DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP Amplifier at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP is a two-channel custom installation power amplifier from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Delivering 2 x 500 watts of Danish-developed Class-D amplification with a THD+N below 0.05%, the AMP-2500 DSP combines effortless output power with integrated Digital Signal Processing and model-specific presets for DALI Phantom S-series and M-series flush-mount loudspeakers. Bridgeable to 1,000 watts mono, Wi-Fi and LAN connected, and controlled through the web-based Phantom AMP Configurator from any device, the AMP-2500 DSP is the dedicated amplification partner for the DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer and the complete Phantom CI speaker ecosystem, serving high-performance home cinema installations, multi-room audio systems, and commercial environments across Canada.

Class-D Amplification and Bridgeable Output

The AMP-2500 DSP is powered by 2 x 500 watts of Danish-developed Class-D amplification operating at extremely high efficiency with ultra-low distortion across the full 12 Hz to 20 kHz audio bandwidth. The signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 108 dB, placing the AMP-2500 DSP among the quietest custom installation amplifiers in its class. Both channels can be bridged into a single 1,000-watt mono output, providing the headroom required to drive the DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer at full output, with sufficient reserve power for up to four SUB S-100 units in a single installation. Fan cooling maintains stable thermal performance during extended high-power operation, and the 2U rack-mountable chassis integrates cleanly into any custom installation equipment rack.

Integrated DSP and Phantom AMP Configurator

The AMP-2500 DSP includes a comprehensive integrated DSP engine accessible through the web-based Phantom AMP Configurator, operable from any Wi-Fi-enabled computer, tablet, or smartphone via Wi-Fi or LAN ethernet. Available DSP tools include parametric equalisers, audio limiters and compressors, routing matrix, input and output level settings, speaker delay, and factory-loaded model-specific speaker presets matched to DALI's Phantom S-series and M-series loudspeakers and the Phantom IW SUB S-100. Presets are updated on a continuous basis as new DALI CI products are released, ensuring the AMP-2500 DSP remains optimally configured for current and future DALI Phantom installations without requiring manual DSP configuration by the installer.

The Dedicated Partner for the DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100

The DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer is developed exclusively for use with the Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP. The integrated DSP within the AMP-2500 DSP has been fine-tuned in conjunction with the SUB S-100's acoustic profile, providing optimised crossover, equalization, and level settings that cannot be replicated with a generic power amplifier. With 2 x 500 watts of Class-D output and the ability to bridge to 1,000 watts mono, the AMP-2500 DSP provides sufficient power for up to four SUB S-100 units simultaneously, making it the complete and correct amplification solution for any DALI Phantom subwoofer installation regardless of room size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP?

The DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP is a two-channel custom installation power amplifier from DALI (Struer, Denmark) delivering 2 x 500 watts of Class-D amplification with THD+N below 0.05% and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 108 dB. It includes integrated Digital Signal Processing with model-specific DALI speaker presets, Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity, and a web-based Phantom AMP Configurator. It bridges to 1,000 watts mono and is the dedicated amplification partner for the DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer, available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

How does the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP compare to the CI AMP-4750 DSP?

The DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP is a two-channel amplifier delivering 2 x 500 watts with 1,000 watts bridged mono, while the CI AMP-4750 DSP is a four-channel amplifier delivering 4 x 750 watts with 3,000 watts total bridged output. The AMP-4750 DSP additionally supports 70V and 100V loudspeaker line outputs and features a patented UREC power supply with Power Factor Correction, making it the correct choice for larger commercial and multi-zone installations. The AMP-2500 DSP is the purpose-matched partner for the Phantom IW SUB S-100 subwoofer and the optimum choice for single home cinema rooms and smaller multi-room systems.

Is the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP required for the Phantom IW SUB S-100?

Yes, the DALI Phantom IW SUB S-100 in-wall subwoofer is developed exclusively for use with the Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP. The AMP-2500 DSP's integrated DSP includes presets that are fine-tuned specifically to match the SUB S-100's acoustic profile, a level of optimisation that cannot be achieved with a generic power amplifier. Using any other amplifier with the SUB S-100 will result in suboptimal performance and may void the DALI warranty. The AMP-2500 DSP has sufficient output power to drive up to four SUB S-100 units simultaneously in bridged mono configuration.

What DSP tools are available in the Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP?

The DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP includes parametric equalisers, audio limiters and compressors, a routing matrix, input and output level settings, speaker delay, and model-specific DALI speaker presets. All tools are accessed and configured through the web-based Phantom AMP Configurator, accessible from any Wi-Fi or LAN-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone. DALI provides continuous updates to the speaker preset library as new Phantom CI products are released, ensuring the AMP-2500 DSP remains optimally configured for current DALI installations without requiring manual recalibration by the installer.

Can the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP be used in commercial installations?

Yes, the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP is suitable for commercial audio installations in bars, restaurants, cafes, fitness centres, and retail environments. Its web-based Phantom AMP Configurator enables remote management of DSP settings, input routing, and output levels from any connected device, making it practical for multi-zone commercial deployments where regular on-site access to the amplifier is inconvenient. For larger commercial spaces requiring 70V and 100V distributed audio line output or more than two amplifier channels, the CI AMP-4750 DSP is the more appropriate choice.

Where can I buy the DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP in Toronto or Canada?
