A home designed around music
When a private homeowner in Sen Sok, Cambodia, embarked on building a new residence, one vision stood clear: music should flow effortlessly through every corner of the house. With a sprawling 1,115 m² layout, the challenge was to achieve exceptional sound coverage without compromising the minimalist aesthetic of the home. The solution? DALI PHANTOM E-60 in-ceiling speakers, chosen for their renowned sound quality and discreet integration.
The space and its requirements
The homeowner’s brief was simple yet precise. Despite the large area, there were no significant acoustic challenges, allowing for straightforward speaker placement. A key priority was maintaining the home’s minimalist design, so all speakers needed to be discreet and unobtrusive. At the same time, the system had to integrate seamlessly with Bluesound, the chosen smart home platform, ensuring intuitive control throughout the house.
Achieving the perfect balance of high-performance audio and subtle design was essential, a combination that PHANTOM E-60 in-ceiling speakers deliver with ease.
Tailored audio solution
To ensure the entire home enjoyed seamless audio coverage, the PHANTOM E-60 in-ceiling speakers were installed throughout the residence. The white grilles blended effortlessly with the ceilings, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic while delivering exceptional sound quality. Each speaker was carefully positioned to create a uniform soundscape, allowing music to flow naturally from room to room. The system is powered by Bluesound amplifiers, which were tuned to provide a perfectly balanced and musical experience without the need for complex calibration. The result is a home where music can be enjoyed at any volume, from gentle background ambiance to fully immersive listening sessions, in every corner of the property.
DALI PHANTOM E-60
The PHANTOM E-60 is the perfect all-round loudspeaker. Its compact size makes it easy to install and fine-tune using the compass positioning system, but it's still big enough to deliver a complete audio experience. The PHANTOM E-60 is designed for in-ceiling use but can also be installed in-wall.

PHANTOM E-60 WR - the ideal option for outdoor use
