Dali Phantom E-50, E-60, E-80 In-Ceiling Speakers

Dali just released three new Phantom E-series in-ceiling speakers, which use a dogleg mounting system that has been improved for even easier and more precise mounting that does not require any special tools. The redesigned grills provide a style and look better fitted to the demands of the install customer. The new models replace the  Phantom Kompas 6M speakers.

The DALI PHANTOM E series is designed for optimum in-ceiling use, but will also work if mounted in-wall. The compact sized construction and the easy-to-use compass positioning system makes placing the speaker for the optimum sound experience very straight forward. Two discreet switches offer audio adjustment options to ensure that the listener gets the most from the speakers, even in rooms that traditionally are difficult.

The tilted woofer and the slightly of centre soft dome tweeter, blends gracefully and produces a richly detailed and crisp soundstage. The polypropylene cone is more resilient towards humidity than the traditional DALI cone material – wood fibre, making the PHANTOM E series flexible in regards to placements in covered outdoor areas and bathrooms.

Optionally, the PHANTOM E series can be fitted with a square front grill.  Available in three sizes allowing ease and flexibility of placement and the ability to fill even large rooms with great sound.

PHANTOM E-50 ($495 Pr.)
This compact, 5-inch in-ceiling speaker delivers an incredible clear and well-defined audio experience, and impresses with the level of bass it can produce. The size makes it perfect for a stereo setup in a small room, or as rear surround speakers in a larger room.

PHANTOM E-60 ($695 Pr.)
The 6-1/2-inch series model is the perfect all-around speaker. It is easy to install and delivers a full, complete audio experience. Use in a stereo setup in a kitchen or family room, or to complete a surround set up in a larger room as side or rear speakers. The PHANTOM E-60 includes the opportunity to mount the well-known DALI back-box.

PHANTOM E-80 ($895 Pr.)
With the 8-inch PHANTOM E-80, it is all about big sound. Drawing on every part of its 8″ woofer, it will fill large rooms with sound, while keeping the bass under control. This makes it perfect as main speakers in a living room setup for either stereo or a surround system.
