DALI phantom H Series WhitePaper
INTRODUCTION DALI PHANTOM H series consist of four models, a compact 5¼ inch, an all around 6½ inch, an impressive 8 inch model and a 3-way with a massive 12” bass driver. The DALI PHANTOM H series is the natural choice when seeking a true Hi-FI install audio experience. This In-wall optimised series is built around many of the traditional speaker design virtues and is based upon DALI’s low-loss technologies.
Background In-ceiling speakers offer an enticing alternative to traditional box speakers by introducing the possibility of playing music in rooms where precious floor space will not allow, or where the look of the room may be negatively affected by a standard box loudspeaker system. With a lot of in-ceiling speakers however, these possibilities can come at the cost of the overall sound quality.
Design The squared off grille sits snug up against the wall due to the integrated magnets in the front baffle of the speaker and blends almost seamlessly into the room. Bringing the virtues of a traditional box speaker to the install segment, the DALI PHANTOM H series are able to combine compact design with quality performance. The drivers are securely mounted in the ridged front baffle with the tweeter placed close to the woofer for optimum integration.
Wide Dispersion All DALI speakers are designed around the principle of wide dispersion. This entails an off-axis optimisation of the audio reproduction, helping deliver the music or movie audio to the largest possible part of the room. This technology is perfect for use with install speakers, since they are always mounted flush against either a wall or a ceiling.
Tweeter The 28mm ultra light soft dome tweeter sits in the front baffle close to the woofer for optimum integration. A large part of the DALI sonic definition comes from the use of a soft dome tweeter. The ferrite driven magnet motor system is able to handle more power and disperses heat generated in the voice coil rapidly, thereby reducing power compression.
Woofer Detail, timing, no coloration and control is what the wood fibre based low-loss woofer brings to the PHANTOM H series. A true Hi-Fi speaker is able to deliver a believable soundstage, render even the smallest micro detail in the audio signal without colouration while letting the amplifier do all the work. DALI has designed the woofers in the PHANTOM H series to meet these and many more demands.
Crossover Every component in the crossover is carefully selected for their audiophile quality and the crossover is designed especially for every PHANTOM H model. All PHANTOM H series models include PTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient device) safety function. This safeguards the driver components from overheating if played at very loud volumes over a long period.
Application With the four new models in the DALI PHANTOM H series, it is now possible to unite elegant design and great hi-fi sound in one speaker range. The different sizes of the DALI PHANTOM H series makes it easy to complete your hi-fi experience in a wide variety of different rooms. PHANTOM H-50 This compact in-wall speaker delivers an astonishingly clear, detailed and well-defined audio experience, and despite its size manages to generate a level of bass that is surprising.
