Input Type

Fazon Sat has Binding post type connectors and lets bi-amping/bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can enhance the overall transparency of your loudspeakers by using separate speaker wires for the low and high-frequency drivers from a single amplifier. Bi-amping, on the other hand, involves using separate amplifiers for the high and low-frequency drivers, potentially resulting in a greater dynamic range and reduced distortion.

Recommended Accessories

Here is a list of accessories that we think you may need for the DALI Fazon Sat.

  • Speaker Cable and Connectors
    • Speaker Cables with Banana Plugs: If you know the lenght of the cable you need, this is the easier option to connect your speakers with your amp.
    • Speaker Cables without Connectors: If you are not sure about the lenght or need longer than standard cables with plugs, choose this option.
    • Banana Connectors and Plugs: If you chose the cables without connectors option or already have some cable around, pick the banana plugs separately.
  • Vibration Isolators: IsoAcoustics isolators are our favorite isolators but you may find more affordable options too.
  • Acoustic Panels and Treatments: Your room is as important as your stereo equipment so acoustic treatments goes a long way in improving the overall performance.

Frequently Asked Questions about DALI Fazon Sat

What amplifier do you need for the DALI Fazon Sat?

DALI rates the DALI Fazon Sat for 20-120 watts of amplifier power. It is a 6-ohm speaker, which most amplifiers and receivers handle without trouble.

Is the DALI Fazon Sat easy to drive?

The DALI Fazon Sat has a sensitivity of 86 dB. That is on the low side, so it needs more amplifier power than average to reach the same volume.

Does the DALI Fazon Sat need a subwoofer?

The DALI Fazon Sat reaches down to 86Hz (full range 86-25k Hz). That leaves the lowest octaves out, so a subwoofer will make a clear difference for films and bass-heavy music.

What drivers does the DALI Fazon Sat use?

The DALI Fazon Sat is a 2-way design using a 1.1" Soft-Dome tweeter and a 4.5" Wood fibre woofer.

Is the DALI Fazon Sat sealed or ported?
