Fazon Mikro features a 0.79" Soft-Dome Tweeter and 1 x 4" Wood fibre Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 2560Hz. On the other hand, the Fazon Mikro Vokal features a 0.79" Soft-Dome Tweeter and 1 x 4" Wood fibre Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 2560Hz.
Frequency Response
Fazon Mikro and Fazon Mikro Vokal has exactly the same frequency range of 95-25k Hz.
The graph below depicts how these two speakers compare with the max, min and average Low Frequency values of other speakers in the Bookshelf class in our database.
Low Frequency
Bookshelf Speakers
Neither pair reaches down to 20Hz, the usual definition of full-range, which is normal for speakers of this size. If you want the bottom octave for movies or bass-heavy music, add a subwoofer to whichever you choose. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.
Impedance and Sensitivity
Fazon Mikro and Fazon Mikro Vokal have the same Impedance of 6 ohms and their sensitivity is also same at 84 dB.

Power Range
Power
range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. Staying
within that range gives nominal performance; driving the speaker beyond its maximum wattage can damage it.
Fazon Mikro and Fazon Mikro Vokal have the same power range of 30-120 watts.
Note that higher power handling does not make a speaker louder: that depends mainly on
sensitivity and impedance. The calculator below shows how loud each of these actually plays
on a real amplifier.
Which plays louder on your amplifier?
Starting with a popular amplifier - change it to the one you own, or any you are
considering, and watch both numbers move.
Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring
Fazon Mikro features Binding post type posts and Fazon Mikro Vokal has a Binding post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.
Physical Specs
The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare DALI Fazon Mikro's and DALI Fazon Mikro Vokal's external dimensions. DALI Fazon Mikro has external dimensions of 196 x 113 x 96 mm () whereas DALI Fazon Mikro Vokal has external dimensions of 113 x 196 x 96 mm ().
Size, drawn to scale
Both speakers and both views share one scale, so everything here is directly comparable. Hover a box for its dimensions.
One scale for both, standing on the same surface and pushed back to the same wall, so the deeper one visibly sticks out further.
DALI Fazon Mikro Vokal needs about 73% more floor or shelf area.
Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited.
The base surface area of the DALI Fazon Mikro is approximately 108.5cm2 / 16.8inch2 and base area of the DALI Fazon Mikro Vokal is approximately 188.2cm2 / 29.2inch2. The Fazon Mikro requires 42% less surface area than the Fazon Mikro Vokal which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.
