“Bipole” mode or use direct-radiating speakers to match the front channels. If your seating is away from the
back wall, you can choose to mount your surround channels either beside or behind the listening position.
Experiment with both “Dipole” and “Bipole” surround settings with your installer to see which sounds best to
you, so he can calibrate the room to your taste.

In a 6.1-channel setup, a pair of surround speakers will be placed to the sides of your listening area, with an
additional rear center channel speaker behind you. If you choose to implement 7.1-channel surround you will
use a pair of surrounds to the sides, and another pair behind you, spaced evenly to fill the room. Again, please
experiment with your installer to determine which modes sound best for each pair before he calibrates your
room to determine the correction curves for each channel. If you change your mind later, you will need to have
the room recalibrated to accommodate the new speaker settings. Also, if you change your room’s furnishings
in any significant way (floor coverings, drapes, furniture) please have your installer recalibrate the room to
return your system to its original target response curves.

Your dARTS powered subwoofer(s) are specifically designed to blend well with the dARTS main speakers, and
to perform well with either music or movies, augmenting the deep bass which is such an integral part of our
emotional involvement with our entertainment choices. Although very deep bass is essentially non-directional,
the higher bass frequencies and the initial attacks of each note are often shared by the main speakers. Thus,
subwoofers usually blend best when they are relatively close to the front channels. The dARTS Custom Built-In
line offers subs which are the same width as the main speakers, so they can be readily used as speaker
stands, ensuring proper integration and impact. If you do use the system in this way, please have your installer
mount the included connecting brackets to lock the subs and main speakers together, with their fronts vertically
aligned. The brackets allow for vertical adjustment of the main speakers to accommodate the use of isolation
feet. The Audyssey Laboratories MultEQ XT room calibration software WILL account for sub placement (as it
does for all speakers) while measuring your room and designing the correction curves, but the closer you can
come to ideal placement, the better will be the results.

SYSTEM WIRING AND CONNECTION
Phase Technology’s dARTS systems are unique in that all speakers are either bi-amplified or tri-amplified. This
means that each tweeter, midrange, and woofer set is connected to their own individual amplifier channel to
allow for greater dynamic performance and flexibility in configuration. To take advantage of these connections,
front main and surround channels need to be wired with four-conductor speaker wire. The horizontal center
channel is tri-amplified, so it needs to have six conductors available. Phase Technology recommends using 14
AWG speaker wire (no smaller than 16 gauge) for each of these connections. Wire with higher gauge numbers
is thinner, and is not recommended.

The dARTS subwoofer includes its own 500-watt on-board power amplifier. It will need to have a shielded
audio interconnect run to its “LINE INPUT L” jack from the DP2000 amplifier/controller’s “SUB OUT 8” jack.
The subwoofer’s amplifier features both line-level inputs and outputs To add additional subwoofers to increase
the bass performance in a large room, have your installer run an additional shielded audio interconnect from
the first sub’s “LINE OUTPUT L” jack to the second sub’s input “LINE INPUT L” jack, continuing on to as many
subs as desired. The sub amp’s volume control should be set at the“12:00” position for the calibration process,
but can then be raised or lowered a bit to match your own desired bass levels in the room.

The heart of the dARTS system is the DP2000 digital amplifier/controller. It consists of a 16-channel power
amplifier (up to 250 w/ch), the setup firmware used by Phase Technology to individually match your speakers
to each other (frequency response, crossover, time alignment), and space for the room correction program
your installer will run to calibrate the system to your room. Each of your speakers will connect to the DP2000
with either two or three pairs of speaker wire. Your surround processor or receiver’s preamp outputs will also
be connected to the DP2000. If desired, your installer can connect a 12 VDC trigger to the amplifier’s “POWER
CONTROL IN” jack from your surround processor or your automated control system to turn the amplifier on
and off. There is also a “POWER CONTROL OUT” jack available to pass on the control voltage to another
component in your theater system. The following tables show how each channel’s wiring is connected to the
amplifier/controller’s input and output terminals:
