Know before you buy
The Droplet Micro is specifically engineered for high-ceiling environments. Its pendant design allows you to bring the sound source closer to the listening area, which helps maintain clarity and a focused sound stage that standard ceiling-mounted speakers often lose.
Because the Micro uses a compact 3-inch driver, it has a frequency response starting at 120Hz. While it provides excellent clarity for vocals and mid-range detail, you will likely want to pair it with a dedicated subwoofer to capture the lower bass frequencies for a complete, full-range audio experience.
Yes, each speaker comes with a ceiling rose kit and a 2-meter cable. This provides everything you need for a clean, professional-looking installation right out of the box.
Absolutely. Their compact, spherical design makes them an excellent choice for home cinema setups, particularly as surround or height channels where you want high-quality audio that doesn't dominate the room's aesthetic.
The use of mild steel is intentional; it creates a rigid, inert enclosure that minimizes unwanted vibrations and resonance. This allows the driver to produce a cleaner, more precise sound compared to plastic housings of a similar size.
