware, that spikes may damage the floor,

if it is not protected by e.g. coins under the spikes.

8.0 MAGNETIC SHIELDING

The speaker drive units produce a magnetic field which may interfere with CRT televisions/

monitors, hard drives, audio and video tapes as well as swipe cards etc. Therefore keep such items

away from the speakers to avoid damage.

9.0 POSITIONING

To achieve the best results, the loudspeaker setup should be symmetrical round your favorite

listening position (except for LEKTOR SUB), see Figure 4A - C.We recommend that you experiment

with the position of your loudspeakers – the sound quality will change depending on the

loudspeaker position. For LEKTOR 1/2/3/LCR, the speakers should ideally be positioned, so that the

height of the tweeter is approximately at ear height when seated in your favorite listening position.

LEKTOR 6, 8 and SUB are designed as floor standing speakers.They should be positioned minimum

10 – 20 cm (4 – 8”) from the rear wall. Ideally LEKTOR 1/2/LCR are designed to be positioned flat

up against the wall. LEKTOR 3 is designed for both stand mounting and on-wall positioning flat up

against the wall.

Objects positioned between the speaker and listening position might negatively affect sound

quality. The speakers are designed to meet our wide dispersion principle, so they should not be

angled towards the listening position, but be positioned parallel with the rear wall, see Figure 4D.

By parallel positioning, the distortion in the main listening area will be lowered and the room

integration will be better. The wide dispersion principle will also ensure that sound is spread

evenly within a large area in the listening room.

Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience sound from

a speaker.The sound you hear consists of direct sound from the speakers and reflected sound from

the floor, ceiling and walls. The latter will affect how you experience the sound.

As a basic rule, try to avoid large, hard and reflective areas in the immediate vicinity of your

loudspeakers as it will typically cause strong reflections, which might disturb the precision and

spatial effect of the sound reproduction. Reflection might be suppressed by positioning e.g. a plant

between the speaker and the reflecting surface. Soft items such as carpets, curtains etc. might help

if the sound is too bright.

Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room, and the

position of the speakers. Positioning the speakers near a side or back wall will accentuate the bass.

A corner location will accentuate it even more, but will also increase the reflections.

10.0 CONNECTION

Always turn off your amplifier/subwoofer before connecting any cables or altering any connections.

We recommend using special speaker and signal cables. Consult your authorized DALI dealer for

guidance on selection of speaker and signal cables. Use same type cable for all speakers in the

setup (except for the subwoofer). Make sure to connect the correct amplifier output to the correct

speaker – see Figure 5A - C for stereo/surround sound setups. Make sure to connect the positive

amplifier output terminal (red) to the positive speaker input terminal (red) and the negative

amplifier output terminal (black) to the negative speaker input terminal (black), see Figure 6. If just

one speaker is incorrectly connected, the bass might be weak and the overall sound might be diffuse.

Make sure that there are no loose cable strands/ends which potentially can short circuit and damage

the amplifier, see Figure 7. The binding posts accept bare cable ends or 4mm banana plugs.

11.0 LEKTOR SUB

LEKTOR SUB is an active subwoofer with built-in amplifier. On the bottom of the subwoofer there is

a bass reflex port opening. Make sure that the rubber feet will make clearance between the floor

and the bottom of the subwoofer, so that air can flow freely from the bass reflex port. On the rear

side of the subwoofer you will find the amplifier (see Figure 8), which have the following features:

1) Line In L + R, connect your stereo or surround sound amplifier to these inputs using

a RCA cable (sold separately).Adjustment of “Phase”,“Crossover” and “Volume” must

be done on the subwoofer. You might also want to use connection through the

LFE input (see point 2).

2) LFE In, connect your surround sound amplifier to this input using a RCA cable

(sold separately). Adjustment of “Crossover” must be done in the surround

sound amplifier.

3) Auto selector: On: the subwoofer is always on when the power switch (9) is on.

Auto: the subwoofer will power up upon detection of an input signal on the

“Line In” inputs (1 + 2). The subwoofer will power down after approximately 20

minutes with no input signal present on the input connectors. Off: the subwoofer

will be powered down.

4) “Volume” adjustment: Start adjusting the volume of your subwoofer so the bass level

matches the level from the main speakers (with the Crossover (5) knob in the middle

position and Phase switch (6) in the 180° setting). Adjust the level so the contribution

from the subwoofer is firm and precise - but without the bass being too dominant.

If you adjust the volume level too high, your total sound experience may be disturbed

by distortion. Remember that the location of the subwoofer/listening position has a

major effect on the sound pressure you experience.

5) “Crossover” adjustment: adjust the overlap between the subwoofer and the main

speakers by adjusting "Crossover" up and down until you hear the bass is smooth

and without "holes". You may need to readjust the Volume setting (4) slightly

after this adjustment.

6) “Phase” switch, 0˚ or 180˚: adjust subwoofer phase to match the main speakers in

the speaker setup – try both settings to determine which setting sounds best. It might

be necessary to readjust both Volume level (4) and Crossover (5) again.

7) Mains cable connector: check that the voltage written below the mains connector

matches your mains voltage.

8) Fuse compartment: If the subwoofer does not power up, check that the fuse in the

fuse compartment is not blown. If blown, replace the fuse with the same type as

the original. If the fuse blows multiple times, have your subwoofer serviced at

an authorized service facility.

9) “Power” switch: powers the subwoofer on or off. Power off the subwoofer if it

is not used for extended periods. Always power off the subwoofer when

changing connection(s).

10) Heat sink: do not cover! Caution - can be hot!

To connect the subwoofer to your stereo or surround sound system, please consult the

owner’s manual for your stereo/surround sound amplifier to locate a subwoofer output terminal

or a pre-out output terminal. The subwoofer must be connected to the amplifier using a RCA

cable (sold separately).

There are two primary connection options:

A) Connect the subwoofer to a stereo amplifier

Connect the output terminal(s) of the stereo amplifier to the

“Line Input L + R” connectors on the subwoofer amplifier.

B) Connect the subwoofer to a surround sound amplifier

Connect the subwoofer/LFE output terminal on the surround sound

amplifier to “LFE Input” terminal on the subwoofer amplifier.

12.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In Table 2 (see page 24) you will find most common specifications for our speakers. Please do

remember, that the sound quality from a speaker cannot be judged by technical specifications. To

compare the different speakers, we recommend you to listen to the different speakers in question.
