4.3 Adjustment of Switches
when the grille is removed from the loudspeaker, you will see the woofer and the tweeter and two
switches (see figure 6). the switches can be used to adjust the sound from the loudspeaker to a
custom setup. the switches can be operated independent of each other.
One switch can increase the tweeter level 3dB if it is switched from the “Normal” setting to the
“Hf tilt” setting.
the other switch can focus or distribute the sound from the loudspeaker. when the listeners
are relatively close to the center axis of the loudspeaker (closer than 25 degrees off-axis) we
recommend setting the switch to the “focus” setting. when listening far away from the center
axis of the loudspeaker (more than 25 degrees off-axis) or if the speaker is used to fill a large area
with sound, we recommend setting the switch to “Distributed”.
4.4 Speaker Rotation – Using the Compass
when the grille is removed you can see a compass ring (kompas in Danish) round the edge of the
loudspeaker bezel, which can be used to read out the rotation of the loudspeaker relatively to e.g.
a fixed line on the ceiling. the tweeter is slightly off-center and should be positioned so it is closest
to the main listening postion (see figure 7).
4.5 Connection of Cables/Selection of Cables
your choice of cables is a crucial element in your installation. Be aware that replacing cables after
installation is a difficult task. therefore, select quality cables from the beginning. Please consult
your authorized DALI dealer for further advice on which cable to select.
when connecting the cable to the loudspeaker and the amplifier, it is important that the loudspeaker
is connected in correct phase. the red (+) loudspeaker terminal must be connected to the red (+)
amplifier terminal. the black (-) loudspeaker terminal must be connected to the black (-) amplifier
terminal. If the loudspeakers are not connected in correct phase, the soundstage will typically be
diffuse and the bass will be weak.
to insert the cable end into the spring loaded terminals of the speaker, remove cable insulation so
that approx. ½” / 12 mm of bare wire is exposed. Press the top of the terminal down and insert the
bare wire into the opening. when the wire is fully in place with no loose strands exposed, release
the terminal. the cable is now connected. Please refer to figure 8 for correct cable connection.

the enclosed cut-out template (see figure 9) can be used to initially visualize how your speakers
should be mounted and for marking where the cut-out should be made. tape the template at the
preferred mounting position, so that you can mark the necessary opening. the minimum mounting
depth for the DALI PHANtOM E-50 and E-60 is 95 mm / 3,7”, and for the DALI PHANtOM E-80 it
is 106 mm / 4,2”.
