Dali Phantom M80a Angled Inceiling Speaker

Dali Phantom M-80A

The DALI PHANTOM M-80 A is a high-performance in-ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver immersive, three-dimensional sound for modern home cinema installations. Specifically engineered for Dolby Atmos®, DTS® and Auro-3D® height channels, the M-80 A creates a realistic overhead sound experience while maintaining the discreet appearance of a flush-mounted architectural speaker.

At the heart of the PHANTOM M-80 A is an 8-inch wood fibre bass/midrange driver, paired with DALI’s renowned 28mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter. The specially angled driver configuration directs sound precisely towards the listening position, ensuring exceptional clarity, accurate placement of overhead effects and seamless integration with the rest of your surround sound system.

Built using DALI’s low-loss driver technology and advanced Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) magnet system, the M-80 A delivers detailed, natural sound with extremely low distortion. Wide Dispersion technology further enhances the listening experience by creating an expansive sound field that remains consistent across a broad seating area, making every seat the best seat in the room.

Designed for simple installation, the PHANTOM M-80 A features a robust dogleg mounting system and a slim magnetic grille that can be painted to match any ceiling, allowing the speaker to blend almost invisibly into its surroundings. The rigid construction minimises unwanted resonance, ensuring clean, accurate audio reproduction for years to come.

Whether used as dedicated height speakers in a Dolby Atmos home cinema or as part of a premium immersive audio system, the DALI PHANTOM M-80 A delivers precise overhead effects, exceptional detail and the renowned sound quality that DALI is known for.

ADJUSTABLE DIRECTIVITY

Optimised for the listening position

With a powerful 7 inch bass/midrange driver angled at 25° and an adjustable tweeter, the PHANTOM M-80 A (angled) lets you direct the sound with precision for optimum dispersion and the best-possible sound quality at the listening position. The M-80 A also incorporates our compass-style direction indicators that make fine adjustments quick and convenient.

IN-CEILING SURROUND SOUND

Discreet speakers with an exceptional sound

With its angled drivers, the discreet M-80 A in-ceiling speaker recreates the immersion of a traditional floor, wall or shelf-mount home theatre setup. Delivering exceptional LCR (left, centre, right), surround and height channel audio, the M-80 A is the perfect solution when floorspace is limited, side and rear walls are not suitable for mounting speakers or when a more discreet setup is preferred.

CLASS-LEADING SOUND QUALITY

A natural, uncoloured midrange

Designed to complement our high-performance M-series in-wall speakers, the M-80 A’s 7 inch bass/midrange driver with lightweight paper and wood fibre cone, low-loss rubber surround and DALI’s patented SMC-based magnet system offers rich, full low frequencies and a natural, uncoloured midrange. Combine that with the new oversized 28 mm soft dome tweeter with an impressively extended and detailed upper-frequency response and you have a speaker that offers class-leading sound quality in the angled in-ceiling speaker category.

EASY ONE-PIECE INSTALLATION

Install with no need for special tools

The simple dogleg clamp system and magnetic grille make installing the M-80 A quick and convenient with no need for special tools. Simply connect the speaker cables using the spring terminals and insert the speaker into the aperture – only 134 mm mounting depth required. Fine-tune using the compass-style markings and turn the four clamp screws to secure the speaker in place. Then fit the magnetic grille over the speaker and you’re done.

PAPER AND WOOD FIBRE CONE

A cleaner and more uncoloured sound reproduction

The M-80 A bass/midrange driver features our unique paper and wood fibre cone material. While adding stiffness to control unwanted vibrations, the wood fibre material also offers non-uniform break-up characteristics to lower colouration and distortion for a cleaner and more uncoloured sound reproduction. The lightweight cone also increases driver sensitivity and makes it easier for the amplifier to control at higher frequencies.

28 MM SOFT DOME TWEETER

A naturally balanced, effortless and coherent midrange performance

The newly developed, oversized 28 mm tweeter generates higher sound pressures with less excursion for exceptional driver control. The oversized design also extends low-frequency response, providing a more seamless handover from the bass/midrange driver that creates a naturally balanced, effortless and coherent midrange performance.
