Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. [. . . ] In a surround installation, the speakers should be placed in a symmetrical configuration (Figure 8). Figure 7. Surround setup 8 Placement of IKON Vokal The IKON VOKAL center speakers have been specially designed to be positioned close to the large surface of the TV screen - and can be placed either above or below the screen, as required. Whether you position the center speaker above or below your TV, we recommend having the front of the speaker in line with the front of the TV. We recommend fitting the enclosed rubber feet to ensure a stable, vibration-free setup. Figure 9. Placement below TV-screen 9 Wall-mounting the IKON 1 & IKON On Wall DALI IKON 1 There are several placement options for DALI IKON 1: on a stand, on a shelf, on a table-top or wall-mounting. For the best possible sound, we recommend placement with the tweeter module at roughly the same height as your ears when you are seated in your favourite listening position. For wall-mounting of DALI IKON 1, use the builtin bracket on the speaker's rear panel. Mount the included rubber feet on the rear of the speaker to avoid scuffing the wall and to ensure secure mounting. Hang the loudspeaker on a screw that sits firmly in the wall. You must make certain that the screw can bear the weight of the speaker as stated in the technical specifications. The diameter of the screw head should be 8 - 10 mm and the diameter of the screw should be max. DALI IKON ON WALL DALI IKON ON WALL is designed for wall-mounting. Because the loudspeaker can be positioned four different ways, there are four brackets on the rear panel. The speaker can be used as front, rear, side or center loudspeaker. If used as center loudspeaker, it can be placed above or below the TVscreen. For wall-mounting, follow the instructions above for DALI IKON 1. Figure 12. Wall-mounting IKON 1 On the rear panel of DALI IKON ON WALL, there are four indentations to make room for loudspeaker cable between the speaker and the wall. This allows you to run cable along either side up or down depending on what works best for you. 10 Connection Correct, tight connections to your amplifier are extremely important for your listening experience. Before connecting cables or changing any connections, ALWAYS turn off your 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 (Figure 14). If the LFE input terminal is selected, the crossover network in IKON SUB is not active. The LFE input terminal should therefore only be used together with a special subwoofer output terminal in which the signal has already been filtered, so the subwoofer only receives the lowest frequencies. Figure 17.

[. . . ] For floor models it is essential that you use the accompanying spikes. 17 Power and acoustic pressure How loud a speaker is able to play and still sound good is completely dependent on the signal it has to reproduce. So, in practice, you cannot define an unequivocal level for use in comparing different speakers. in the system. So, DALI recommends that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position, and you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers. Ensuring that you keep the volume low enough so Obviously, lots of pure, undistorted output from a large amplifier is better than a distorted signal from a small amplifier stretched beyond its capacity.
