The Micron is a unique speaker system designed to help audio professionals and DJs understand how their music or audio will translate to large-scale sound systems. The design principles closely follow the design principles for large PA speakers which is different to traditional studio monitors. Traditional studio monitors are designed to remain neutral even when pushed, the Micron is intentionally different. It replicates the behaviour of larger systems, including the non-linearities and distortion that occur when those systems are driven beyond their limits.
At moderate levels, the Micron provides clear, high-resolution playback, making it suitable for critical listening. When pushed, it distorts in a way that closely resembles large PA without the high SPL (sound pressure levels) and neighbour complaints. This allows you to learn how your mixes, or productions will behave in the high-demand club environments, without the many challenges of such an environment.
The Micron is a tool for producers, engineers, and DJs to identify potential issues before reaching a venue or performance setting. Whether you’re perfecting a mixdown, preparing for a DJ set, or developing material for playback on large systems, the Micron gives the ability to get insight into dynamics, tonal balance, and headroom at home. Designed for those working in or aiming toward professional contexts, the Micron is not a replacement for studio monitors, it’s a complementary tool for ensuring your work holds up outside the studio.
