THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING DALI DALI SWA series subwoofers are high performance powered subwoofers which will convey the lowest frequencies of all your home entertainment sources. We know you cant wait to hear your new subwoofer, so we will keep these instructions brief and to the point. However, please take the time to thoroughly read at least the sections on PLACEMENT, CONNECTION and SET-UP, in order to fully optimise your installation.
CONNECTION With its active crossover and many connection and adjustment options, the subwoofer can integrate seamlessly with any type of main loudspeaker. Level and crossover frequency can be adjusted to match your main speakers and you can choose between active and passive crossovers. There are two ways to connect the subwoofer to your amplifier: The subwoofer can accept either a line-level signal via its phono sockets from a preamplifier/surround decoder (fig.
Passive connection (See fig. 3): The speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier/receiver are connected to the speaker inputs of the subwoofer, which converts the signal to line-level to drive the subwoofer. This solution should only be used, if no line-level connections are available. The main speakers are connected to the speaker outputs of the subwoofer. fig. 3 Semi-passive connection (See fig.
SET-UP Fine-tuning the adjustments of the subwoofer is a matter of personal preference. The following guidelines should yield excellent results with a minimum of effort. First, set the Volume and Crossover Frequency controls to a middle position (12 oclock). Set the phase switch to 180°. Turn Auto Shut Off on. Turn Power on. Turn on the system and play a selection with bass. If the subwoofer is not active, check all connections.
Selecting Phase: Generally, 180° is the appropriate setting in 60-70% of all cases, depending on the main speakers employed. If you have not achieved a satisfactory result with the Volume and Crossover Frequency controls, try switching Phase to 0° before adjusting Volume and Crossover Frequency again (fig. 7). Once the subwoofer is fully integrated with your main speakers, the subwoofer should be broken in over several days with a wide range of music or movies.
