2.0 UNPACKING
Be careful not to damage the contents when you unpack the parts. Depending on which DALI
ZENSOR model you have bought, different accessories come with the loudspeaker. Check that
all parts are contained in the cardboard box (see Table 1). Keep the packaging materials should
your speaker need to be relocated or serviced.
3.0 POSITIONING
To achieve the best results, the loudspeaker setup should be symmetrical round your favorite
listening position, see Figure 1A - C. We recommend that you experiment with the position of
your loudspeakers – the sound quality will change depending on the loudspeaker position. For
ZENSOR 1, ZENSOR 3 and VOKAL, the speakers should ideally be positioned, so that the height
of the tweeter is approximately at ear height when seated in your favorite listening position.
ZENSOR 5 and 7 are designed as floor standing speakers. They should be positioned minimum
10 – 20 cm (4 – 8”) from the rear wall. ZENSOR 1, ZENSOR 3 and VOKAL are designed to be
positioned flat up against the wall.
Objects positioned between the speaker and the listening position might negatively affect sound
quality. The speakers are designed to meet our wide dispersion principle, so they should NOT be
angled towards the listening position, but be positioned parallel with the rear wall, see Figure 2.
By parallel positioning, the distortion in the main listening area will be lowered and the room
integration will be improved. The wide dispersion principle will ensure that sound is spread
evenly within a large area in the listening room.
3.1 DALI ZENSOR 1
The speaker can be positioned on a stand/shelf or hung on a wall using the integrated wall
bracket. If positioned on a stand or shelf, the enclosed rubber bumpers can be mounted under
the speaker for stable and vibration free positioning, see Figure 3A. If hung on a wall, mount the
bumpers on the rear edges of the speakers, see Figure 3B. The speakers are hung on a wall
using one screw mounted in the wall. The screw must fit the wall bracket on the rear side of
the speaker, see Figure 3C.
