Operation Manual

UK DE DK CN FR JP

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.

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 that

could cause a short circuit and damage the ampliﬁer.

Note:

If you are using MENUET in a surround system, follow the instructions included with your

surround ampliﬁer.

5.0 RUNNING-IN

Like any mechanical system, 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 breakin

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.

6.0 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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. Fabric frameworks can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with

a well-wrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner.

6.1 AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT:

The surfaces of the DALI MENUET are sensitive to sunlight, which might cause color fading

over time. To reduce color fading, we recommend that you avoid exposing the loudspeaker to

direct sunlight.

7.0 DISPOSAL

If you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is

a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that

requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the EU member states,

Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge

to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). If you reside

in countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method

of disposal. By following this process, you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the

necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the

environment and human health.

8.0 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.
