UNPACKING

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

Note - NEVER place the DALI KUBIK ONE with the front facing down without the grille, as this will cause deformation of the silk dome tweeter, which may damage its performance.

SPEAKER SETUP

POSITIONING

Top-down diagram of a person in bed with an upward arrow and downward arrow, enclosed in a rectangular frame (no text or symbols)

KUBIK ONE is a stereo speaker and should be positioned so the centre of the speaker is focused around ear level when seated in the most common listening position.

The KUBIK ONE can be used in many scenarios and for multiple purposes. To serve these possibilities DALI has included the option to change Bass Level on the KUBIK ONE. The following Bass Levels are available.

Neutral Authentic bass level for music or TV listening

Bass Enhance Slightly enhanced bass level for music or movie sound in larger rooms

Bass Boost High bass level for music or movie sound in a big room

The bass level description above should be viewed as guidance and as a help to get the most optimal performance from our KUBIK ONE. Adjusting the bass level is in the end a matter of listening and finding what is most suitable for the room and situation.

KUBIK ONE will not function as a hands free speaker for your phone or PC.

Note: To achieve the best audio quality set the volume on your phone, tablet or PC to maximum and use the volume control on the KUBIK ONE.

APPENDIX

IR LEARNING

The IR learning function lets you use an existing remote control to operate the KUBIK ONE. This means that you can use your TV remote control, or any other remote control to adjust the volume and activate any input on the KUBIK ONE. To achieve this you must first enable the KUBIK ONE to accept the IR signals from the remote you wish to use. Follow the simple steps below to activate IR learning for your remote control.

Place yourself in close proximity to the front of the KUBIK ONE. Have both your primary remote control and the KUBIK ONE remote control ready at hand, and the KUBIK ONE turned on.

NOTE: The KUBIK ONE will automatically exit IR learning mode if no user activity is detected for 30 seconds.

NOTE: KUBIK ONE IR learning only works with IR (Infrared) remote controls. Bluetooth, Radio frequency or WiFi based remote controls will not work.

Even though IR is a standard, it is sometimes used differently by manufacturers. For this reason, DALI cannot guarantee that the KUBIK ONE IR learning will work with all IR remote controls on the market.

APPENDIX

	Action Status
1	Start processTo enter IR learning mode press and hold the button directly on the KUBIK ONE control panel.	All indicator lights on the front of the KUBIK ONE will turn on to show IR learning mode is active.
2	Define functionPress the button directly on the KUBIK ONE or on the KUBIK ONE remote that performs the function that you wish to be transferred to your primary remote control.	The red indicator light on the front of the KUBIK ONE will turn off when the input is accepted.
3	Define primary remote control button3.1. Press the button on the primary remote that you wish to perform the function indicated in the previous step.3.2.

4	Continue or exit processTo teach other functionsRepeat step 2 and 3 until all the desired functions have been taught.To exit IR learning modePress and hold the button directly on the KUBIK ONE, alternatively wait 30 seconds.
5	You are doneIt is now possible to control the KUBIK ONE from your primary remote.

If you accidentally assign a wrong primary remote control key to a KUBIK ONE function, just restart the learning process for that function to overwrite.

APPENDIX

RUNNING IN

Like any mechanical system (e.g. a new car), a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume (approximately 50 hours at medium volume is recommended). Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.

OVERLOAD

If the KUBIK ONE is overloaded it will automatically turn off to protect itself and the power LED will start flashing. Turn on KUBIK ONE manually after approximately 15-20 min.

CLEANING

Clean the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinets are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in all-purpose cleaner and then well wrung out. Be very careful when wiping the speaker cones, as they are very fragile. Front grilles can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with a wellwrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner.
