4.4 Speaker Rotation – Using the Compass
When the grille is removed you can see a compass ring round the edge of the
loudspeaker bezel, which can be used to read out the rotation of the loudspeaker
relatively to, for example, a fixed line on the ceiling. The tweeter is slightly off-center
and should be positioned so it is closest to the main listening position (see figure 7).
The PHANTOM E-60 S incorporates a compass ring around the edge of its bezel
(see figure 7B), that can be used to read out the rotation of the loudspeaker relative
to, for example, a fixed line on the ceiling. The tweeters should be positioned so they
are closest to the main listening position.
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.
Additionally for the E-60 S, the stereo (left and right) cables require connection
to the correct terminals. Connect the left channel cable to the terminals on the
side marked “L” on the product label, and connect the right channel cable to the
terminals on the side marked “R”.
To insert the cable end into the spring loaded terminals of the speaker, remove
cable insulation so that approximately. 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, E-60 and E-60 S is 95 mm / 3.7”, for the DALI PHANTOM K-60 it is 98 mm /
3.9”, for the DALI PHANTOM E-80 it is 106 mm / 4.2”, and for the DALI PHANTOM
K-80 it is 109 mm /4.3”.

Please study and follow the safety guidelines found in chapter 2.0 of this manual! Use
a trained professional to ensure that all safety requirements are met to prevent the
speaker from falling.
The following tools and items are necessary for proper installation:
•
Tape measure
•
Pencil and saw or knife
•
3 mm Allen key or drill bit
•
Tape
•
Cut-out template
When the correct placement has been found, tape the mounting template to the
surface. Outline the cut-out area with a pencil.
Remove the template and drill holes for insertion of saw or knife. Saw/cut carefully
along the line marked with pencil.
When the hole for the loudspeaker is made, make sure that the loudspeaker cable
is not hanging loose inside the ceiling/wall. It must be securely fastened to the inside
of the ceiling/wall to prevent tension on the cable when the cable is connected with
the terminals of the loudspeaker. If left unsupported, cable can gradually come
loose, creating a poor electrical connection between wire and terminals (see figure
8 for correct fastening of the cable).
When the loudspeaker cable is fastened and the hole for the loudspeaker is prepared,
you are ready to connect the speaker cables. Connect cable to the terminals –
being careful to connect the amplifier’s red (+) terminal to the loudspeaker’s red (+)
terminal and the amplifier’s black (-) terminal to the loudspeaker’s black (-) terminal.
Please refer to chapter 4.5 of this manual.
When the cables are connected, turn on the system and listen to the loudspeakers
before final mounting to make sure that all connections are correct. Insert the
loudspeaker in the ceiling/wall opening and align the loudspeaker as described in
chapter 4.4.
NOTE: Be careful not to touch the drivers during installation. When the loudspeaker
is aligned, tighten the 4 screws in the loudspeaker brackets with a 3 mm Allen key/
bit so that the speaker is firmly mounted in place. Be careful to avoid over-tightening
the screws and shredding the threads.

You should expect the sound quality from your new speakers to gradually improve
during the first period of use. Nothing particular has to be done in order to run in
the speakers – but expect up to 100 hours of playback (depending on playback level)
before full performance level is reached.
