Know before you buy
The Micro SE features a proprietary flat-panel driver that provides an extended frequency range and improved clarity compared to the standard model. It is designed for listeners who want a more refined, high-fidelity performance in the same compact spherical form factor.
Yes, these are passive speakers and do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to an external receiver or power amplifier to drive them.
The spherical shape is critical because it eliminates internal standing waves and minimizes cabinet resonance. This allows the speaker to produce a cleaner, more accurate sound with a very stable 3D soundstage.
Absolutely. Their wide dispersion makes them excellent for surround sound applications, as they maintain a consistent sound quality even if you aren't sitting in the exact center of the room.
While the Micro SE is powerful for its size, it is best suited for smaller to medium-sized rooms or as part of a surround sound system. If you are filling a very large space, you may want to pair them with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the lower frequencies.
The Micro SE features redesigned terminals that accommodate heavier-gauge speaker cables. This ensures a secure connection and optimal signal transfer for your audio setup.
