DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 is a purpose-designed on-wall mounting frame from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Engineered specifically for the DALI Phantom M-675 in-wall loudspeaker, the OW Frame M-675 converts the M-675 from an in-wall speaker into a fully on-wall solution without requiring any wall cutouts or penetration. The frame mounts to any wall type, accommodates wall thicknesses from 8 mm to 68 mm, and positions the Phantom M-675 in either vertical Left/Right stereo orientation or horizontal centre-channel vocal mode. With a mounting depth of 100 mm, cable entry inlets on all four sides, and a neutral white finish, the OW Frame M-675 weighs 15 kg including the grille and is the manufacturer-matched on-wall solution for Phantom M-675 installations where wall penetration is not an option.

On-Wall Deployment for the DALI Phantom M-675

The DALI Phantom M-675 is engineered as a high-performance in-wall loudspeaker, but installation conditions frequently prevent wall penetration. Rental properties, concrete and masonry walls, heritage buildings with protected wall surfaces, rooms with concealed pipework or electrical services, and post-construction retrofits where re-plastering or re-tiling is not feasible all present scenarios where traditional in-wall installation is impractical. The OW Frame M-675 resolves each of these constraints by providing a rigid on-wall enclosure that houses the M-675 speaker flush against the wall surface, using the Phantom M-series dogleg clamping system to secure the speaker within the frame. The frame maintains the correct 100 mm mounting depth specified for the Phantom M-series, preserving the acoustic geometry the M-675 is designed to operate within while delivering a clean, architectural on-wall appearance.

Flexible Orientation and Cable Routing

The OW Frame M-675's large format, with cut-out dimensions of 1,298 x 226 mm, accommodates the full driver array of the Phantom M-675 in both installation orientations. In vertical Left/Right mode, the frame positions the M-675 as a full-range stereo or surround speaker in portrait orientation for music and multichannel audio applications. In horizontal vocal mode, the frame rotates the M-675 to landscape orientation for deployment as a wide-dispersion centre channel in a home cinema system, aligning the driver array laterally for optimal coverage of the primary seating area. Cable entry inlets on all four sides of the frame ensure that speaker cable can be routed from any direction regardless of wall construction type, cable conduit location, or skirting board configuration, giving installers complete flexibility in cable management for both vertical and horizontal deployments.

Key Features

• No Wall Cutout Required: The OW Frame M-675 mounts entirely on the wall surface, enabling the DALI Phantom M-675 to be installed in any room without penetrating the wall, preserving wall integrity in rental, heritage, masonry, and post-construction installation scenarios.
• Compatible with DALI Phantom M-675: Designed and dimensioned specifically for the Phantom M-675 in-wall loudspeaker, maintaining the correct 100 mm Phantom M-series mounting depth and dogleg clamping installation method.
• Dual Orientation Support: Installs in vertical Left/Right stereo and surround mode or horizontal vocal centre-channel mode, with cable entry inlets on all four frame sides for flexible wiring in either orientation.
• Universal Wall Compatibility: Mounts to any wall type including plasterboard, masonry, concrete, and timber stud construction, accommodating wall thicknesses from 8 mm to 68 mm within the Phantom M-series dogleg span range.
• Large Format Dimensions: Cut-out dimensions of 1,298 x 226 mm accommodate the full driver array of the Phantom M-675 in a slimline on-wall profile suited to contemporary room designs.
• White Finish: A neutral white surface integrates discreetly into any room interior and can be painted to match wall finishes for a fully custom appearance.
• Robust Construction: At 15 kg including the grille, the OW Frame M-675 provides the structural rigidity required to safely support and acoustically house the Phantom M-675 speaker against any wall surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675?

The DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 is a purpose-built on-wall mounting frame from DALI (Struer, Denmark) designed specifically for the DALI Phantom M-675 in-wall loudspeaker. It enables the Phantom M-675 to be deployed as an on-wall speaker without any wall cutouts, mounts to any wall type with thicknesses from 8 mm to 68 mm, supports both vertical stereo and horizontal centre-channel orientations, and maintains the 100 mm Phantom M-series mounting depth. It weighs 15 kg including the grille and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Do I need to cut into the wall to install the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675?

No, the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 mounts entirely on the wall surface and does not require any penetration of the wall. The Phantom M-675 speaker is installed into the frame using the standard Phantom M-series dogleg clamping system, securing the speaker within the on-wall enclosure in the same way it would be secured in a traditional in-wall cutout. This makes the OW Frame M-675 the correct solution for rental properties, heritage buildings, masonry and concrete walls, and any installation environment where wall penetration is not permitted or practical.

How does the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 compare to the OW Frame S-280?

The DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 and OW Frame S-280 are both on-wall mounting frames in the DALI OW Frame range, but they are matched to different speaker series with different mounting specifications. The OW Frame M-675 is designed for the Phantom M-675 in-wall speaker, uses the Phantom M-series 100 mm mounting depth and 8 to 68 mm dogleg span, and has cut-out dimensions of 1,298 x 226 mm and a weight of 15 kg. The OW Frame S-280 is designed for the larger Phantom S-280 in-wall speaker, uses the Phantom S-series 103 mm mounting depth and 10 to 70 mm dogleg span, and has cut-out dimensions of 1,495 x 495 mm with a substantially heavier weight of 36.5 kg. The two frames are not interchangeable between speaker series.

Can the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 be used horizontally as a centre channel?

Yes, the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 supports horizontal vocal mode installation for deployment of the Phantom M-675 as a centre channel speaker in a home cinema system. In horizontal orientation the M-675's driver array is aligned laterally, providing wide horizontal dispersion across the primary seating row for clear and focused centre channel dialogue reproduction. Cable entry inlets on all four sides of the frame allow speaker cable to be routed neatly from the wall in horizontal orientation without requiring additional cable management hardware.

What wall types is the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 compatible with?

The DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 is compatible with any wall type, including plasterboard and drywall on timber or metal stud construction, solid masonry and brick walls, poured concrete walls, and timber-panelled wall surfaces. The frame's dogleg clamping system accommodates wall surface thicknesses from 8 mm to 68 mm. Given the combined weight of 15 kg for the frame and grille plus the additional weight of the Phantom M-675 speaker, wall fixings must be selected and rated for the total installed load. A qualified installer should assess the wall substrate and specify appropriate anchors or fixings before proceeding with installation.

Where can I buy the DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 in Toronto or Canada?

The DALI Phantom OW Frame M-675 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada.

Is the DALI Phantom OW Frame range available for other Phantom M-series speakers?

Yes, the DALI Phantom OW Frame range includes dedicated frames for the full Phantom M-series in-wall speaker lineup. The OW Frame M-250 and OW Frame M-375 share the same cut-out dimensions of 751 x 226 mm and are matched to the Phantom M-250 and M-375 speakers respectively, while the OW Frame M-675 with its larger 1,298 x 226 mm dimensions is matched to the Phantom M-675. All three M-series frames use the 100 mm Phantom M-series mounting depth and 8 to 68 mm dogleg span. Vinyl Sound carries the complete OW Frame range and can advise on the correct frame for any Phantom M-series or S-series installation.
