1. Introduction

The DALI PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier is
designed to provide high performance and configurable
audio power amplification for all DALI PHANTOM custom
install speakers and subwoofers. It can however also be
used to power conventional DALI passive hi-fi speakers.

This manual covers the features, installation and
functions of the AMP-2500 DSP. Please read the
manual fully before installing and using the amplifier. If
you have any questions regarding amplifier configuration,
installation or operation please contact your DALI
retailer or installer, or DALI directly via the support
