4.2 Grille
The grille is attached by magnets incorporated in the frame of the speaker. Place
the grille so that it covers the top of the speaker and the magnets will secure it.
NOTE: The fabric on the inside of the grille is present to protect the drivers from
dust and dirt and should only be removed temporarily to enable grille painting.
4.3 PHANTOM M mounted horizontal (centre channel)
DALI PHANTOM M speakers can be used for left, right, centre or surround
channels. If used in landscape orientation the hybrid tweeter module of the M-375
should be rotated to remain vertical. This is important to preserve the wide
dispersion and fine detail of the high frequencies. The hybrid tweeter modules
are pre-configured for portrait orientation. If a speaker is to be used in landscape
orientation, an authorized DALI dealer or service facility can rotate the hybrid
tweeter module.
To remove the hybrid tweeter module from the cabinet, use the 3 mm Allen Bit
supplied to remove the four screws. When disassembled, rotate the module 90
degrees. Insert the rotated module and reinstall it using the four screws (Figure
5). Do not to over tighten the screws.
4.4 Connection of Cables/Selection of Cables
The choice of cables is an important element of any speaker installation. Replacing
cables following installation is potentially difficult so it is best to select quality
cables from the start. Your authorized DALI dealer can offer advice if required
on which cable to select.
When connecting the cable to the speaker and the amplifier, it is important that
the speakers are connected in correct phase. The red (+) speaker terminal must
be connected to the red (+) amplifier terminal. The black (-) speaker terminal must
be connected to the black (-) amplifier terminal. If the speakers are not connected
in correct phase, the soundstage will 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 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 (see
figure 6).

The enclosed cut-out template (see figure 7) can be used initially to visualize
where your speakers should be mounted and then for marking where the wall
aperture should be made. Tape the template at the preferred mounting position,
so that you can mark the necessary cut line. The minimum mounting depth for the
DALI PHANTOM M series is 100 mm.
