Benefits of Dali Phantom S-280 In-wall LCR Speaker
The ultimate performance
The DALI PHANTOM S-280 offers ultimate custom install loudspeaker performance without sacrificing valuable living room space. With proven speaker technologies, such as the signature wood fibre cones, low-loss rubber surrounds, solid MDF front baffle, hybrid tweeter module and the patented SMC magnet design, the S-280 delivers a no-compromise in-wall audio performance that’s out of this world.
Low-profile cabinet
The PHANTOM S-280 features a slim cabinet that fits into almost any standard wall. The extruded aluminium surround provides an elegant, non-intrusive frame for the speaker, while the magnet-mounted front grille adds a discreet visual presence. The solid MDF cabinet provides a robust platform for the drivers, while the dogleg mounting system makes installation simple.
Reducing distortion with SMC
The two 8″ woofers include Dali’s patented SMC magnet system developed originally for the EPICON series. 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.
Hybrid tweeter
Combining a 29 mm soft dome tweeter with a high-performance planar tweeter, the patented hybrid tweeter module renders high frequencies with amazing detail and with a wide dispersion pattern that outperforms all other tweeter technologies. The module can also be rotated when installed as a centre speaker in a multichannel setup.
Optimised woofer
The two specially developed 8″ SMC woofers are optimised for both bass and midrange performance, featuring the signature wood fibre cone and patented SMC magnet system developed for the EPICON series. The two 10″ passive bass reflex woofers are based on the passive radiator from our high-end SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer. By using the same aluminium chassis and soft surround carbon fibre cone, the passive radiators reach deep down into the true lower frequencies to deliver a believable large-box speaker sound in a very slim cabinet.
Wide dispersion
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.
