Know before you buy
The spherical shape is designed to eliminate internal resonance and external diffraction. By removing flat internal surfaces, the speaker minimizes distortion, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sound.
No, the Gallo Acoustics Micro Loudspeaker does not include mounting hardware. You will need to purchase the specific wall mounts, floor stands, or ceiling mounts separately depending on your installation needs.
With a frequency response starting at 100 Hz, these speakers are optimized for mid-to-high range clarity rather than deep sub-bass. For a full-range home theater experience, we recommend pairing them with a dedicated subwoofer.
These speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and can handle up to 100 Watts of power. Most standard home theater receivers or integrated amplifiers will work well with them.
Yes, by using a single 3-inch full-range driver without a crossover, the speaker avoids the phase shifts and signal degradation often introduced by crossover components. This results in a more cohesive and natural sound signature.
The Gallo Acoustics Micro is designed for indoor use. While the enclosure is made of durable stainless steel, it is not rated for weather resistance or outdoor environmental conditions.
