Power handling
DLS recommends using amplifiers within a
specific power range. However, the most
important thing is that the amplifier has
sufficient power reserves for handling peaks
and transient in the music signal
The power rating figure of a loudspeaker is a
very inprecise figure. Since the energy in the
music signal varies, neither peak nor average
value is relevant. A power rating of e.g. 100W
RMS says only that you can play a continuous
tone of 1kHz at this output. It does not mean
that you can turn the volume all the way up on
a 100W amplifier and expect clear sound and
healthy speakers.
The greatest danger to a loudspeaker is
distorded signal. Distorsion in the low
frequency range produces overtones in the
entire spectrum, with an energy that can
easily damage the tweeter units. And since a
more powerful amplifier can play louder
without distorsion, we have the paradox that it
is a greater risk to damage speakers by
playing loud with a smaller amplifier.
Caution!
If you hear distortion when you increase
the volume this is normally a sign of
overloading the amplifier and you should
immediately reduce the output level.
Use of loudness, bass or treble boost
increases the risk for harmful distortion in
the amplifier. We recommend that you use
these controls with care.
Magnetic shielded speakers
The speakers drive unit are magnetically
shielded and can safely be placed directly on,
under or alongside your video (TV) monitor. A
small number of televisions are hyper sensi-
tive to magnetic fields. If you notice any pic-
ture distortion, we recommend that you move
the speaker a few centimetres forth or back,
or distance the speaker a few centimetres.
These small changes in the position are often
enough to cure the problem.
Mounting
Centre and Satelites can be wall mounted.
For mounting follow the instructions for the
brackets.There are two screw positions on the
satelites back side for one wall bracket.For the
centre channel there are two screw positions
on the back side of the speaker one for each
bracket.
Connections
Make sure to turn off all amplifiers before
connecting your new speaker to your system.
Connect the cable to the terminal. Use the
marking of the cable to ensure that the red or
”+” mark of the amplifier is connected to the
”+” side of the terminal, also marked with red.
We recommend high quality cables, not to
thin, to avoide losses. To reduce the effect the
cable has on the speaker, the impedance of
the cable at all frequencies should be low(<
0.2 Ohm). At high frequency the inductive
component of the cables impedance can
dominate over the DC resistance and will
affect the tonal balance.
Ask your dealer for the best cable for your
needs.
