Micro Music Monsters…

A brief look into the range of Micro Systems from Hifi Gear

 

Onkyo CS-245DAB micro hi-fi system

Not everyone has the space to accommodate a full Hi-Fi system. That’s why the micro hi-fi system is becoming a common site in many peoples’ homes. Ideal for a study, kitchens, bedrooms and lots more locations around the home, the micro system can deliver great sound and usually an inexpensive price too. At Hifi Gear we are proud to be selling great quality mirco systems from high-end manufacturers at lower-end prices. Most micro systems allow you to play your CD's, iPod, offer DAB and FM/AM radio and sometimes music streaming capability.

Denon D-M38DAB

Obtaining the sound of a full-sized Hi-Fi system is usually a very difficult thing to do with smaller systems. However, technology has become more and more developed over the years and sound systems on a small scale now offer great sound indeed. The Denon DM-38DAB micro system offers great value for money with its CD and DAB capabilities. On top of this, iPod connection is made possible by connecting via the USB connector on the unit’s front facia. The unit can be supplied with or without matching speakers. The unit sounds amazing and can really be mistaken for something much bigger. With all this in mind, we can see why it has won the What Hi-Fi award of a grand 5 stars.

Marantz M-CR603 micro hifi with music streaming and internet radio

An alternative to this is the fantastic Marantz M-CR603. Again, CD and radio capabilities feature with the M-CR603. It even features music streaming for great functionality and playback quality.

Even with micro systems sounding so great, we still feel that connecting speakers via upgraded speaker cable will help to enhance quality. QED Silver Micro is a very suitable upgrade which allows much better transmission of audio signals in comparison to cheaper cables. Doing this will help to boost sound quality and preserve the audio signals inside the cable even more so.

Alternatives to micro systems even feature very stylish iPod docking stations with built-in speakers. These are truly fantastic for both sound and even charging iPods whilst listening to them. We offer both the new Monitor Audio i-deck 100 and i-deck 200 range of iPod dock speaker systems and the ever-loved B&W Zeppelin Air iPod docks, now with Airplay. On top of this, we offer both the B&W Mini Zeppelin and full size Zeppelin (not Airplay) as ex-demo units at a reduced priced, complete with a 2 year warranty.

B&W Zeppelin Air

A micro system is ideal for those who are starting out in Hi-Fi at a young age and also for those who are studying at university and still require a decent music system. With many ranges and models available, we can happily help by showing you a demonstration in store of varying mini systems. On top of this, we can help with advice on what you might want and even recommend ideal pieces of kit from our experienced and knowledgeable staff.
