3.1 DALI RUBICON 5, 6 and 8
The speakers are designed to stand on the floor, using spikes or rubber bumpers under the
speakers, (see Figure 3+4). Be careful not to over tighten the contra nuts. Spikes or rubber
bumpers can improve the sound quality. You can try both to hear what gives the best sound
quality in your setup. Please be aware that spikes may damage the floor if it is not protected.
NOTE: On some floor surfaces and in some rooms, the use of spikes is a crucial aspect in
obtaining the best result. The spikes (included) should be fastened loosely in the four aluminium
feet, leaving the spike's nut only slightly tightened. Using the screws, mount the feet in the
threaded holes on the bottom of the speaker. Push the feet against the cabinet before tightening
the screws. Place the loudspeaker upright on its spikes on the floor, so that it stands steadily
without rocking. Tighten the nuts, so that the four spikes sit tightly in the aluminium feet.
These assembly and setup steps ensure stable mechanical coupling to the surface beneath
(see Figure 3).
3.2 DALI RUBICON 2
DALI RUBICON 2 is optimized for stand mounting, but will also work well on a shelf. If positioned
on a stand or shelf, the enclosed bumpers can be placed under the speaker for stable and
vibration-free positioning (see Figure 4).
For the best possible sound, we recommend placing the speaker with the tweeter module at
approximately the same height as your ears when you are seated in your favourite listening
position.
3.3 DALI RUBICON LCR
DALI RUBICON LCR is optimized for wall-mounting (see Figure 5), but can be used on a shelf
or TV furniture.
DALI RUBICON LCR can be used as a left, right or centre speaker. If used in the horizontal
position the hybrid tweeter module should be rotated so it stays vertical, which is important to
preserve the wide dispersion and fine detail of the high frequencies. If used in the horizontal
position, you can rotate the DALI logo on the front grille by lifting it up slightly and rotating it into
the desired position (see Figure 6).
The ribbon tweeters are pre-configured for vertical positioning in the factory and if the speaker
is used in the horizontal position, your authorized dealer or service facility can rotate the ribbon
tweeter for you. To remove the ribbon tweeter from the cabinet, use a 3 mm Allen key (not
included) 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 (Figure 7). Be careful not
to over tighten the screws when assembling the speaker again.
If positioned on a shelf or TV furniture, the enclosed bumpers can be placed under the speaker
(in both the vertical or horizontal position) for stable and vibration-free positioning (see Figure
4).

4.0 CONNECTION

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
DALI CONNECT speaker cable, available from your dealer.
