INTRODUCTION TO DALI PHANTOM VOKAL

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL provides the unique,

acclaimed sound of the other DALI PHANTOM loud-

speakers for easy and discreet integration into your

home. DALI PHANTOM VOKAL is primarily intended

for use as a center channel in a surround sound

setup. But, it can also be used in stereo or surround

setups – either mounted in a wall or in the ceiling.

DALI recommends the use of a subwoofer such

as DALI IKON SUB or DALI PIANO FORTE with

the PHANTOM loudspeakers. This will permit the

reproduction of the lowest frequencies for an overall

enhancement of your sound system.

Your choice of cables is a crucial element in your

installation. Be aware that replacing cables after

installation is a difﬁcult task. Therefore, select qual-

ity cables such as DALI SILVER VAWE TWO.

In the following paragraphs, the features of DALI

PHANTOM VOKAL are described.

ENGLISH

DOGLEGS

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL incorporates dogleg brack-

ets for wall or ceiling mounting. The brackets attach

the loudspeaker ﬁrmly to the rear of the surface on

which it is mounted. They extend out at a 90-degree

angle when the screws are tightened. The screws

should be tightened so that the loudspeaker sits

securely in place – but be careful not to tighten them

too much. If you need to remove the loudspeaker,

loosen the screws approximately 5 to 10 turns coun-

terclockwise and the brackets will loosen their grip.

Do not unscrew more than 5 to 10 turns or the

bracket may fall off the screws.

CONNECTION OF CABLES

Connect cables so that the loudspeaker is in correct phase. The red (+) loudspeaker terminal must

be connected to the red (+) ampliﬁer terminal. The black (-) loudspeaker terminal must be con-

nected to the black (-) ampliﬁer terminal.

DROP WIRE

Steel wire, max 30cm/10” drop

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL must be ﬁtted with a drop

wire to prevent the speaker from falling in the event

of ﬁre, earthquake, etc. To prevent injury or damage

from a fall, ﬁt a steel wire or other non-ﬂammable

connection between a solid support in the house

(ceiling beam, wall stud, etc.) and the eyehook on

the PHANTOM VOKAL as shown.

ENGLISH

Remove insulation so that approx. 12mm/½” of bare

wire is exposed. Press the top of the terminal down

and insert the bare wire into the opening. When the

wire is fully in place with no loose strands exposed,

release the terminal. The cable is now connected.

NOTE: The grille is very tightly ﬁtted to the

loudspeaker to prevent rattle noise. Therefore

the grille can be difﬁcult to mount and dis-

mount. To dismount the grille, carefully press

one end of the grille while pulling the grille

from the loudspeaker. When dismounted in one

end, carefully pull the other end of the grille. If

you cannot grip the ends, you can carefully use

an awl or a small screwdriver.

When mounting the grille, be careful not to scratch

the loudspeaker. Follow the guide for dismounting the

grille, but in reverse order.

On the inside of the grille there is a piece of non-woven. The non-woven is on the grille to protect

the drivers against dust and dirt. Therefore the non-woven must remain on the grille.

The enclosed template can be used to ini-

tially visualize how your speakers should be

mounted. Tape the template perfectly level

at the selected mounting position, so that

you can mark the necessary opening.

PAINTING COVER MASK

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL is delivered with a transparent painting cover mask (item no. 951011-1-

0), which can be used to cover the bafﬂe and drivers, if the loudspeaker should be painted. For

further information on painting the speaker, look in the chapter about painting DALI PHANTOM

VOKAL.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE LISTENING ROOM

Every room has it own acoustics that affect the way we hear sound from loudspeakers. It is a

question of how the room receives acoustic energy and releases it again. You can improve the

acoustics of your listening room in different ways.

Part of the sound that you hear does not come directly from the loudspeaker. Instead, it is

reﬂected from the ﬂoor, ceiling and walls. Furniture, plants and carpets can reduce reﬂections. If

the sound is overly bright, soft, absorbent objects like curtains and carpets can help.

ENGLISH

Both the quantity and quality of the bass depend on the size and shape of the room and the place-

ment of the loudspeakers in it. For instance, bass can be boosted by placement near a sidewall and

even more by placement in a corner. Corner placement provides substantial added reﬂections.

As a general guideline, avoid large, hard, reﬂective surfaces in the immediate vicinity of the loud-

speakers.

X X

PLACEMENT IN THE LISTENING ROOM

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL incorporates Wide Dispersion technology.

Wide Dispersion means that the area in front of the loudspeakers where a full three-dimensional

sonic image is achieved is a great deal wider than with other loudspeakers. This ensures substan-

tially better sound across a larger area within your listening room, when compared to loudspeakers

without Wide Dispersion characteristics.

In a surround sound system, the PHANTOM VOKAL should ideally be placed in the center between

the left and right speaker (centered below a TV or a projection screen).

The ideal mounting height for DALI PHANTOM VOKAL is approximately 50cm/20” above the ﬂoor

(to the bottom of the speaker).

ENGLISH

INSTALLATION

Please study and follow the safety guidelines found

on page 6 of this manual!

DALI PHANTOM VOKAL must be installed by a

trained professional to ensure that all safety require-

ments are met to prevent it from falling, etc.

The following tools and items are necessary for

proper installation:

• Spirit level and tape measure

• Pencil and saw or knife

• 3 mm Allen wrench/bit (included with

loudspeaker)

• Wire cutter and cutting nippers for mounting of

steel wire

• Drill and bit

• Steel wire

• Hook and rawlplugs of the correct sizes

• Paint (if needed)

• Protective template (if needed)

• Compressed air (if needed)

When the correct placement has been found, tape

the mounting template to the surface perfectly level.

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 in pencil.

A steel drop wire must be ﬁrmly attached between

a solid support in the house (ceiling beam, wall

stud, etc.) and the eyehook on the DALI PHANTOM

VOKAL in order to hold the speaker in case of a fall.

This is particularly important for ceiling mounting,

where a falling speaker can be life threatening!

ENGLISH

Connect cable to the terminals - being careful to con-

nect the ampliﬁer’s red (+) terminal to the loud-

speaker’s red (+) terminal and the ampliﬁer’s black

(-) terminal to the loudspeaker’s black (-) terminal.

The loudspeaker cable must not hang loose from

the terminals. It must be securely fastened with

cable ties or by other means inside the wall. If left

unsupported, cable can gradually come loose, creat-

ing a poor electrical connection between wire and

terminals.

Turn on the system and listen to the loud-

speakers before ﬁnal mounting to make

sure that all connections are correct.

Insert the speaker in the wall opening and

tighten the 6 screws in the loudspeaker

brackets with the enclosed Allen wrench/

bit so that the speaker is ﬁrmly mounted in

place. Be careful to avoid over-tightening

the screws and shredding the thread.

PAINTING THE LOUDSPEAKER (OPTIONAL)

Painting the loudspeaker requires great care and attention and should only be done by a qualiﬁed

professional.
