NO-COMPROMISE AUDIO

Innovative technology in frequency

The slim DALI PHANTOM S-80 in-wall loudspeaker offers a full frequency response similar to that of a floorstanding loudspeaker without sacrificing valuable living room space. Delivering no-compromise in-wall audio performance using proven speaker technologies, the S-80 includes our signature wood fibre cone, low-loss rubber surround, solid MDF front baffle, patented hybrid tweeter module and our innovative SMC magnet design.

LOW-PROFILE CABINET

Extremely compact for an in-wall speaker

The compact design of the PHANTOM S-80 fits into most standard walls. At only 103 mm deep, it's slim yet has the perfect inner volume for the woofer to perform at its best. The solid MDF cabinet provides a robust platform for the drivers, while the dogleg mounting system makes installation simple. When installed, the elegant, extruded aluminium frame and magnet mounted front grille let the PHANTOM S-80 integrate elegantly into any room.

PATENTED SMC

Reducing distortion with SMC

Developed originally for the EPICON series, the PHANTOM S-80 woofer features our patented SMC magnet system. SMC has the unique ability to deliver very high magnetic conductivity and very low electrical conductivity, which dramatically lowers distortion while delivering all the benefits of a traditional magnet system.

DRIVERS

Designed for bass & midrange performance

The specially developed 8" woofer is optimised for both bass and midrange performance. With 70% more surface area than a traditional 6½" woofer, it moves more air and produces higher sound pressure at very low frequencies. All this, while delivering the detail, rich midrange and full frequency response of a traditional floorstanding speaker. The PHANTOM S-80 also features our trademark hybrid tweeter technology. Combining a 28 mm soft dome tweeter with a high-performance planar tweeter, high frequencies are rendered with amazing detail and a wide dispersion pattern that outperforms all other tweeter technologies.

INSTALLATION

Optimising the hybrid tweeter module

When installing the PHANTOM S-80 into a wall, the planar tweeter should be placed at ear height. By placing the hybrid tweeter module at the bottom of the speaker, the S-80 can be installed higher up in line with larger wall-mounted TVs. The dome tweeter has also been rotated for a more seamless handover between the tweeter module and woofer, resulting in better integration with the room and improved bass performance.

WIDE DISPERSION

Easy integration in any room

All DALI speakers are designed around the principle of wide dispersion, which optimises off-axis listening to give a larger sweet spot and a better audio experience throughout a room. This principle is the perfect solution for PHANTOM S series speakers, which are mounted flush with the surface of a wall.

DALI's high-end in-wall system is the ideal setup for home cinema enthusiasts who like their speakers to be heard but not seen. The company has packaged its sonic knowhow into a series of discrete models to deliver a solid, detailed soundstage every bit as immersive as that developed by regular loudspeakers.

The front soundscape from the two S-280 and the S-180 proves to be homogeneous and spatially extremely dense from the beginning of the film. [...] The characteristic of the PHANTOM set is the absolutely closed soundscape. [...] There are also no acoustic "gaps" between the S-180 in front and the two S-280.
