Please study and follow the safety guidelines found in chapter 2.0 of this manual! A trained
professional to ensure that all safety requirements are met to prevent the speaker from falling, etc
must install DALI PHANtOM KOMPAS.
the following tools and items are necessary for proper installation:
•
tape measure
•
Pencil and saw or knife
•
3 mm Allen wrench/bit
•
Drill and bit
•
tape
•
Paint (if needed)
•
Painting cover mask (if the speaker should be painted)
•
compressed air (if the speaker should be painted)
•
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 10 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 3mm Allen wrench/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.

the speaker drive units produce a magnetic field which may interfere with cRt televisions/
monitors, hard drives, audio and video tapes as well as swipe cards etc. therefore keep such
items away from the speakers to avoid damage. LcD and plasma televisions/monitors are not
affected by magnetic fields.

cleaning the speaker surfaces can be done with ordinary household cleaning agents. Avoid
using products that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali or anti-bacterial agents. Avoid using
aerosols. Avoid using cleaning agents directly on the drive units and clean them with extreme
care, particularly the tweeter. the grille may be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or a normal
clothes brush.
