Important cables
There is one area where you can signicantly inuence the sound quality
- the cables between amplier and speaker. This is a case where the rule
'any chain is only as strong as its weakest link' denitely applies. The ne
and detailed signal from the amplier must be conveyed to the speakers
with minimum loss. The table below shows the maximum length your
cables should be.
DALI recommends using cables of at least 1.0 mm2 in cross section. How-
ever, it is not just the cross section that is crucial to the sound. The actual
structure of the cable and the materials employed can have a great inu-
ence on the sound image. We therefore recommend that you only use
cables manufactured for this purpose. You can purchase DALI Wave cables
from your authorised dealer, who will also be able to advise you on the
best type for your requirements. Here is a cross section of the DALI Wave
