The Micron is a marvelously engineered speaker, meticulously designed by Dynaudio's legendary engineering team to deliver true high-end sound in a wall- or shelf-mountable package. Unlike other small high-quality speakers which produce a bloated and boomy bass when placed close to a wall, the Micron features a specially controlled bass loading system. This system guarantees a precise and well-integrated reproduction of low frequencies, allowing even the most uncompromising sound aficionados to experience “the truth, and nothing but the truth” in small and very small rooms.

The beauty of the Micron is both apparent and subtle. Its classic, timeless Dynaudio design is visible at first glance, with the enclosure hand-made and clad in the finest real wood veneers. Hugo Nielssen, our master craftsman, is responsible for this impeccable craftsmanship. Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Sven-Erik Nielsen ensures the superior finish and material quality, a hallmark of Dynaudio's products. His expertise guarantees the Micron's enduring aesthetic and functional excellence.

Dynaudio's signature high-performance components are crucial to the Micron's exceptional sound. The bass driver features an impressively dimensioned motor with a 3" voice coil for a 6" driver, offering perfect control even under adverse conditions. This design choice is noteworthy as drivers twice this size typically use a voice coil only half as large. The tweeter, adapted from Dynaudio's acclaimed Esotar and Esotec series, is capable of reproducing any audio program with the highest quality, driven by the best electronics.

The enclosure of the Micron is another testament to Dynaudio's dedication to quality. Efforts were made to ensure the cabinet is free from resonance and inertia, preventing the enclosure from distorting the music. This resulted in minimal resonance, with the Micron’s small surfaces keeping amplitudes much lower than larger speakers. An innovative mounting method—using a single screw and two spikes—safely mounts the speaker to the wall while acoustically decoupling it, adding the finishing touch to its design.

Dynaudio's commitment to quality means that the Micron is produced in limited quantities. Each unit undergoes 85 quality controls during manufacture, followed by another two hours of rigorous testing by both computers and human ears. This ensures only the finest speakers reach customers, making the Micron a rare gem not found in just anyone’s home.

The Micron does come with a higher price tag, but this reflects its uncompromised quality. Designed without a specific price point in mind, the focus was on delivering superior sound—a "wolf in sheep’s clothing," as it were. Although physically small, its sound quality surpasses that of many larger speakers, making it an exceptional investment for true audiophiles.

The Micron is perfect for those who desire the best sound quality but lack the space for larger speakers. It's ideal for high-quality stereo systems, providing impeccable sound even in workrooms, kitchens, or holiday homes. The Micron’s advanced, compact design ensures it fills any room with music in the most unobtrusive way possible.

Whether for your high-end stereo system or just a smaller space where you refuse to compromise on sound quality, the Micron offers an unparalleled listening experience.
