Connection; Bi-Wiring - Mentor 2 And 6 - Dali MENTOR 6 Handbuch

CONNECTION

Correct, tight connections to your amplifier are
extremely important for your listening experience�
Before connecting cables or changing any connec-
tions, ALWAYS turn off your amplifier�
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�
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�" Even a single loudspeaker
connected out-of-phase in a stereo or surround
installation will make the bass weaker and the
stereo image unfocused�

Amplifier connections
If you are using DALI MENTOR in a surround system,
follow the instructions included with your surround
amplifier�
Make sure that the conductors are tightly gripped by
the terminals with no loose wires that could cause a
short circuit and damage the amplifier�
The DALI MENTOR terminals are well-suited to
plugs� We recommend DALI Connect Banana Plugs�

BI-WIRING - MENTOR 2 AND 6

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� When bi-wiring
or bi-amping, ALWAYS remove the metal jumpers
between the terminals before connecting cables� For
bi-wiring, connect two sets of loudspeaker cable,
one to the top terminals and one to the bottom
terminals� At the amplifier end, connect both sets of
loudspeaker cables to the same pair of terminals on
the amplifier�
