Introduction Finding the space for a great sounding audio system is not always possible with more traditional loudspeakers. In recognition of this issue, DALI set out to create a solution for this problem with a small but great sounding speaker that was not only compact in size but also pleasing to the eye.
Cabinet When designing the cabinet for a compact speaker 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 maximising the internal volume is at the heart of any loudspeaker design project. Using traditional materials such as MDF or plastic in a small speaker whilst still providing the necessary rigidity and strength in the cabinet would result in almost no internal volume.
Tweeter The ultra light-weight weave fabric combined with the very capable magnet motor system allows the tweeter to reproduce high frequencies with higher accuracy. 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. The 20mm tweeter is a brand new design and has been especially developed for use with the MIKRO speakers utilising expertise gained over 30 years of loudspeaker design and manufacture.
Woofer The woofer is based on a lightweight non magnetic chassis and a powerful magnet motor system working together with the classic DALI wood fibre cone to reproduce true Hi-Fi sound. Standard 2 layer voice coil. FAZON MIKRO 4 ayer voice coil with cobber plated aluminium. Designing a woofer for a small cabinet requires a lot of focus on sensitivity as there is only a relatively small cone area to move the air.
Application 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 FAZON MIKRO, and it can be used mounted on the wall, on a bookshelf or cabinet or on the optional floor stands.
Summary The goal to build a compact lifestyle speaker that delivers true hi-fi quality sound has been fully met with the FAZON MIKRO. The FAZON MIKRO is a very elegant compact speaker, available in a choice of black or white high gloss lacquered aluminium cabinet with a richly detailed black coated composite front baffle and an ingenious designed snug fitting front grille. Its ultra light soft dome tweeter and low-loss woofer builds a rich, coherent, precise and very detailed soundstage.
