System Installation Guide

Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology’s

revolutionary dARTS (Digital Audio Reference The-

ater System). This exciting entertainment system

will provide the best possible sound reproduction

of music and video programming in any room envi-

ronment, and at every seat in that room.

Please take a few moments to study this Instal-

lation Guide to get the most out of your dARTS

system. Your professional installer will make every

effort to place the speakers to take into account

your room’s natural acoustics, but will also accom-

modate your needs in making them t into your

decorating plans. Phase Technology’s perfectly

matched speakers, and the Audyssey Laboratories

MultEQ XT 32 room correction software as imple-

mented by your installer, will then work together

to overcome the acoustic anomalies of your room

and give you ideal sound at every seating location.

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Software Installation

Referring to Audyssey’s calibration guide, your installer will use a professional calibration microphone

and a digital audio interface with his laptop computer to analyze your room’s acoustic properties as they

affect the entire seating area. This will give him the information to properly set up the volume levels and

delays for each speaker, and then it will automatically generate a series of correction lters to load into

your Phase Technology DP4000 amplier/speaker controller. This correction process will then return your

speakers to their original perfectly matched levels, and remove the room’s harmful acoustic contribu-

tions, leaving you with superb sonic performance that sounds the same at every seat in the room.

Speaker Placement

Phase Technology’s ability to precisely match each speaker to one another yields a much more envelop-

ing and accurate soundeld. This immersive entertainment experience will be enhanced if you will follow

a few basic rules of speaker placement. The front speakers (left, center, right) should all be placed in as

close to a horizontal line as possible, and should be at or slightly above ear level while seated. The left

and right speakers should be far enough apart (6- 8 feet if seated no more then 12 feet from your video

display) to separate the information from each channel, but not so far as to create a discontinuity with

the image on the video display. With a large projection screen, they should be placed as close to the

sides of the screen as is practical. In addition to being in line with the front channels, the center speaker

should be as close to the center of the display as possible, whether above/below the display, or behind a

perforated projection screen. Phase Technology speakers are magnetically shielded so they will not inter-

fere with any type of television set. Please place the included rubber feet on the bottom corners of each

speaker to keep it from vibrating against the shelf or stand on which it sits.

Each of the dARTS speakers (except for subwoofers) includes Phase Technology’s acclaimed variable-

axis soft dome tweeters. This allows your installer to direct high frequencies toward your listening loca-

tion for even greater latitude in speaker placement, and more precise imaging and localization of sound.

Please adjust these tweeters by carefully pressing on the outer rim of the housing only, avoiding contact

with the actual soft dome speaker element. These adjustments, if needed, should be done prior to your

installer calibrating the system to your room, so the correction process will read the tweeters’ energy ac-

curately at each listening position.

The surround speakers should be placed well above ear level in most rooms. Whether you are using di-

rect- radiating speakers or our switchable dipolar/bipolar speakers for the surround channels, please pay

attention to placing them to create a large and enveloping soundeld. In a 5.1-channel conguration, you

will use one pair of surround speakers. If your listening area is near the back wall, the best results can of-

ten be obtained by placing the surround speakers on the side walls, centered on your listening positions.

With speakers directly to the sides, switching the surround speakers into “Dipole” mode (with their front-

panel toggle switch) will a very diffuse, non-directional soundeld. If you prefer to have more localization

of the surround effects, select the “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 set-

tings 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 ll 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 signicant way (oor 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 specically designed to blend well with the dARTS main speak-

ers, and to perform well with either music or movies, augmenting the deep bass which is such an inte-

gral part of our emotional involvement with our entertainment choices. Although very deep bass is es-

sentially 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 accommo-date the use of isolation feet. The Audyssey Laboratories MultEQ XT

32 room calibration software WILL account for sub placement (as it does for all speakers) while measur-

ing 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-amplied or tri-amplied.

This means that each tweeter, midrange, and woofer set is connected to their own individual amplier

channel to allow for greater dynamic performance and exibility in conguration. 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-amplied, 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 con-

nections. Wire with higher gauge numbers is thinner, and is not recommended.

The dARTS subwoofer includes its own 500-watt on-board power amplier. It will need to have a shield-

ed audio interconnect run to its “LINE INPUT L” jack from the DP4000 amplier/controller’s “SUB OUT 8”

jack. The subwoofer’s amplier 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 rst 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 DP4000 digital amplier/controller. It consists of a 16-channel

power amplier (up to 250 w/ch), the setup rmware 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 DP4000 with either two or three pairs of speaker wire. Your surround processor or receiv-

er’s preamp outputs will also be connected to the DP4000. If desired, your installer can connect

a 12 V DC trigger to the amplier’s “POWER CONTROL IN” jack from your surround processor or your

automated control system to turn the amplier 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 amplier/controller’s input and output termi-
