4.3 Connection of Cables/Selection of Cables
Your choice of cables is a crucial element in your installation. Be aware that replacing cables
after installation is a difficult task. therefore, select quality cables from the beginning. DALI has a
range of speaker cables, which are suitable. Please consult your authorized DALI dealer for further
advice on which cable to select.
When connecting the cable to the loudspeaker and the amplifier, it is important that the cable is
connected in correct phase. the red (+) loudspeaker terminal must be connected to the red (+)
amplifier terminal. the black (-) loudspeaker terminal must be connected to the black (-) amplifier
terminal. If the cables are not connected in correct phase, the soundstage will typically be diffuse
and the bass will be weak.
to insert the cable end into the spring loaded terminals of the speaker, remove cable insulation so
that approx. ½" / 12 mm 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 (see figure 6).

the enclosed cut-out template (see figure 7) can be used to initially visualize how your speakers
should be mounted and for marking where the cut-out should be made. tape the template at the
preferred mounting position, so that you can mark the necessary opening. the cut-out for the DALI
PHANtOM LEKtOR must be 10.3" x 10.3" / 262 x 262 mm mm. the minimum mounting depth
is 3,8" / 95 mm.

to match your home décor, the front grille can be painted with the same colour as used on the wall
where the speaker is to be mounted.
the grille can be painted in any color, but we recommend applying spray paint suited for metal
and plastic applications.
Painting the grille requires great care and attention and should only be done by a
qualified professional.
NOTE: the grille must be removed from the loudspeaker before painting it.
Before painting the front grille, remove the logo badge (if mounted). After painting, the logo badge
can be attached.
the front grille must be painted on the front side only. Immediately after painting it, spray the
surface clean from the rear side using compressed air to remove any paint residuals from the
grille holes, as dried paint can block the sound.
