is also important, that you do not position the loudspeaker too far away from the
listening position. We recommend that the greatest off axis listening angle is 45
degrees (measured between the center axis of the loudspeaker and the listening
position – see figure 2).
In a distributed sound system setup it is important, that the loudspeakers are
positioned so that the main area of the room(s) is covered with sound (see chapter
4.4). To achieve an even sound coverage, the loudspeakers should be installed
evenly in the room(s) (see figure 3).
Objects positioned between the loudspeaker and listening position might negatively
affect the sound quality. The PHANTOM K-series is designed to meet our wide
dispersion sound principle. By using loudspeakers with wide dispersion technology,
the distortion in the main listening area will be lowered and the room integration will
be better. The wide dispersion principle will also ensure that sound is spread evenly
within a large area in the listening room.
Every room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience
sound from a loudspeaker. The sound you hear consists of both direct sound from
the loudspeakers and reflected sound from the floor, ceiling 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 loudspeakers. Positioning the loudspeakers 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
DALI PHANTOM K-series incorporates dogleg brackets for ceiling/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 4). 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 an appropriate bit. The bit 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 loudspeaker
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
