5.0 INSTALLING AND ADJuSTING 10

Congratulations on your new DALI SUB K-14 F subwoofer. Please read this manual thoroughly before unpacking and installing the subwoofer in order to get the most from your purchase. You can nd more information on our website: www.dali-speakers.com or by contacting your authorised DALI dealer. Remember to sign up for the DALI newsletter at www.dali-speakers.com. Enjoy!

Be careful not to damage the contents when unpacking the parts. Check that all parts are included in the cardboard box (see Table 1). Keep the packaging materials in case your speaker needs to be relocated or serviced.

Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room, the position of the subwoofer(s) and the main speakers. If positioned near a side or back wall, the bass will be accentuated. A corner position will accentuate it even more, and we recommend this position, as it increases the maximum bass output while simultaneously reducing the risk of overloading your subwoofer. DALI SUB K-14 F features a front-ring woofer, a down-ring bass port and, at the rear side of the subwoofer, an ampliﬁer metal plate which can become hot when the subwoofer is powered. Make sure that the woofer and the bass port are not blocked or covered. Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 5 cm / 2” between the metal plate and the nearest object in the room to secure a free airow. DALI SUB K-14 F can be used with spikes or rubber bumpers under the speakers, see Figure

1. 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 oor.

DALI SUB K-14 F has a built-in power amplier with an active crossover. The inputs of the subwoofer amplier should be connected to your stereo or surround sound (pre-) amplier/ receiver using a RCA cable (sold separately). note: When changing connections, always disconnect the mains voltage from the subwoofer to prevent damage.12 The subwoofer can be connected to your stereo or surround sound amplier/receiver in two ways:

1) LINE input: The signal from the ampliﬁer is low pass ﬁltered inside the subwoofer using

one or both of the LINE INPUTS. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for connecting to a stereo amplier/receiver.

2) LFE input: The signal from the ampliﬁer is already ﬁltered inside the ampliﬁer when using

the LFE input connector. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for surround sound (A/V receiver) setups. note: When the subwoofer is connected to the music/home cinema system, do not power up the subwoofer until all other components are “ON”.

4.1 Stereo connectIonS

If you want to use DALI SUB K-14 F in a stereo setup, your stereo (pre-) amplier/receiver should have either a set of stereo RCA line outputs or a mono RCA line output available (please refer to the instruction manual of your stereo (pre-)amplier/receiver). The line output connector(s) of your stereo (pre-)amplier/receiver must be connected to the LINE INPUT connectors (L+R) of the subwoofer via one or two RCA cables (sold separately).

Use the LINE INPUT connectors L or R if you want to adjust the subwoofer frequency output using the DALI SUB K-14 F crossover control. To use this option, connect the subwoofer output connector(s) of your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver with the LINE INPUT connectors on the subwoofer using an RCA cable (sold separately). If the surround sound (pre-)amplier/receiver has only one subwoofer output connector, connect it to the LINE INPUT L connector (white) of the subwoofer using an RCA cable. Please refer to chapter “5.0 Installing and Adjusting” for instructions on how to make the adjustments.

Use the LFE input connector (black), if you want to adjust the subwoofer output from your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver. When the LFE input connector is used, the built-in crossovers are bypassed and the crossover control will not be functioning. To use this option, connect the surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver subwoofer output to the LFE input connector on the DALI SUB K-14 F with an RCA cable (sold separately). Please refer to the instruction manual of your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver on how to adjust the crossover settings.

4.3 uSInG tWo DaLI SuB K-14 f SuBWooferS

In most cases you will achieve excellent results with one DALI SUB K-14 F. Use of two subwoofers is possible as a no-compromise stereo solution, or for reproduction of very powerful sound pressures in a stereo or surround setup in larger rooms.13 UK DE DK FR CH The connections are basically the same as stated in previous chapters, but for stereo setup you should only connect the left channel output connector of your stereo or surround (pre-) amplier/receiver to the LINE INPUT L connector on the DALI SUB K-14 F placed to the left in your room. In a similar way you should connect the right channel output connector of your stereo or surround (pre-) amplier/receiver to the LINE INPUT R connector on the DALI SUB K-14 F placed to the right in your room. For a surround setup, split the output signal from your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver using a RCA splitter (sold separately) and connect the two outputs. In all other respects, follow the instructions above - but use separate channels. Please consult your authorised DALI dealer if you have further questions.

5.0 INStALLING AND ADJUStING

Start by checking that the voltage of your mains output corresponds to the indication on the back of your DALI SUB K-14 F. (see Figure 2)

WARNING: If the wrong voltage is supplied, there is a serious risk that the electronics of

the subwoofer will suffer permanent damage. After checking the VOLTAGE, connect the mains cable and move the POWER switch to ‘ON’. The subwoofer is adjusted using the controls on the rear side of the subwoofer (see chapter “10.0 Amplier Back Plate”) in accordance with the following tuning method which will help you achieve the best results: Play a piece of music you know well, preferably one including rhythmic bass such as kettle drums, bass guitar etc. Since the performance is highly dependent on the main speakers, the listening room, the subwoofer position in the room and your personal preferences, we recommend experimenting with different settings to achieve the best listening results rather than giving any speciﬁc advice on settings. NOTE: The position of the subwoofer will signiﬁcantly affect its contribution to the overall sound (see chapter “3.0 Positioning”). When you have decided which method of connection you want to use and you have positioned the subwoofer, you can begin the process of tuning the system. You are now ready to adjust your DALI SUB K-14 F.

The PHASE switch of the subwoofer has two settings: 0° or 180°. The phase setting will adjust the timing between the subwoofer and the main speakers. To set the phase, do the following:

1) Turn up the volume of your subwoofer a little higher than you would normally do.

2) Set the crossover point to maximum (120 Hz).

NOTE: If you have connected the subwoofer via LFE instead of LINE IN you need to set the crossover point for your subwoofer to maximum in the menu of your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver.14

3) In your listening position, play music of the type previously described.

4) Toggle between 0° and 180° while focusing on the bass output.

The optimal setting of the PHASE switch is where you experience maximum bass output.

5.2 VoLume aDJuStment

On the rear of the subwoofer you can increase or reduce the volume by turning the VOLUME control clockwise or counter clockwise. The volume should be adjusted so that the bass matches the level of your main speakers. You should be able to appreciate your subwoofer’s contribution to the overall sound, without it ever being overpowering. Bass must be tight and accurate so that the subwoofer reproduces the exact amount of bass present in the music/soundtrack; no more, no less. When installing the DALI SUB K-14 F in a surround sound system, we recommend selecting a xed level on the subwoofer and adjusting the subwoofer output using the surround (pre-) amplier’s/receiver’s setup function. If bass levels are set too high, distortion will reduce the quality of your listening experience. Remember that you can boost the bass level by selecting a physical position close to the wall or even better – in a corner (see chapter “3.0 Positioning”).

5.3 croSSoVer freQuency aDJuStment

Once you have set the phase and the volume level, you need to adjust the frequency overlap between the main speakers and the DALI SUB K-14 F.

5.3.1 USING LINE INPUT

The crossover frequency adjustment on the subwoofer is only possible when using the LINE INPUT(S). On the rear of the subwoofer, adjust the CROSSOVER control upwards until you can hear the bass is even with no drop-outs (Frequency range 40-120 Hz). Smaller speakers typically require a higher crossover point, whereas larger speakers will accept a lower crossover point. For example when using your DALI SUB K-14 F together with DALI ZENSOR 1, we recommend a crossover point of approximately 90 Hz. After having adjusted the crossover frequency you may have to re-adjust the volume to optimise performance.

5.3.2 USING LFE INPUT

When connecting your DALI SUB K-14 F to smaller speakers, e.g. the DALI ZENSOR 1, we recommend a crossover point of approximately 90 Hz. This must be entered in the menu system of your (pre-) amplier. You might need to enter the ‘small’ setting when selecting type of front speakers in the AV receiver menu. Connecting larger speakers (typically oor-standing front speakers) will allow you to choose a lower crossover point, and to dene your speakers as ‘large’ in the menu system. If in doubt about the capacity of your speakers, we recommend setting the crossover point quite high, dening your speakers as small, and nally reducing the crossover point to the lowest possible position while maintaining an even bass with no drop-outs.15 UK DE DK FR CH

The POWER switch is the main ON/OFF switch. We recommend switching ‘OFF’ the subwoofer when it is not to be used for extended periods. When changing connections, always disconnect the mains voltage from the subwoofer. We recommend that you ALWAYS turn ‘OFF’ the POWER switch on the rear side of the subwoofer BEFORE turning off the mains switch.

5.5 on / StanD By moDe

The subwoofer has a built-in circuit that will power up the amplier of the subwoofer when an input signal is detected (given that the POWER is set to ‘ON’ and the POWER MODE switch is set to ‘AUTO’). When the subwoofer is ‘ON’, the ON/STANDBY LED will light up green. If an input signal is not detected for approximately 20 minutes, the subwoofer will go into standby mode and the ON/STANDBY LED will light up red.

You should expect the sound quality from your new subwoofer to gradually improve during the initial period of use. Nothing particular has to be done in order to run in the subwoofer – but expect up to 100 hours of playback (depending on playback level) before full performance level is reached. Use normal music for running-in the subwoofer.

If DALI SUB K-14 F is overloaded, the built-in safety circuit may power down the subwoofer. The subwoofer will power on again when the temperature of the built-in amplier is within safe working range. If overloaded, we recommend that you turn off the subwoofer for a few minutes before turning it on again. note: The built-in safety circuit is no guarantee against damage as a result of overloading.

Cleaning the subwoofer surfaces can be done with ordinary household cleaning agents and using a micro bre cloth. Avoid using products that are abrasive or contains acid, alkali or anti- bacterial agents. Avoid using aerosols. Avoid using cleaning agents directly on the drive unit and clean it with extreme care.

When you have decided which method of connection you want to use and you have positioned the subwoofer, you can begin the process of tuning the system. You are now ready to adjust your DALI SUB K-14 F.

The PHASE switch of the subwoofer has two settings: 0° or 180°. The phase setting will adjust the timing between the subwoofer and the main speakers. To set the phase, do the following:

1) Turn up the volume of your subwoofer a little higher than you would normally do.

2) Set the crossover point to maximum (120 Hz).

NOTE: If you have connected the subwoofer via LFE instead of LINE IN you need to set the crossover point for your subwoofer to maximum in the menu of your surround sound (pre-) amplier/receiver.11 UK DE DK FR CH
