1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations with your new DALI MENTOR loudspeaker. It is important to us that your new DALI
loudspeakers are set up and connected optimally. For this reason, we recommend that you read
this manual and follow its instructions. This manual contains instructions for setup and connection,
as well as tips and advice on how to get the most out of your new loudspeakers. DALI is acclaimed
around the world for unique loudspeakers built to our uncompromising standards for design and
performance. The goal for every single DALI loudspeaker is always our foremost commitment: To
create a listening experience in your home that will make you forget time and place.
Remember to sign up for the DALI newsletter at www.dali-speakers.com.
Enjoy
2.0 UNPACKING
Be careful not to damage the contents when you unpack the parts. Depending on which DALI
MENTOR model you have bought, different accessories come with the loudspeaker. Check that all
parts are contained in the cardboard box (see Table 1). Keep the packaging materials should your
speaker need to be relocated or serviced.
3.0 POSITIONING
To achieve the best results, the loudspeaker setup should be symmetrical round your favorite
listening position (except for MENTOR SUB), (see Figure 1A – 1C). We recommend that you
experiment with the position of your loudspeakers – the sound quality will change depending on
the loudspeaker position. For MENTOR MENUET, 1, 2, LCR, VOKAL, the speakers should ideally be
positioned, so that the height of the tweeter is approximately at ear height when seated in your
favorite listening position. MENTOR 5, 6 and 8 and SUB are designed as floor standing speakers.
They should be positioned minimum 10 – 20 cm (4 – 8”) from the rear wall.
Ideally MENTOR MENUET, 1, 2, LCR, VOKAL, are designed to be positioned flat up against the
wall. MENTOR 2 is designed for both stand mounting and on-wall positioning flat up against the
wall. Objects positioned between the speaker and listening position might negatively affect sound
quality. The speakers are designed to meet our wide dispersion principle, so they should not be
angled towards the listening position, but be positioned parallel with the rear wall (see Figure
2). By parallel positioning, the distortion in the main listening area will be lowered and the room
integration will be better. The wide dispersion principle will also ensure that sound is spread
evenly within a large area in the listening room.

3.1 MENTOR 5, 6, 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 of obtaining
the best result. The spikes included on MENTOR 8, 6 and 5, should be screwed in loosely in the
threaded holes in the bottom of the speaker. 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.
These assembly and setup steps ensure stable mechanical coupling to the surface beneath.
3.2 MENTOR 2
DALI recommends that you place your MENTOR 2 on a stand for the optimum sound experience.
Alternatively, MENTOR 2 can be placed on a shelf. The enclosed rubber bumpers can be mounted
under the speaker for stable and vibration-free positioning (see figure 4).
3.3 MENTOR MENUET + MENTOR 1
The speakers can be positioned on a stand/shelf or hung on the wall using an optional wall
bracket(s). If positioned on a stand or shelf, the enclosed rubber bumpers can be placed under the
speaker for stable and vibration-free positioning (see figure 4). For wall mounting you must use an
optional wall bracket(s) (available at all DALI dealers). Before mounting the speakers to the wall,
position the special bumpers, which are enclosed in the wall bracket packaging, on the rear edge
of the speaker. These bumpers ensure the correct distance from the wall.
3.4 MENTOR VOKAL
MENTOR VOKAL is the ultimate center channel and should be placed on a stand or a shelf.
The enclosed rubber bumpers can be placed under the speaker for stable and vibration-free
positioning (see figure 5).
3.5 MENTOR LCR
MENTOR LCR is suited for placement on a wall or lying on a shelf (as a center channel). For wall
mounting, use the two integrated wall brackets on the rear side of the speaker. Fix two screws in
the wall, a distance of 430 mm/16.9” apart, on which the speaker can hang. Position the screws
above each other if the speaker is used as Left or Right speaker (vertically – see figure 6) or next
to each other if the speaker is used as a center channel speaker (horizontally – see figure 7).
If placed on a shelf/stand and used as a center channel, the enclosed rubber bumpers can be
placed under the speaker for stable and vibration-free positioning (see figure 5).

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.
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
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.

4.1 Bi-wiring - MENTOR 2, 5, 6, 8, VOKAL
The top terminal pair is internally connected to the crossover network’s high frequency section.
The bottom terminal pair is internally connected to the crossover network’s bass section. When biwiring or bi-amping, ALWAYS remove the metal jumpers between the terminals before connecting
cables. For bi-wiring, connect two sets of loudspeaker cable, one to the top terminals and one to
the bottom terminals. At the amplifier end, connect both sets of loudspeaker cables to the same
pair of terminals on the amplifier.
Like any mechanical system, a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best.
You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The breakin period will vary depending on use and playback volume (approximately 50 hours at medium
volume is recommended). Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is
increased by normal, regular playback of music.
6.0 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Clean the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinets are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in
all-purpose cleaner and then well wrung out. Be very careful when wiping the speaker cones, as
they are very fragile. Fabric frameworks can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with a
well-wrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner.
6.1 Avoid direct sunlight
The surfaces of the MENTOR Real Wood Veneers are sensitive to sunlight, which might cause color
fading over time. To reduce color fading, we recommend that you avoid exposing the loudspeaker
to direct sunlight.
If you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a
separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that
requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the EU member states,
Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge
to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). If you reside
in countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method
of disposal. By following this process, you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the
necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the
environment and human health.

8.0 POWER AND ACOUSTIC PRESSURE
How loud a speaker is able to play and still sound good is completely dependent on the signal
it has to reproduce. So, in practice, you cannot define an unequivocal level for use in comparing
different speakers.
Obviously, lots 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
contains much more high-frequency information than an undistorted signal, and therefore puts
a heavy strain on the tweeter. Consequently, speakers are often damaged by small amplifiers,
having to work too hard - and very rarely by large amplifiers, which are practically running idle.
It is worth noting that when the tone controls are turned above the neutral setting this significantly
burdens both speakers and amplifier. On a good sound system tone controls should only be used
to compensate for poor recordings and not to permanently compensate for weaknesses elsewhere
in the system. So, DALI recommends that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position,
and you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers. Ensuring
that you keep the volume low enough so the sound remains clear and undistorted will minimise
the strain on both speakers and amplifier.
All DALI loudspeakers are designed with linear impedance to be an optimal amplifier load. The
result is significantly more open and detailed sonic image.
DALI MENTOR SUB has a built-in power amplifier and an active crossover. Both the amount
and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room, and the position of
the subwoofer(s) and main speakers. If positioned near a side or back wall, the bass will be
accentuated. A corner location will accentuate it even more. Experiment with different positions to
find which provides the ideal sound for you. The airflow from the DALI MENTOR SUB is radiated
from the bottom of the cabinet. To ensure, that this airflow is not blocked, thus negatively affecting
the bass performance, we recommend placing the subwoofer with minimum 5 cm (2”) of
clearance on all sides.
MENTOR SUB comes with a handy remote control (see figure 12).
On the rear side of the subwoofer you will find the amplifier (see figure 11), which has the following
features:

9.1 Adjustment of the sub woofer
When you have decided upon which method of connection you want and positioned the subwoofer,
you can commence the exciting process of tuning the system. Please note that positioning the
subwoofer will have a big influence on its contribution to the overall sound, e.g. if the DALI
MENTOR SUB is positioned in a corner the bass will be much heavier than if it is positioned
midway between two corners. The following tuning method is recommended to achieve the best
results: Use a piece of music you know well, preferably one including rhythmic bass such as kettle
drums, bass guitar etc. Start adjusting the subwoofer by setting the ON/OFF switch to ON. Set the
AUTO/MANUAL switch to AUTO. Adjust the subwoofer using the remote or the buttons on the rear
panel of the subwoofer.
Note:
When adjusting, the logo / LED display on the front of the subwoofer will show your setting.
Note:
We recommend that you take advantage of the remote control option and adjust the settings of the
sub woofer from the listening position.
9.2 Overloading the subwoofer
If DALI MENTOR SUB is overloaded, the built-in safety circuit will cut the power off. If this occurs let
it cool down before turning it back on. The built-in safety circuit is not a guarantee against damage
as a result of overloading.
9.3 Power
The POWER button is the main ON/OFF switch. We recommend switching OFF the system when
it is not to be used for long periods. When changing connections, always disconnect the mains
voltage to the subwoofer .We recommend that you ALWAYS turn off the DALI MENTOR SUB with
the Remote Control BEFORE turning off the mains switch.
10. THE LISTENING ROOM
Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience sound from
a speaker. The sound you hear consists of direct sound from the speakers and reflected sound
from the floor, ceiling and walls. The latter will affect how you experience the sound. As a basic
rule, try to avoid large, hard and reflective areas in the immediate vicinity of your loudspeakers
as it will typically cause strong reflections, which might disturb the precision and spatial effect
of the sound reproduction. Reflection might be suppressed by positioning e.g. a plant between
the speaker and the reflecting surface. Soft items such as carpets, curtains etc. might help if the
sound is too bright. Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape
of the room, and the position of the speakers. Positioning the speakers near a side or back wall
will accentuate the bass.
A corner location will accentuate it even more, but will also increase the reflections.
11. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
In Table 2 you will find the most common specifications for our speakers. Please have in mind that
there are countless methods for measuring speakers. However, none of them tell you anything
useful about how a speaker really sounds. Only your ears can decide whether one speaker sounds
better than another. Like all our speakers, DALI MENTOR series is designed to reproduce music
as honestly as possible.
Enjoy your new DALI MENTOR!
