Take care not to scratch the high-gloss finish of the DALI BASIS 100 LCR enclosure. Like a new car), a loudspeaker requires a "break-in" period to perform at its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume (approximately 50 hours at medium volume is recommended). To disconnect DALI BASIS 100 LCR, simply press the spring-loaded button on the Click'n Connect wall-mount and pull the speaker gently towards you. Do NOT apply force if the DALI BASIS 100 LCR does not slide easily onto the Click'n Connect wall-mount. Instead, please check and realign the orientation of the molded grooves between the wall-mount and speaker socket. If the rubber-painted front baffle is dirty, wipe with a soft, damp micro-fibre cloth. When removed from the speaker baffle, the grille can be softly vacuumed and wiped with a well-wrung, lint-free cloth with mild all-purpose cleaner. How loud a speaker is able to play and still sound good is totally dependent on the signal it has to reproduce. This also means that you cannot define an unequivocal playback level when comparing different speakers. An abundance of pure, undistorted output from a large amplifier is better than a distorted signal from a small amplifier stretched beyond its capacity. The signal from a distorting (clipping) amplifier puts a heavy strain on the high-frequency driver. Consequently, speakers are most often damaged by small amplifiers forced to work too hard - and very rarely by large amplifiers, which are practically running idle. We also recommend that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position and that you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers. [. . . ] We also recommend that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position and that you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers. Ensuring that you keep the volume low enough to keep the sound clear and undistorted will minimize the strain on both speakers and amplifier. The surfaces of the DALI BASIS 100 LCR are sensitive to sunlight, which might cause colour fading over time. If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. [. . . ]
