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.
PLACEMENT
Finding the best possible position for your subwoofer is just as important as correct connection
and adjustment, so please experiment with room placement, just as you would with any
loudspeaker.
Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to find the best placement. You must experiment and
listen for the best position in your room. We offer the following guidelines to assist you in this
process.
The subwoofer should be placed on an even floor, either directly on the feet (included) or on
spikes (sold separately). Make sure that spikes do not puncture speaker cables, power
cords, interconnects, etc. The subwoofer must not rock back and forth, as this can cause
distortion at high levels. If the floor is uneven, place objects under the feet/spikes to restore
balance, so that the subwoofer cannot rock back and forth.
Placement on a line roughly halfway between the left and right front speakers usually works
well. Placement along a side wall can in some rooms yield good results. Note that it is not
necessary to angle the subwoofer in towards the listening position.
The subwoofer should normally be placed near a wall. Moving the subwoofer away from the
wall will reduce bass output. Placement in a corner will increase bass output. Note that
moving the subwoofer will have the most effect in the midbass region, acting as a kind of
tone control. The rear panel volume control increases or reduces bass output in a more
linear manner.
In the recommended set-up with two subwoofers, each subwoofer should be placed near
the corresponding main speaker, for instance in a corner behind the speaker.
