DALI PHANTOM M Series speakers provide the unique and acclaimed sound
of a DALI speaker with easy and discreet integration into your home. The DALI
PHANTOM M Series is equally suited to stereo and home theatre systems (see
4.3) where great sound quality is a high priority. The DALI PHANTOM M Series is
also appropriate for larger scale installations where high quality sound is required;
halls or retail spaces, for example. The DALI PHANTOM M Series can provide
full-range audio, however for reproduction of the lowest bass frequencies and
an overall performance enhancement, a subwoofer can be integrated with your
PHANTOM M series system.
The switch found on the front panel of the speakers (see figure 8) can be used
to adjust the sound mode. The HF+ setting is recommended for applications
where an acoustically transparent video screen is located between the speaker
and the listening position. The high frequency attenuation caused by the screen
will be compensated in this mode. In all other applications, the normal mode is
recommended.
For stereo and home theatre we recommend that the speakers are located
symmetrically around the listening position to achieve the optimum soundstage
(see figure 1A + 1B). To avoid compromising clarity from the speakers, it is also
important not to locate them too far away from the listening position.
