PHANTOM IN-VIRONMENT

There’s more to sound than meets the eye!

Backed by more than 25 years of experience, we strongly believe that the time has come to re-evaluate the realm of in-stall loudspeakers. It is now possible to compete with shelf or floor standing speakers and create truly inspiring in-stall hi-fi quality sound.

The PHANTOM series proves the point. A sonic fulfilment and added decorative bonus to the domestic environment, it covers every need from dedicated two-channel music to a full-blown multi-channel solution, from classic in-wall style to trendsetting quadratic design. The cables and hardware have gone, however there’s absolutely nothing hidden about the sound.

The DALI PHANTOM series embraces the Scandinavian design tradition and is simply an outstanding in-stall adventure. Get rid of the boxes, preserve your home décor, and let music triumph.

Imagine a loudspeaker specifically created to deliver exceptional and accurate sound quality independent of given wall characteristics - and you have PHANTOM EUPHONIA.

The nature of walls and the cavity behind them varies greatly. This is why the highly successful PHANTOM EUPHONIA is designed relatively heavy and rigid in order to form a solid, stable base even when mounted into a very “soft” wall, while the enclosure forms a rock-steady platform.

PHANTOM EUPHONIA is standing on the shoulders of giants: The high-end EUPHONIA series and its technological innovations.

DALI PHANTOM EUPHONIA

It employs a 6.5” custom-built bass/midrange unit, and a fast, lightweight paper cone eliminates vibrations. DALI’s celebrated hybrid tweeter module guarantees a “smooth”, stable high frequency area performance.

PHANTOM EUPHONIA offers the best of both worlds: fewer reflections than a floor standing speaker – and a richly detailed, “transparent” built-in sound experience, turning your physical walls into a musical frame of mind.

The HELICON series is celebrated for its subtle and unforced sound power abilities. PHANTOM HELICON now combines these fine trademarks with features from the highly successful HELICON MK2. The result is discreet exterior and sound superior.

Dimensioned 490 x 285 x 110 mm, this 2½ way speaker incorporates a 6.5” woofer/midrange and the acknowledged hybrid tweeter module to ensure the accustomed DALI PHANTOM level of resolution and details, while a non-resonant aluminium enclosure forms a stable, non-visible platform.

PHANTOM HELICON works well with a subwoofer and comes with installation template, Allen key, logo badge, and a painting cover mask if you wish to individualise the loudspeaker colour. PHANTOM HELICON is a safe choice for exacting listeners keen on sonic realism. HELICON PHANTOM offers an authentic and fulfilling listening experi-ence and is the optimum choice for the exacting listener who is keen on sonic realism.

The ear hears what the eye cannot see.

PHANTOM KOMPAS is the first true high-end, in-ceiling front mounted loudspeaker. Installation is exceptionally easy even if used with the optional metal backbox, and no rebuilding of ceiling or wall is necessary for retrofit installation. In other words: The round and lightweight PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M is first-rate sound and trouble-free installation in one product.

PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M delivers a richly detailed and crisp soundstage. The tweeter system’s clarity blends gracefully with the woofer sound, and the overall performance is precise and natural even at high sound pressures. By means of two discreet switches, you can easily adjust the tweeter level and the distribution of sound according to your preferred in-ceiling sound. Most people don’t look upwards. We do!

DALI PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M

The mechanical design makes installation uncomplicated and the acoustic performance even better. The spring-loaded doglegs always align to their correct position; the doglegs are reversible for extended mounting thickness; and the distance between crossover boards and woofer results in optimised airflow and excellent dynamics.

PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M has a laser engraved steering compass underneath the grill (KOMPAS is a Danish spelling for COMPASS) for perfect alignment in harmony with the rest of speakers in the set up. It comes with a painting cover mask, cut out template, grill hook and an Allen drill bit, while pre-construction brackets are optional. Look no further for high-end in-ceiling sound reproduction. PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M will show you the way.

When the right speaker placement is found and the wall hole is cut out after utilising the cut out template, fasten the cable inside the ceiling/wall and connect the cables between the speaker and your amplifier properly. Always turn on your stereo and listen to music before final mounting. Insert the loudspeaker into the wall/ceiling opening, align the loudspeaker, and be careful not to touch the drivers during installation. Then just tighten the screws in the brackets. Done!

It’s never been easier to install quality loudspeakers! The PHANTOM series is designed specifically for hi-fi performance and safe, fast and uncomplicated mounting:

Note:

Always let a trained professional ensure that safety items such as earthquake fixings are installed correctly according to your manual. For instance, all DALI PHANTOMS are equipped with an earthquake safety hook that requires a trained professional in order to attach the steel wire correctly.

Always use the enclosed Allen Key when tightening the dogleg brackets. Using a power tool can cause an "over tightening" and damage the doglegs.

PHANTOM HELICON, EUPHONIA, IKON, VOKAL

[BACK-UP]The PHANTOM speakers come with all the necessary kit for easy and correct installation. Cut out template, Allen key & bit, grill hook, painting mask and/or earthquake safety hook are included depending on the specific model. DALI PHANTOMs comply with all present safety regulations.

[RIBBON TWEETER]Depending on the specific PHANTOM in question, the ribbon tweeter smoothly rolls in from about 13-15 kHz to support the silk dome. The powerful neodymium magnets of the ribbon unit allow the ultra-lightweight, conductive diaphragm to move with unmatched precision and speed. Add to this a wide, horizontal dispersion pattern, and what you get is a ribbon that faithfully reveals the air and ambience of even the subtlest recordings.

[SILK DOME TWEETER]Lightweight, oversized and lightning fast. Just to mention three of the most vital characteristics of our extremely dynamic soft dome tweeter. In addition, it serves as the ideal companion to the ribbon of our proprietary and acclaimed Hybrid Tweeter Module.

[FRONT PANEL SWITCH]PHANTOM EUPHONIA is equipped with a front panel switch with two settings: “normal” and “enhanced”. This special low-frequency switch feature enables you to adjust the bass according to your room and personal preferences.

[LOW-LOSS DRIVER]What all PHANTOMs have in common is a stiff, yet lightweight paper/wood-composite fibre cone driven by a massive magnet with a highly focused flux. The motor is bonded and bolted onto a rigid, die-cast aluminium basket, which is designed carefully to minimise any air compression.

[BAFFLE]To obtain a clean and undistorted sound reproduction, a rigid MDF-baffle is our complement to the inert, die-cast enclosure. This aluminium enclosure is thoroughly damped by means of vibration- and resonance-dissipating materials within the cabinet in order to provide the best driver working conditions. The result is an acoustically inert environment.

[DOGLEGS]For safe and quick installation of the speakers, PHANTOMs include dogleg brackets for wall or ceiling mounting. The brackets attach the loudspeaker firmly to the rear of the surface. Just tighten the screws, use the 3 mm Allen bit – and the speakers are all set for music.

Sound testing On the rear side of PHANTOM IKON, you’ll find an incision shaped as a keyhole. For sound testing, just hang the loudspeaker on a screw before cutting into the walll. Repeat the testing until you’ve found the perfect spot for your loudspeaker.

[BAFFLE]To obtain a clean and undistorted sound reproduction, a rigid MDF baffle is our complement to the inert, die-cast enclosure. This aluminium enclosure is thoroughly damped by means of vibration- and resonance-dissipating materials within the cabinet in order to provide the best driver working conditions. The result is an acoustically inert environment.

[TWEETER / WOOFER]PHANTOM LEKTOR is a 2-way construction consisting of a 6.5” woofer and a 25mm tweeter. The wood fibre cone ensures a precise and natural bass and low mechanical loss, while the significant DALI values assure a sublime acoustic integration with your room, a wide listening area and a “large” sound.

[EARTHQUAKE SAFETY HOOK] PHANTOM LEKTOR is equipped with an earthquake safety hook to prevent injury or damage from a fall. A trained professional should attach the non-flammable wire between the speaker’s earthquake safety hook and a solid support in the house – and then your new speaker is firmly secured.

[GOLD-PLATED TERMINALS]The graceful gold-plated spring-loaded terminals secure the loudspeaker’s cable and ensure a reliable electrical connection with minimal electrical loss. The outcome is a promise of lifelong loudspeaker performance.

[QUADRATIC DESIGN]Replacing the round and the rectangular shape, which have been the dominant in-wall/in-ceiling forms up until now, PHANTOM LEKTOR introduces a quadratic design that could very well be the new design trend for in-stall speakers. It’s of Scandinavian design tradition, aesthetic and discreet without ever compromising the sound.

PHANTOM KOMPAS

[BACKBOX]The optional steel backbox designed solely for PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M helps preventing sound from travelling to neighbouring rooms and protecting the speaker from dust, insulation and high voltage wiring. It improves mid and bass performance while always maintaining sonic consistency. The backbox can be mounted from the front side and even provides earthquake fixation.

[SWITCHES]Two switches underneath the grill can be used for adjustment of the loudspeaker to a custom set up. The first switch increases or lowers the tweeter level 3 dB, while the second either focuses or distributes the sound in your room for best listening experience.

[COMPASS]PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M has a laser engraved steering compass underneath the grill for perfect and fast angle adjustment.

[WOOFER / TWEETER]The 6.5” woofer with PP-cone, low loss suspension and a large ventilated magnet system is tilted and angled for improved directionality and soundstaging plus significantly reduced diffraction. The fixed composite tweeter housing is aerodynamic and has an airplane-wing-profiled wishbone bracket for optimum woofer/mid performance.

[RETROFIT]PHANTOM KOMPAS is exceedingly easy to install and on-site configurable with or without the backbox mounted. Retrofit installations can be carried out from the front side – even when the backbox is mounted. Pre-drilled holes help simplify the process even further and only 4 screws are needed.

DALI PHANTOM ACCESSORIES

PRE-CONSTRUCTION BRACKET

For PHANTOM IKON & VOKAL

The preconstruction bracket is recommended to provide the perfect, secure place for preconstructing PHANTOM IKON and PHANTOM VOKAL. When framing out the house, the bracket serves as an unmistakable mark for other trades installing services such as water pipes, wires and electronics. The PHANTOM IKON PRECONSTRUCTION BRACKET is the safe and easy way to determine the location of the speaker and minimise the quantity of cuts in your wall.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION BRACKET

For PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M

DALI’s PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M in-ceiling loudspeaker can be installed without the preconstruction bracket. However, we recommend you use the bracket for optimum installation and to ensure the best possible location for your loudspeaker. The PHANTOM KOMPAS PRECONSTRUCTION BRACKET will help you to obtain a flawless, integrated look and avoid cutting unnecessary holes when installing your brand new DALI speaker.

PHANTOM PHRAME

On-wall frame | for PHANTOM EUPHONIA & HELICON

If you wish to convert your in-wall speakers into decorative on-wall speakers resembling simplistic art, then the PHANTOM PHRAME is the right choice for your PHANTOM EUPHONIA or HELICON. Naturally, the fine sound qualities of the speakers - with or without front grill - are preserved after this conversion, which will spare you the trouble of making cuts in your walls. The PHANTOM PHRAME can be painted in your preferred colour.

PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M BACKBOX

The PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M BACKBOX is developed for the sole purpose of enabling you to control and improve the sound performance of your DALI in-ceiling loudspeaker even further. It ensures that sound doesn’t pass through to adjacent rooms and protects your speaker from insulation and high voltage wiring. The zinc-plated steel enclosure helps optimise midrange and bass performance and controls the low frequencies as well. As a bonus, the backbox also protects against dust, damp and dirt.

In addition, the PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M BACKBOX is front-mounted for easy retrofit installations. It is fireproof and comes with a “Daisy Chain” for parallel connection, pre-drilled holes and an earthquake safety hook for safe and straightforward installation. Finally, let’s not forget that the PHANTOM KOMPAS 6M BACKBOX maintains sonic consistency – and remains entirely invisible in your home.

Make sure there is sufficient space behind the wall/ceiling surface to accept the full depth of the in-stall speaker.

Bear in mind that the cut out dimensions are smaller than the speaker itself, so measure twice and cut once.

NOTE: We strongly recommend consulting a professional installer when:

There is risk of violation of fire or building codes, e.g. breaking through a firewall.Mounting speakers in a wall containing utility installations (electrical, gas, heating, water, etc.).Mounting speakers in a wall or ceiling where a mandatory vapour barrier will be broken during installation.

If for any reason, there is insufficient space inside the wall for in-wall speakers, you can alternatively build a false wall mounted on the wall using studs and gypsum board or similar construction panels. This solution also allows you the option of flush-mounting your flatscreen TV in the false wall for a complete, discreet system.

Please take special care with cabling. If long cable runs are required (in excess of 15 metres), use cables with sufficient cross section of minimum 1.5 sq. mm (maximum AWG 16).

For the optimal listening experience, always mount the in-stall speakers well away from room corners in order to minimise the deleterious effects of hard, direct sound reflections.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

When a DALI install speaker is properly fitted and fixed, audio performance can fully match that of a traditional floor stand or shelf speaker.

DALI in-stall speakers benefit from the well-defined boundary provided by the wall or ceiling. Combined with DALI’s Wide Dispersion design principle, this ensures well-balanced sound and a uniform soundfield throughout the listening area.

DALI in-ceiling speakers are the perfect choice where appropriate wall space is not available. In-ceiling solutions allow you to spread sound evenly in areas that are inaccessible with conventional box speakers.

DALI in-wall speakers offer a variety of options and are the ultimate solution for a concealed sound source. With invisible speakers, listeners/viewers can more easily focus on the musical event and/or the onscreen action. Once installed, in-wall speakers are even shallower than your flat panel screen.

Most of the speakers in the DALI PHANTOM range incorporate an aluminium die-cast backbox (optional on KOMPAS). A backbox offers several benefits:

Protection against moisture, dust and dirt.Consistent sound quality (symmetrical loading), even if the acoustic environment behind the walls/ceiling is uneven.No rear sound radiation, reducing acoustic leakage from room to room and from floor to floor.

NOTE: With in-stall speakers, you have the same audio system configuration options as with ordinary box speakers, including 2.0, 2.1, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 solutions.
