Nucleus Micro Ti
the maxed-out micro
|
Micro Ti is an all-new ‘Super’ Micro – which takes the great looks and flexibility of the original, and pairs them with an innovative high-end Titanium driver of tremendous quality. Developed by Anthony to mimic the dynamics and transparency of the award-winning Reference 3, the Titanium driver is a state-of-the-art piece of engineering that represents a breakthrough in compact loudspeaker performance. Naturally lightweight, extraordinarily strong and resilient, Titanium is ideal driver material – which is why it’s found in some of the highest performing audiophile speakers money can buy. This exceptional driver creates a wonderfully pure sound that’s simply the finest available from such a compact speaker. Offering all of the original Micro’s placement options and ease of installation, filling your home with high quality sound has never been so accessible or discreet. The Nucleus Micro Ti is available in a choice of Matt Black, Snow White or Stainless Steel finishes, and features a new acoustically transparent metal grille. |
The key to the performance of the Micro Ti and A’Diva Ti is our all-new, full-range 3” Titanium Driver. The driver itself is made up of three key elements. First of all there’s the Titanium cone which is exceptionally rigid, but has a relatively low mass – a combination that is key to loudspeaker sensitivity. It’s also 75% stronger than the one found in the original Micro and A’Diva, and offers increased treble extension and power handling. The cone itself is dampened with paper, the organic fibres of which smoothen response and provide a natural sound quality. They also physically dampen the driver to ensure that no spurious resonances are present. Finally, the driver features a larger 1-inch voice coil powered by an extremely efficient oversized Neodymium magnet, significantly reducing distortion and increasing dynamic range. This combination of materials gives us the best of all worlds; a highly sensitive, extremely robust and wonderfully pure sounding driver. |

Don’t let the low price and 4” diameter of these high-tech juggling balls fool you. The supermodel thin stands of the Gallos support a micro-dynamo of sound. Audio quality is superb, with the new drivers seeming to add even more clarity, depth and detail. All in all, pace, timing and rhythm have all improved and the total musicality of the Micros Ti’s is top notch. Compact speaker manufacturers beware: Gallo has raised the bar by a considerable degree. The extended high treble was sweet and revealing, especially with effects such as rain and bullet ricochets, which fizzed around with spot-on clarity. Speech too came across as clear and well-defined, even rendering arch mumbler Russell Crowe intelligible for once. For music the Micro Ti also did the business, that sweet high end in particular coming to the fore with busy hi-hats and tambourines sounding more real than might be expected, and female vocals receiving just an extra nuance of space. The Micro Ti is a little wonder both in sight and sound, offering some powerful dynamics, transparency and detail for their diminutive size and reasonable price. Miniature Heroes |
