PMC LAUNCHES FOUR CI SPEAKERS
PMC has unveiled four models in its custom installation series at ISE 2020. The ci30, ci45, ci65 and ci90 complete the offering in this series of slimline, high-performance onwall and in-wall custom installation loudspeakers, following the launch of the ci140 and ci140sub at CEDIA 2019.
The ci30, the smallest in range, is designed for discreet applications and may be installed in-ceiling, in or on-wall. While it may be compact, the ci30 reportedly out-performs speakers twice its size, thanks to the proprietary ATL technology, making it ideal for surround channels, including immersive formats like Dolby Atmos and stereo in smaller rooms.
Using a larger cabinet provides the ci45 with all the speed and power of the ci30, but provides it with a greater image depth, bass extension and dynamism. By adding a second, long throw, 130mm bass driver, the ci65 creates greater slam and presence, with increased headroom and extension. This model is suitable for use in medium to large sized theatres for all channels in a multi-speaker system. With standard wall construction in mind, the ci90 slim is encased in a long slim cabinet, 280mm (11in) wide, which fits neatly between studwork to provide more flexibility as a retrofit option.
All four are designed with a shallow depth for wall mounting and may also be used in-wall, due to an optional mounting sleeve which fits around the cabinets to conceal the in-wall mounting system, creating an elegant on-wall model. The use of one product for both in-wall and onwall reduces the number of models that need to be stocked and gives the installer greater mounting flexibility. PMC has also included the Qikfire spring loaded mounting system, which, with a simple twist of a screwdriver, mounts the loudspeaker securely and quickly and permits post installation micro adjustment.

NEW
DALI LAUNCHES ALL NEW IN-WALL SPEAKER RANGE
The all new DALI PHANTOM M Series has been created for movie and music lovers looking for astonishing sound from a discreet, in-wall speaker solution.
Built on experience from the award-winning PHANTOM S, the new M series is the next step in DALI’s strategy to design high-quality, easy to install CI products.
The series offers two versatile models; the PHANTOM M-250 (SRP £699 per piece) and PHANTOM M-375 (SRP £899 per piece). Although different in technologies, both models offer spacious and impressive performance from a very slim cabinet. With integrated sealed back-boxes made with low-loss glass-reinforced ABS, each model delivers the best possible sound along with quick and easy installation.
PHANTOM M-250 includes DALI’s patented SMC technology, and comes with two 5¼” woofers, a 28mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter and two bass ports. All of the drivers are positioned in a symmetrical design, making it well suited for use as both an LCR speaker for home cinema setups, or simply as a pair for stereo use.
The PHANTOM M-375 integrates one larger 7” woofer which employs the full core of SMC technology, a hybrid tweeter module and two passive radiators. The passive radiators support the woofer to deliver tight and impressive bass weight, whilst the hybrid tweeter system adds articulate and well balanced treble. With cabinet dimensions measuring 250 x 775 mm, and only 100 mm in depth, the PHANTOM M series produces a performance which belies its size. The slim dimensions along with its paintable grille, also allow the M series to blend in well with any home environment.
The PHANTOM M series proves that a slim in-wall speaker can deliver the authentic DALI sound without visually dominating the room.
