7. e mechanical stability DALle recommends the use of spikes for floor standing speakers to ensure the best possible acoustic connection between floor and speaker MSS Running in 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 initial period Unlike other mechanical systems regular use will in fact extend your loudspeakers life time How the room affects the sound How the room affects the sound Every room has its own distinctive acoustics which influence the way we experience the sound from a speaker In actual fact it s a matter of how the room accommodates the sound and then dampens it You can influ ence the acoustics of your listening room in various ways Some of the sound you hear does not come directly from the actual speakers but are reflections from floor ceiling and walls These reflec tions can be dampened by objects such as furniture plants and carpets If the sound is bright adding soft items such as curtains and carpets can help If the room has large window panes drawing the curtains will pre vent reflections from the glass surfaces Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room and the position of the speakers If positioned near a side or back wall this will accentuate the bass A corner location will accentuate it even more but will also increase the

13. reflections The deci sion is yours so experiment with different positions to find which pro vides the ideal sound for you As a general guide avoid large hard reflective surfaces immediately around the speakers as these will act like an eccho effect and weaken the spatial perspective of the sound image Try placing a tapestry behind the speakers laying a rug in front or placing a large plant at the side it s surprising how much this can affect the precision of the sound image When you are satisfied with the location of the speaker it is important to ensure that the speaker does not tilt or is unstable in any other way For the floor standing models it is very important that they are mounted with the enclosed spikes The rear speaker RS3 must be hung carefully using the enclosed fitting which should be mounted with materials suitable for the wall Connection The connection to your amplifier is extremely important for your sound experi ence Before you connect cables or make any changes to the connections you must disconnect your amplifier from AC power Always use the same type and length of cable for the left and right speakers This class of speaker should be connected with very high quality cables such as DALle Wave or Wasatch Using inferior cables is like putting low cost tyres on a full blooded sports car As an alternative to direct installation in the terminal screws the cables can also be connected to the termina
