DALI PHANTOM M-80 A in-ceiling speaker and PHANTOM CI AMP-4750 Amplifier

ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) 2025 begins this week in Barcelona and runs through February 7th; the show has become one of the most important for the CI industry which uses the annual event to show off the latest in TVs, architectural (in-ceiling/in-wall) speakers and other components to distributors and retailers in the E.U.

DALI, a regular exhibitor at the show, is on hand to demonstrate two additions to its Custom Install product line; the PHANTOM M-80 A in-ceiling speaker, alongside the new PHANTOM CI AMP-4750 DSP 4-Channel Amp.

From Michael Munch, CI Business Development Manager at DALIThe PHANTOM M-80 A expands the PHANTOM series and offers more options for discreet in-ceiling installations. The DALI M-80 A offers movie fans a wide range of immersive surround sound possibilities when combined with the existing PHANTOM range. The PHANTOM CI AMP 4750 DSP is a powerful and smart 4-channel DSP amplifier which can be the heart of a home theatre system but can also be used with traditional DALI hi-fi speakers which offers great flexibility.”

DALI PHANTOM M-80 A 

The PHANTOM M-80 A is an in-ceiling speaker that combines the DALI electro-acoustic design with angled directional dispersion to provide high-end performance where in-ceiling speakers may be the choice of installation. It is suitable for both stereo and home theater installations.

The PHANTOM M-80 A incorporates a 7-inch bass/midrange driver, angled at 25°, to provide sound dispersion that can be beamed in one direction if desired. This beaming capability enables optimum dispersion for specific audio installations needed to maximize sound quality at the listening position. The M-80 A also features compass-style direction indicators further to configure dispersion to suit the installation.

The Bottom Line

The CI category exploded during the COVID pandemic and DALI has taken advantage of the newfound interest in multi-room audio systems and in-ceiling/in-wall speakers with a rather broad range of products. The Danish manufacturer designs and builds everything in-house (including the screws that fasten drivers to their enclosures) and the market has responded rather favorably to its products which are focused on high-end performance and strong value for the money.

Price & Availability

The DALI PHANTOM M-80 A is expected to be available beginning sometime in March 2025 for $1,100 USD per speaker (EU: €799, UK: £699).

The DALI AMP-4750 DSP is expected to be available beginning sometime during March 2025 at the following price: EU: €4199, UK: £3999, (US pricing forthcoming).

Tip: Look up Authorized DALI Dealers near you. For those attending ISE, the DALI Booth will be at  2E150 – Hall 2 (“Residential and Smart Building”).
