Connection - Dali EPICON Handbuch

UK DE JP CN FR
3.2 DALI EPICON 2
The speaker can be positioned on a stand or shelf. The enclosed rubber bumpers can be
mounted under the speaker for stable and vibration free positioning, see Figure 6.
EPICON 2 should be positioned minimum 25 cm (10") from the rear wall.
3.3 DALI EPICON VOKAL
EPICON VOKAL is the dedicated centre channel and has been specially designed to be positioned
close to the large surface of the TV screen. You can place it above or below the screen, on a
stand or on a shelf. We recommend fitting the enclosed feet to ensure a stable, vibration-free
setup (see Figure 9). EPICON VOKAL can be positioned close to the wall.

4.0 CONNECTION

Correct, tight connections to your amplifier are extremely important for your listening experience.
Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels. We recommend using
special speaker cables from DALI, available from your dealer.
Connection in correct phase is a detail that is often ignored. The red (+) terminal of the amplifier
must be connected to the red (+) terminal of the loudspeaker. The black (-) terminal of the
amplifier must be connected to the black (-) terminal of the loudspeaker (see figure 7D). Even
a single loudspeaker connected out-of-phase in a stereo or surround installation will make the
bass weaker and the stereo image unfocused.
For the optimal listening experience, the right loudspeaker (as seen from the listening position)
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked "R" or "Right". The left loudspeaker
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked "L" or "Left".
NOTE: Before connecting cables, connect the two pairs of terminals with the included terminal
links (see Figure 7A+7B+7C)
NOTE: Before connecting cables or changing any connections, ALWAYS turn off your amplifier.
NOTE: Make sure that the bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose
wires which could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier (see figure 8).
NOTE: If you are using DALI EPICON speakers in a surround system, follow the instructions
included with your surround amplifier.
4.1 SINGLE-WIRING vs. BI-WIRING/BI-AMPING
Your speakers can be connected by means of a single speaker cable set, when connecting the
two pairs of terminals with the included terminal links (see figure 7D).
However, DALI EPICON speakers are fitted with two pairs of terminals, allowing you the option of
running two sets of cables to each speaker. The top terminal pair is internally connected to the
crossover network's high frequency section. The bottom terminal pair is internally connected to
the crossover network's bass section.
NOTE: When bi-wiring or bi-amping, ALWAYS remove the metal links between the terminals
before connecting cables.
