9.1 Adjustment of the sub woofer

When you have decided upon which method of connection you want and positioned the subwoofer,

you can commence the exciting process of tuning the system. Please note that positioning the

subwoofer will have a big inﬂuence on its contribution to the overall sound, e.g. if the DALI

MENTOR SUB is positioned in a corner the bass will be much heavier than if it is positioned

midway between two corners. The following tuning method is recommended to achieve the best

results: Use a piece of music you know well, preferably one including rhythmic bass such as kettle

drums, bass guitar etc. Start adjusting the subwoofer by setting the ON/OFF switch to ON. Set the

AUTO/MANUAL switch to AUTO. Adjust the subwoofer using the remote or the buttons on the rear

panel of the subwoofer.

Note:

When adjusting, the logo / LED display on the front of the subwoofer will show your setting.

Note:

We recommend that you take advantage of the remote control option and adjust the settings of the

sub woofer from the listening position.

9.2 Overloading the subwoofer

If DALI MENTOR SUB is overloaded, the built-in safety circuit will cut the power off. If this occurs let

it cool down before turning it back on. The built-in safety circuit is not a guarantee against damage

as a result of overloading.

9.3 Power

The POWER button is the main ON/OFF switch. We recommend switching OFF the system when

it is not to be used for long periods. When changing connections, always disconnect the mains

voltage to the subwoofer .We recommend that you ALWAYS turn off the DALI MENTOR SUB with

the Remote Control BEFORE turning off the mains switch.

10. THE LISTENING ROOM

Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which inﬂuence the way we experience sound from

a speaker. The sound you hear consists of direct sound from the speakers and reﬂected sound

from the ﬂoor, ceiling and walls. The latter will affect how you experience the sound. As a basic

rule, try to avoid large, hard and reﬂective areas in the immediate vicinity of your loudspeakers

as it will typically cause strong reﬂections, which might disturb the precision and spatial effect

of the sound reproduction. Reﬂection might be suppressed by positioning e.g. a plant between

the speaker and the reﬂecting surface. Soft items such as carpets, curtains etc. might help if the

sound is too bright. Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape

of the room, and the position of the speakers. Positioning the speakers near a side or back wall

will accentuate the bass.

A corner location will accentuate it even more, but will also increase the reﬂections.

11. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In Table 2 you will ﬁnd the most common speciﬁcations for our speakers. Please have in mind that

there are countless methods for measuring speakers. However, none of them tell you anything

useful about how a speaker really sounds. Only your ears can decide whether one speaker sounds

better than another. Like all our speakers, DALI MENTOR series is designed to reproduce music

as honestly as possible.

Enjoy your new DALI MENTOR!
