Please clean the housing using a soft, dry cloth for

optimum results. If they are very dirty, use a soft

cloth soaked in a mild universal cleaning solu-

tion and rmly wrung out.

Take great care when wiping off the speaker

diaphragms, as these are highly sensitive. The

fabric framework can be cleaned using a vacuum

cleaner and may also be wiped using a well-wrung-

out lint-free cloth and a mild universal cleaning solu-

tion.

Maintenance

The oor-standing DALI Piano speakers come with 4 cones to be mounted

under the base. It is vital that these cones be positioned correctly to ensure

the stability of the speakers. Please use the accompanying template, which

can be found at one end of the packaging, for mounting the 4 self-

adhesive cones.

Unpacking

Congratulations on the purchase of your new DALI Piano speakers. This

manual contains information on setup, tuning and maintenance of Piano

Noble, Agile, Ambient, Vocal and Forte subwoofer.

Manual

Piano Forte wall-mounted subwoofer

DALI strongly recommends that wall-mounting of Piano Forte be carried

out by trained staff, who can ensure that the tting is securely fastened

to the wall. For wall-mounting, the tting that accompanies the speakers

must be used.

This manual also contains information on DALI Piano Forte.

Running-in

Like any other mechanical system, a speaker needs to be "run in", so you

can look forward to a gradual improvement in sound quality over the ini-

tial period. Unlike other mechanical systems, a DALI speaker does not wear

out - in fact, regular use will extend its lifetime.

Connection

The connection to your amplier is extremely important for your sound

experience.

Always turn off your amplier before connecting any cables or altering

any connections.

Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right speak-

ers. We recommend using special speaker cables from DALI, available from

your dealer.

For the perfect sound experience, the right speaker must be connected to

the output terminal marked "R" or "Right" on your amplier and the left

speaker to the terminal marked "L" or "Left".

A detail that is often overlooked is connection in the correct phase, i.e. the

red terminal (+) on the amplier should be connected to the red terminal

(+) on the speaker, and the black terminal

(-) on the amplier should be connected

to the black terminal (-) on the speaker.

(Fig. 1) If just one speaker in a stereo or

surround sound system is not connected in

phase, the bass will be weak and the over-

all sound will be diffuse.

Always switch off your amplier before adjusting any of the cables!

English

Fig. 1. Stereo connection

The same guidelines apply irrespective of the number of speakers in your

sound system: speakers positioned to the right must be connected to the

amplier output terminal marked "R" or "Right", and any to the left must

be connected to "L" or "Left".

You must ensure that the cable ends are

rmly pushed into the terminals, and

that there are no loose wires, which

could cause a short circuit and damage

the amplier. (Fig. 2)

Surround sound ampliers have

similar output terminals to stereo

speakers, usually labelled "Front",

"Centre" and "Rear". (Fig. 3)

For further information, please

refer to the manual.

Using inferior cables for your new DALI speakers is just the same as putting

cheap tyres on a thoroughbred racing car. Using cables from DALI, which

have been specially designed, will ensure a perfect sound experience every

time.

Connecting Piano Forte

If supplementing your stereo or surround sound

system with Piano Forte, the active subwoofer from

the Piano range with active crossover network and

amplier, you have various connection options. You

can choose from four options:

Amplier with separate subwoofer output terminal (Fig. 4)

If you have an amplier with a separ-

ate subwoofer output terminal, you

can connect this to the line input

terminals on Piano Forte. Your front

speakers are operated directly by

the amplier and so must not be

connected to Piano Forte. Surround

sound ampliers generally have a sep-

arate subwoofer output terminal.

Amplier without preamplier/subwoofer output terminal

You should only employ the passive

solution if you do not have a preampli-

er output terminal on your amplier.

Piano Forte is operated by the speaker

signal from your amplier/surround

sound receiver.

AMPLIFIER

Amplier with separate preamplier

output terminal and detachable power

amplier (Fig. 6)

Piano Forte is operated by a signal from

your preamplier/surround decoder.

Piano Forte operates the front speakers

via the built-in active crossover network

and a separate power amplier.

Amplier without separate preamplier

output terminal and detachable power

amplier (Fig. 7)

With this solution you have the option of

using a more powerful power amplier for

the front speakers. The partially passive

solution means that Piano Forte is operated

by the speaker signal from your amplier

and converts this signal into a line signal

that operates both the subwoofer and the

power amplier for the front speakers.

Piano Forte should be positioned with the speaker unit facing the wall.

English

Fig. 7

In many cases one Piano Forte in one of the listed setups will provide a

good solution, but the absolute perfect solution is two Piano Fortes in

stereo setup. This solution should be connected in exactly the same way,

but you only connect the left channel to one input terminal on the left

Piano Forte and the right channel to one input terminal on the right Piano

Forte. In other respects, follow the instructions given above - simply with

separate channels. If necessary, obtain advice from your dealer.

Tuning Piano Forte

Once you have chosen the connection you wish to use, you must begin the

task of tuning the system. Following the procedure below will help you to

achieve good results. Use a piece of music that you know well, ideally with

rhythmic bass tone content such as bass drums, electric bass or similar.

Begin by setting "Volume" and "Crossover Frequency" to the central pos-

ition ("12 o'clock"). Set the "Phase" change-over switch to position 180°,

and set both "Auto Shut Off" and "Power" to the "ON" position.

Always switch off Piano Forte before adjusting any of the cables!

English

Setting level

Adjust the volume on your Piano Forte so the bass sound matches the level

from the front speakers. Adjust it so that you can hear the sound contri-

bution from Piano Forte - but without the bass being too dominant. The

bass should be stable and precise. If you set the volume too high, there is a

risk of the subwoofer being overloaded, which would have a detrimental

effect on the vital playback of mid-range tones from the front speakers.

Choice of crossover frequency

Once the volume level is set you can tackle the equally important adjust-

ment of the crossover between the front speakers and Piano Forte. You

do this by adjusting the "Crossover Frequency" up and down until you can

hear the bass running evenly and with no gaps. You may need to readjust

the volume slightly for this adjustment.

Phase setting

In most cases you will achieve the best results with "Phase" set to 180°.

However, this will depend on the front speakers you are using. Once again,

your ears must be the judge. Use the trial-and-error method for both set-

tings - and you may also want to try readjusting the volume and crossover

frequency. In all cases it is a good idea to listen to the system for several

days and readjust as required. The same setting will not always be ideal for

both surround sound and 2-channel stereo. So it is useful to make a note

of your preferred settings for each type.

The "Auto Shut Off" function will set Piano Forte to stand-by mode after

approximately 15 minutes with no signal to the input terminal. When

Piano Forte receives a signal again, the system will switch on automatic-

ally.

The "Power" button is the main switch for the system. It is best to switch

off the system completely when it is not going to be in use for long

periods. When making any changes to connections, always shut down the

system completely.

English

Overloading

When playing at a loud volume, listen out for possible dissonance and dis-

tortion. Piano Forte is protected against temporary overloading, but if

you often play at a loud volume, you should use a permanent lower setting

for the volume level on Piano Forte. If you position Piano Forte in a corner,

this will increase the bass level. For more information on this, see "Tuning

Piano Forte".

Once you have connected up your new Piano speakers, you need to begin

the process of nding the optimum position for your speakers in relation

to your listening position - and adjusting the surround sound amplier, if

applicable. It is worth spending a little time experimenting, as the correct

setup and tuning will provide a signicantly better sound experience. Here

are some useful pieces of advice:

Avoid placing objects between the speakers and your listening position, as

obstructions can cause incorrect tonal balance.

Try to ensure that the distance between the left and right speakers is equal

to the distance from your listening position to the speakers. If you have sur-

round sound, the distance between all the speakers should be symmetrically

identical (Fig. 8).

DALI Piano has been designed using the Linear

Directivity principle, which means that the tonal

balance will be perfect, even if your listening pos-

ition is not quite central. So, it is not necessary

to angle the front speakers towards your listening

position, unless the front speakers are very far

apart.
