Compact PHANTOM series speakers are ideal for bringing Hi-Fi sound to any room in the home, while the full-size M and high-end S-series deliver the same musical experience as traditional high-end home speakers in a powerful stereo setup.
Below, you can see how PHANTOM series speakers are designed to be installed in a space.
* PHANTOM H-120 is intended primarily for in-wall installations
** S and M-series can also be on-wall mounted using an optional frame
What are the benefits of custom install speakers?
As mentioned, mounting custom install speakers in a ceiling or wall is a great way to fill a room with rich sound without having to make space for traditional cabinet speakers.
Also, low-profile CI speakers install discreetly, almost imperceptibly, into any room. No speaker cables, no cabinets, just great Hi-Fi sound.
Custom surround speakers
If you’re planning an integrated multi-speaker home cinema setup, custom install speakers are an excellent choice. In a 5.1 or 7.1 setup, DALI PHANTOM in/on-wall speakers provide immersive audio for your main, surround and rear channels, while in a 9.1 Dolby Atmos setup, PHANTOM in-ceiling speakers are tailor-made for the job.
Note that in-ceiling speakers can also deliver surround channel audio, if your sofa is positioned against your rear wall.
Weather-resistant speakers
When you want to relax on the terrace with good sounds, you need to ensure your speakers are up to the task. Our weather-resistant custom install speakers, like the PHANTOM E-80 WR offer the same class-leading performance and versatility of our regular E-series in-ceiling speakers with durable weather resistance and IP65-rated ingress protection.
Weather resistance also means you can enjoy your favourite tracks in other high-humidity environments, such as bathrooms. Shower-time singing sessions have never sounded better.
In-store speakers
Custom installation speakers are also a great fit for retail spaces, as they provide quality sound while remaining partially or fully hidden from view. Tailored in-store music can also help to reinforce a brand’s identity and even subtly influence the mood of shoppers to create the best-possible retail experience.
How to install custom speakers
DALI PHANTOM speakers come with detailed manuals and cut-out templates to make any custom speaker installation simple.

Which speakers are best for your custom installation?
DALI install speakers are available for almost any application and budget, whether you’re just looking for ambient music in your kitchen or you have your heart set on a thunderous home cinema installation.
When you want the biggest and best, look no further than the DALI PHANTOM S-series. With SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) driver magnet technology and our Hybrid Tweeter module, these are true high-end home speakers.
If you need something slimmer and at a lower budget, the DALI PHANTOM M-250 and M-375 feature a narrow design with a choice between our Hybrid Tweeter module (M-375) or soft-dome only (M-250). The M-series is a good choice for side and rear surround speakers and, due to their design, also perform great as front and centre-channel speakers.
The PHANTOM H-series has a selection of square and rectangular designs that are more compact than the M and S series. With wood-fibre woofers and high-performance soft-dome tweeters, they deliver excellent, room-filling sound.
With the PHANTOM E-series, you get a selection of extremely flexible speakers that can be mounted in-wall or in-ceiling. The E-series make great height speakers for Dolby Atmos setups and can be rendered almost invisible in rooms where you want them to be heard but not seen.
The PHANTOM K-series builds on the virtues of the E-series, with improved sound performance and a directional soft-dome tweeter that lets you adjust the sound to any room. There’s also a low-profile version for installations that won’t allow for regular in-ceiling speakers.
If you want a custom install installation with true room-shaking performance, the PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer is the perfect addition to a CI setup. Paired with the PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP, this groundbreaking low-profile subwoofer offers amazing versatility and all the low-end performance you need for a powerful home cinema or 2.1 setup.
