3.6 Ribbon Tweeter Rotation on MENTOR LCR
On MENtOR LcR the ribbon tweeter can be rotated 90 degrees if the speaker is used as a center
channel in very wide set-ups. the ribbon tweeters are pre-configured for vertical positioning in the
factory. If the speaker is used as center channel in wide set-ups, your authorized dealer or service
facility can rotate the ribbon tweeter for you.
Remove the ribbon tweeter from the cabinet using a 3 mm Allen key to remove the four screws.
When disassembled, rotate the ribbon tweeter 90 degrees. Insert the rotated ribbon tweeter and
install it, using the four screws. Be careful not to over tighten the screws when assembling the
speaker again (see figure 8).
3.7 Grille position on MENTOR LCR
the grilles of the speakers are factory fitted for vertical positioning, i.e. the upper edge of the grille
is flush with the upper edge of the grey baffle. If the speaker is used in the horizontal position, the
grille can be rotated 180 degrees. the grille will thereby be symmetrical round the center axis of
the speaker (see figure 9).
3.8 Logo placement on MENTOR LCR
the speaker is delivered with a separate DALI logo badge, since the logo badge placement
depends on the chosen placement for the speaker (vertically or horizontally) (see figure 9). If the
speaker is mounted in a vertical position, the logo badge should be positioned on the grey front
baffle. If the speaker is in the horizontal direction, the logo should be positioned on the grille.
Please see and use the enclosed positioning template for mounting the logo badge. If you are in
doubt about how to mount the logo badge, please consult your DALI dealer.

correct, tight connections to your amplifier are extremely important for your listening experience.
Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels. We recommend using
special speaker cables from DALI, available from your dealer.
connection in correct phase is a detail that is often ignored. the red (+) terminal of the amplifier
must be connected to the red (+) terminal of the loudspeaker. the black (-) terminal of the amplifier
must be connected to the black (-) terminal of the loudspeaker. (see figure 10).
For the optimal listening experience, the right loudspeaker (as seen from the listening position)
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked "R" or "Right" the left loudspeaker
must be connected to the amplifier output terminals marked "L" or "Left" Even a single loudspeaker
connected out-of-phase in a stereo or surround installation will make the bass weaker and the
stereo image unfocused.
Note:
Before connecting cables or changing any connections, ALWAYS turn off your amplifier.
Note:
Make sure that the bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose wires that
could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier.
Note:
If you are using MENtOR in a surround system, follow the instructions included with your surround
amplifier.
