Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience sound from
a speaker. the sound you hear consists of both direct sound from the speakers and reflected
sound from the floor, and walls. the latter will affect how you experience the sound. As a basic
rule, try to avoid large, hard and reflective areas in the immediate vicinity of your loudspeakers as
it will typically cause strong reflections, which might disturb the precision and spatial effect of the
sound reproduction. Soft items such as carpets, curtains etc. might help if the sound is too bright.
Both the amount and quality of the deep bass depend on the size and shape of the room, and the
position of the speakers. Positioning the speakers near a side or back wall will accentuate the
bass. A corner location will accentuate it even more, but will also increase the reflections
4.1 Mounting the dogleg brackets
DDALI PHANtOM S Series incorporates dogleg brackets for wall mounting. the brackets attach
the loudspeaker firmly to the rear of the surface on which it is mounted. the dogleg brackets
extend out at a 90-degree angle when the screws are tightened (see figure 3). the screws should
be tightened so that the loudspeaker sits securely in place – but be careful not to over tighten the
screws. to tighten the screws, use the 3mm Allen key (enclosed in the package).
If using an Allen bit it should be used with a hand bit screwdriver or a drilling machine with build-in
torque setting. If using a drilling machine, set the torque to the minimum setting. the screws are
appropriately tightened, when the gasket on the rear of the speaker is compressed and the bezel
of the speaker is flush with the mounting surface.
If you need to remove the loudspeaker, loosen the screws approximately 5 to 20 turns counter
clockwise and the brackets will loosen their grip.
NOTE:
Do not unscrew more than 20 to 25 turns or the brackets may fall off the screws.
If you are mounting the loudspeaker in very thick wall material, it might be needed to dismount the
dogleg brackets from the screws and afterwards mounting them upside down. Opposite mounting
of the doglegs will make it possible to mount the loudspeaker in boards with up to 2.75”/70 mm
thickness (see figure 4).
4.2 Grille
the metal grille is attached by means of magnets incorporated in the frame of the speaker.
carefully place the grille so that it covers the top of the speaker, and the magnets will secure it.
NOTE: On the inside of the grille there is a piece of non-woven. the non-woven is on the grille
to protect the drivers against dust and dirt. therefore the non-woven must remain on the grille.
4.3 PHANTOM S mounted horizontal (centre channel)
DALI PHANtOM S can be used as a left, right or centre speaker. If used in the horizontal position
the hybrid tweeter module should be rotated so it stays vertical, which is important to preserve
the wide dispersion and fine detail of the high frequencies. the hybrid tweeter modules are
pre-configured for vertical positioning in the factory and if the speaker is used in the horizontal
position, your authorized dealer or service facility can rotate the hybrid tweeter module for you.
