DALI CAPO (Congratulations on your fine judgment. In its class the DALI Capo is one of the very finest loudspeakers on the market. To get the maximum performance from DALI Capo we recommend that you read this manual before installing your new speakers.
UNPACKING THE DALI CAPO E ach DALI Capo is packed individually with the base removed, The loudspeaker should be placed face down. Mount the base on the loudspeaker using the tools enclosed with the right loudspeaker. The two shiny spikes are then mounted on the bottom aluminum panel. The spikes are then fastened with nuts. / The tilt-adjustment screw is Sl i then mounted in the hole at the C= == Pod rear of the base.
POSITIONING D not neglect this procedure. It is the most cost effective upgrade« to the sound of your system. Once the speakers have been unpacked and assembled, the following recommendations for room placement should be observed. DISTANCE FROM THE REAR WALL Ideally one meter, but not less than 40 cm. DISTANCE FROM SIE WALLS: Preferably more than 40 cm. Corner placement: Not recommended. CAUTION DALI Capo is mounted on spikes in order to improve stereo imaging.
POSITIONING EQUAL DISTANCE: he distance from your normal listen Angling We recommend turning the Capo slightly inward toward the listening position. Start with moderate toeing and continue in small increments. Vertical tilt: The Capo's perpendicular angle can be adjusted using the screw at the rear of the base. If more tilt is required, the front screws may also be adjuring position to both pestered. The loudspeaker takers should be equal.
CONNECTION he gold plated terminal on DALI Capo makes it possible to use banana plugs or heavy bared wires for amplifier connection. IMPORTANT! Turn off the amplifier when you are working at loudspeaker connection! refer PHASING DAILY USE T: get true stereo-reproduction it is necessary that the loudspeakers are phased correctly. Always connect the amplifier + to the loudspeaker +, and the amplifier — to the loudspeaker —.
MALFUNCTION n case of any failure, first determine whether the error is in the loudspeaker by switching leads between the left and right speakers. If the malfunction then moves to the other speaker, then the error lies elsewhere in your system, If there is no treble and mid range, examine the fuse in the base near the loudspeaker terminals. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse of identical value {1,6 A fast blow} and turn the sound up slowly.
DOCUMENTATION he DALI Capo is the result of years of painstaking Lab our in the DALI laboratories and listening rooms. The vast resources lavished an this project are a tacit acknowledgment of its unique, ground-breaking nature. We had to check aut radically new solutions to some fundamental problems before we were satisfied with the fruits of our labors.
DOCUMENTATION A long ribbon offers the additional advantage that, even with a taut ribbon, the system's eigenvalues will be well outside the frequency range which the ribbon is intended to reproduce. Once the length of the ribbon is determined, ita width must then be defined. Tn order to achieve accept table horizontal dispersion the ribbon should be narrow, but for optimum low frequency response at reasonable volume levels the largest possible surface is desirable. Obviously.
DOCUMENTATION volume of air is in phase at sufficiently low frequencies. When a large plastic membrane is noun: ted in front of the woofer with a well-defined space in between, the captive volume of air behaves like a piston at low frequencies and transforms the surface area and the volume velocity of the woo fer. This allows us to define the shape and surface area of the bass driver and, thereby. ita dispersion characteristics.
