Know before you buy
Yes, this is a passive loudspeaker, meaning it does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or power amplifier to drive the audio.
While the 3-inch driver provides excellent clarity and imaging, its frequency response starts at 120Hz. For a full-range sound experience, we strongly recommend pairing these with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the lower bass frequencies.
The Droplet Micro is designed as a pendant speaker and comes supplied with a dedicated ceiling rose kit. It is intended to hang from the ceiling, making it an ideal choice for rooms with high or open-plan architecture.
No, the Droplet Micro is not waterproof or moisture-resistant. It should be installed in dry, indoor environments only.
The 4-inch all-metal spherical shape is engineered to eliminate internal standing waves and resonance. This design allows the speaker to produce a remarkably large sound stage and precise imaging that belies its compact size.
No, these are traditional high-fidelity speakers and do not feature built-in smart functionality, voice control, or wireless connectivity. They rely on a wired connection to your audio source.
