1.0 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations with your new DALI FAZON MIKRO loudspeaker. It is important to us that your new loudspeaker is set-up and connected optimally. We strongly recommend that you read this manual and follow its instructions before unpacking and installing the speaker. This manual contains instructions for set-up and connection, as well as tips and advice on how to get the most out of your FAZON MIKRO loudspeaker.

DALI is acclaimed around the world for unique loudspeakers developed to meet our uncompromising standards for design and performance. The goal for every single DALI loudspeaker is to create a listening experience in your home that will make you forget time and place.

Remember to sign up for the DALI newsletter at www.dali-speakers.com.

Enjoy.

2.0 UNPACKING

Be careful not to damage the contents when you unpack the parts. Check that all parts are contained in the cardboard box (see Table 1). Keep the packaging materials should your speaker need to be relocated or serviced.

Note: Take care not to scratch the high-gloss finish of the DALI FAZON MIKRO enclosure.

3.0 POSITIONING

Before setting up and connecting your new FAZON MIKRO loudspeakers, you should find the best possible placement relative to your listening position. It is a good idea to follow these simple guidelines.

Ideally, the FAZON MIKRO speakers should be placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with the (left and right stereo) speakers at a minimum of 1.5 metres (60") apart to achieve good stereo separation. Avoid placing objects between the loudspeakers and the listening position as obstacles can have a detrimental effect on tonal balance. Placing your new FAZON MIKRO depends on the particular kind of set-up you have in mind:

Figure 1 illustrates the optimal LCR set-up

Figure 2A illustrates the optimal Stereo set-up

Figure 2B illustrates the optimal 5.1 Surround set-up

Figure 2C illustrates the optimal 7.1 Surround set-up

4.0 CONNECTION

Before connecting or disconnecting any cables, always turn off the amplifier to avoid electrical shock or damage to your equipment.

Ensure the positive terminal on the bracket (marked red) is connected to the positive output terminal of the amplifier and negative (marked black) to the negative. Incorrect connection will result in poor stereo imaging and loss of low-frequency output. Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels.

Note: If you are using FAZON MIKRO in a surround system, follow the instructions included with your surround amplifier, as even a single loudspeaker connected out-of-phase will make the bass weaker and the soundstage unfocused.

Note: Make sure that the bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose wires that could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier (see figure 3A and 3B).

5.0 MOUNTING

The loudspeakers should ideally be positioned, so that the height of the tweeter is approximately at ear height when seated in your favorite listening position.

5.1 DALI FAZON MIKRO

5.1.1 Shelf mounting

Placing the FAZON MIKRO upright on a flat surface, like a shelf or TV furniture do not require the use of the supplied bracket. Mount the supplied pads on the bottom of the loudspeaker and place it at the desired location (see figure 4).

5.1.2 Wall mounting

Mount the supplied bracket on the wall at the desired position (see figure 5). Attach the loudspeaker to the bracket, and make sure the speaker cable is run along the sides of the bracket (see figure 6A and 6B).

5.2 DALI FAZON MIKRO VOKAL

5.2.1 Shelf mounting

Slide the protective cap over the rounded end of the supplied bracket (see figure 7B). Attach the bracket on the loudspeaker (see figure 7C). Mount the supplied pads on the bottom of the loudspeaker and place it at the desired location (see figure 7A).

5.2.2 Wall mounting

Mount the supplied bracket on the wall at the desired position (see figure 5). Attach the loudspeaker to the bracket, and make sure the speaker cable is run along the sides of the bracket (see figure 8A and 8B).

6.0 RUNNING-IN

Like any mechanical system (e.g. a new car), a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume (approximately 50 hours at medium volume is recommended). Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.

Note: NEVER place the DALI FAZON MIKRO with the front facing down without the grille, as this will cause deformation of the silk dome tweeter, which may damage its performance.

7.0 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Clean the high-gloss lacquer with a soft, dry micro-fibre cloth. If the rubber-painted front baffle is dirty, wipe with a soft, damp micro-fibre cloth. Be careful not to damage the 4" midrange driver when wiping them, as they are very fragile. It is very important that you avoid wiping the dome tweeter. When removed from the speaker baffle, the grille can be softly vacuumed and wiped with a well-wrun, lint-free cloth using a mild all-purpose cleaner.

7.1 Avoid direct sunlight

The surfaces of the FAZON MIKRO are sensitive to sunlight, which might cause colour fading over time. To reduce colour fading, we recommend that you avoid exposing the loudspeaker to direct sunlight.

Note: To remove the front grille carefully lift out both ends to release it from the loudspeaker (see figure 9).

8.0 DISPOSAL

If you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the EU member states, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). If you reside in countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal.

By following this process, you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health.

9.0 POWER AND ACOUSTIC PRESSURE

How loud a speaker is able to play and still sound good is totally dependent on the signal it has to reproduce. This also means that you cannot define an unequivocal playback level when comparing different speakers. An abundance of pure, undistorted output from a large amplifier is better than a distorted signal from a small amplifier stretched beyond its capacity. The signal from a distorting (clipping) amplifier puts a heavy strain on the high-frequency driver. Consequently, speakers are most often damaged by small amplifiers forced to work too hard, and very rarely by large amplifiers, which are practically running idle.

In addition, we recommend that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position and that you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers. Ensuring that you keep the volume low enough to keep the sound clear and undistorted will minimize the strain on both speakers and amplifier.

Note: We recommend that you use a high quality amplifier or surround receiver with FAZON MIKRO, as the quality of the reproduced sound will benefit from it. FAZON MIKRO is generally designed to work well with the amplifier that is integrated into many television sets, but in most cases, sound quality will benefit from using a good, external amplifier.

10.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In Table 2 you will find the most common specifications for our speakers. Please have in mind that there are countless methods for measuring speakers. However, none of them tell you anything useful about how a speaker really sounds. Only your ears can decide whether one speaker sounds better than another. Like all our speakers, DALI FAZON MIKRO is designed to reproduce music as honestly as possible.

Enjoy your new DALI FAZON MIKRO!
