PRODUCT DETAILS
True Hi-Fi sound can really come in a small and elegant design. With its curved high-gloss lacquered aluminum cabinet, coated composite front baffle and snug fitting grille the ultra-compact FAZON MIKRO fits perfectly in any living room.
Included with the FAZON MICRO is a multi function bracket which works as a slim wall bracket or a kick stand for the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL.
This compact loudspeaker is built around the renowned DALI trademark wood fiber cone driver and soft dome tweeter module. The 4” woofer delivers an accurate, detailed and dynamic sonic reproduction of music or movie sound, and the extremely strong cabinet design ensures that acoustic and mechanical resonances are almost non-existent. The 20 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter enables the FAZON MICRO to deliver a richly detailed mid-range, and to extend the high frequency well beyond the audible range.
Featuring as the centerpiece in a 5.1 surround system, working in a stereo setup or acting as rear speakers with any of the other FAZON models the FAZON MIKRO will always surprise and delight whether you are listening to music or watching a movie. The FAZON MIKRO is true Hi-Fi in a very small package.
Wall bracket
The ingenious multi-function bracket enables simple wall mounting of both the FAZON MIKRO and FAZON VOKAL. The close placement to the wall not only looks good but also increases the lower bass performance.
Push Button Terminals
Easy to use push button terminals make connecting the speaker cables simple and ensure a tight and optimal connection that will not loosen over time.
FAZON MICRO 5.1
Positioning a complete surround system in a discreet and elegant way can be a daunting task. FAZON MIKRO offers a stylish and unobtrusive solution to this problem and allows you to have a full 5.1 surround system in your living room that delivers a true hi-fi audio performance. Paired with the FAZON SUB 1 you have the perfect solution for a small living room.
PLACEMENT
The FAZON MIKRO features a wide dispersion pattern, a property shared with all DALI speakers, a technique that has been refined by the acoustic engineers at DALI over the years. DALI speakers in general should not be toed in, allowing a higher degree of freedom in placement, and a much larger 'sweet spot' in the listening position.
Flexibility is the key with VOKAL, and it can be used mounted on the wall, on a bookshelf or cabinet or on the optional floor stand. The supplied bracket has multiple functions and can be used both as a wall mount for the FAZON MIKRO or MIKRO VOKAL speaker.
The FAZON MIKRO VOKAL is designed to be positioned close to the wall, even when used with the optional floor stand. This not only minimizes the visual impact of the speaker on the room, but also helps the VOKAL extend the low bass performance.
SYSTEM
The FAZON MIKRO VOKAL will work perfectly when used in a surround sound setup. It also perfectly compliments the other products from the FAZON series, and can therefore easily be introduced to a system already featuring DALI FAZON SAT and LCR speakers as center channel.
The FAZON MIKRO VOKAL is a full range speaker that will supply a complete audio picture on its own, but adding a subwoofer will expand the sound to an even fuller and more dynamic experience - even in stereo. The FAZON SUB 1 is the perfect companion for a 3.1 FAZON MIKRO setup, but will work just as well in a surround setup. If even more bass is required or the system is being used in a larger room the soon to be released DALI SUB E-9 F would be the perfect choice in a FAZON MIKRO surround system.
TWEETER
True to the other FAZON series loudspeakers, DALI decided to use a lightweight soft-dome tweeter to supply all the high frequencies for the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL. The 20mm tweeter is a brand new design and has been especially developed for use with the MIKRO speakers utilizing expertise gained over 30 years of loudspeaker design and manufacture.
Based on a 55mm ferrite magnet, the VOKAL tweeter is able to handle more power and convert it into movement and not heat, thereby reducing power compression.
Soft felt damping is used on top of the pole piece to eliminate unwanted reflections in the area right under the dome. This allows the tweeter to generate high sound pressure levels and extreme excursions to render high frequencies with very high accuracy and speed. Thus enabling the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL to deliver stunning detail in the high frequencies and extend the sound image way above the audible limit of the ear for a more complete sound experience.
WOOFER
Designing a woofer for the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL requires a lot of focus on sensitivity as there is only a relatively small cone area to move the air. This, therefore, requires as much of the energy from the amplifier to be turned into movement as possible. Through the use of DALI's low-loss technologies, DALI's acoustic engineers have put together a woofer that not only delivers on high sensitivity, but also has a very linear magnet motor system with an 'easy on the amplifier' impedance curve.
The basket is constructed from a glass reinforced polymer that helps make it light, very strong and keeps it from interfering with the magnetic field surrounding the voice coil. The visual part of the woofer, the cone, is made from DALI's trademarked wood fiber mixed with a fine grain paper pulp, and is secured to the basket with a low-loss rubber surround. The voice coil is surrounded by four layers of copper plated aluminum wire to build a very strong but light magnet motor system that delivers highly controlled motion of the voice coil, but also keeps it easy to drive.
All this translates into a woofer that is easy to drive, even when used with smaller stereo systems, reproduces even the smallest micro details in the audio picture, and has the ability to generate low bass at a surprisingly high level for a woofer of this size .
CABINET
When designing the cabinet for the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL, one of the toughest challenges is providing the amount of necessary internal volume. Volume is a key part in making a small speaker sound big, and maximizing the internal volume is at the heart of any loudspeaker design project. One of the objectives when designing the FAZON MIKRO VOKAL was therefore to find a material that met all of the above criteria but, at the same time, offer the ability to shape the cabinet in a way that would offer both optimum sound and visual qualities.
Drawing on the experience gained from designing the multi award-winning FAZON series, die-cast aluminum was quickly the front-runner for the cabinet construction. Being up to ten times stronger than wood, and twenty times stronger than plastic, aluminum has many advantages. It also offers the possibility to be shaped into a non-square shape thus avoiding standing wave modes to ensure the perfect acoustic environment for the drivers. It also creates a stunning exterior which matches the lifestyle segments where the FAZON series is targeted.
Utilizing the great strength of aluminum allowed our design team to design a cabinet with a much thinner structure which maximizes the precious internal volume without the loss of the required rigidity. The perfect mix of materials removes any potential internal resonance and ensures that the cabinet does not add any unwanted acoustic energy to the sound generated by the drivers.
