Designed for small to medium rooms, these speakers require an external amplifier and deliver clear, balanced sound with warm bass down to 90Hz. Their slim, wall-mountable design makes them ideal for versatile placement in home theaters, offices, or as surround speakers. Perfect for millennials seeking a stylish, affordable upgrade to their audio setup with customizable amplification options. ## Description IMPORTANT NOTE - The COVO-S is a passive bookshelf speaker and requires an amplifier or home theater receiver. It cannot be connected directly to a turntable, smartphone, or computer. The COVO-S compact speaker system delivers great sound in a small package. Drawing from the same classic yet distinct design as Micca’s popular MB series speakers, the COVO-S looks great and is easy to place in a wide variety of room decor. Its exceptionally rich sound belies its diminutive size and makes it a great selection for use in small to medium-sized listening areas such as an office. Superior Sound Through Superior Engineering Built using a patented concentric driver design, the COVO-S’s audio performance results from a balanced application of sophisticated drivers, enclosure tuning, and crossover construction. The speaker driver used is a 3-inch wool paper cone woofer with an inset mounted 0.75β€³ PEI dome tweeter. By sharing a common acoustical center point, the concentric woofer and tweeter design maintain coherency through the crossover transition region. The unique curve of the woofer cone serves as a horn waveguide for the tweeter, resulting in improved off-axis dispersion characteristics. The COVO-S employs a ported enclosure design, generating modest bass output for a warm sound signature. A 6dB/octave crossover makes for a smooth transition between the woofer and the tweeter. Rounding out the package are full-size 5-way speaker wire binding posts and removable grills. Compact and Affordable Listen for yourself. Discover how good a pair of affordable compact speakers can be by trying them in your home. Due to the COVO-S’s small size, they work best when used in a small to medium-sized listening area. Place them along a wall or near a corner of the room for better bass output. Review: Wow! Micca Does It Again!! - What a pleasant surprise these speakers were. Let me be clear...these are tiny speakers, not the best choice for mains or in a big room; they aren't capable of producing extreme volumes or heavy bass. Don't expect them to sound like big speakers, they aren't meant to. They have small 3" concentric (meaning, the tweeter is in the center of the woofer) drivers, in tiny little cabinets. The cabinets measure roughly 4" X 5", to give you an idea. But they sound much, much larger, and produce a very pleasant and balanced tone. The highs are clear, the midrange clean and clear, and they actually have a little bass!! I am listening to music over them without a sub, and it's actually quite pleasant. Add a small sub, cross it around 100-120 hz, and you have a seriously rocking mini-system. Applications: Office or desk speakers, bedroom, and for anyone who is not interested in all-out home theater, but wants a dramatic improvement over their TV speakers (be advised that an amp will be required to drive them), or even as surround speakers so long as it's not too big of a room. These are compact and attractive, and they sound far better than any other "cube" speakers I've heard. I have read that many here have bought the Pyle cube speakers, and weren't happy with them because of their tinny sound and utter lack of bass. These are in a whole different category! These are rear ported, so remember to keep them several inches off the wall for best bass response. By far the best speaker in this category that I've heard. This company continues to produce excellent speakers at budget prices. 5 stars for this cube / mini speaker category. Good listening! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --Update-- I had a little time to play today, so for grins and giggles, I connected these through a small, 6" sub I have. This really fills in the bottom end, and together, they sound like a much larger system. I have it crossed at about 100 hz, and it blends seamlessly. I thought it would sound better at a higher crossover, but it gets a little muddy when set any higher. These speakers seem to be quite strong down to the 90 hz rating, maybe even a bit lower. I also noticed that with the high-pass filter of the sub inline; the speakers can play much louder without distortion. No doubt due to limiting the woofer excursion. I'm playing these in my basement workshop at the moment, and getting some surprising volume out of them. This would be a fine office or bedroom setup where space it at a premium. Even for a 2:1 TV setup instead of using a crappy sound bar. The Dayton 8" sub would be a great match for these; together they would give you a dandy sounding small system for around $110. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --Update 2-7-15-- I had some time to play again today, and I was curious how these would do on the dandy Lepai 2020 amp. They actually play very well on it. It drives them about as hard as they want, with plenty of mid-bass response from them. Music was full and warm with enough bass to make it pleasant to listen too. Of course, you'll need a sub if you want rumble; but these sound nice by themselves so long as you aren't a bass monger. I was pretty surprised at how much volume the Lepai could get from these. These speakers and the Lepai amp would be the ultimate cheap office setup. Much better than most computer speakers. And as already mentioned; you can add a small sub if you want more boom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, 2.5 years later and I bought another pair of these. We've gotten into the Alexa thing, and purchased a couple of Echo Dots to use in the house. Wifey wanted a stand-alone audio system in the family room where she could play music from the Dot but have something else on the TV screen at the same time (can't really do that when switching everything through a home theater receiver), but she didn't want yet another pair of big speakers in the room (I don't understand her issue; I only have two tower speakers, a large center channel speaker, 2 12" subs and 4 ceiling speakers in there :) ). So I used a pair of these that are small enough to be unobtrusive, and hid a low-profile sub behind the TV cabinet. System is crossed at 100 hz, just above the 90hz lower rating of the speakers. . It sounds great! The COVO's produce the highs and mids cleanly and the sub pics up the bottom end. And wifey likes it. Happy wife = Happy life. Again...these will never match the sound of larger speakers; you can't change the laws of physics. But add a sub and set the system up properly, and they will come very close to mimicking the sound of larger speakers. These are by far the best speakers of this size that I've found. Just for fun...I recently picked up a Bose base module and the five "Jewel Cube" (the ones with a top and bottom speaker that swivel) speakers that come with it at a thrift store. These COVO's beat the Bose Jewel Cube speakers so badly, there's no real comparison. They have better highs and lows, and a much warmer sound. And they cost far less if buying new. Good Listening! Review: Impressive little speaker at a fantastic price - So last week I ordered the new COVO-S speakers because I was curious about this new product from Micca. I wanted to see if these would follow the MB42x's example (especially for the $39.95 price tag) of a great value speaker. Well today they arrived and I have to say so far they are nice tiny speakers. Noticed I didn't say tinny...they actually pretty decent. I only have a few hours on them but so far they do very well for acoustic, jazz, new age and vocals. Let's be honest the low bass is pretty much non existent with a 3" driver but these do try the best they can. The port in the rear helps out some but still can't overcome the size of the driver and enclosure. I mean look at these things... they are a little rectangular box. Speaking of small size lets talk about the size as they are very small. They are very small because they have a "Concentric Driver" arrangement. This means the woofer and tweeter are all together. I guess that's Micca speak for coaxial. These speakers could be tucked in almost anywhere (but you want to give them some space on the backside for the port) you can imagine. Micca lists the size as such Dimensions: 5.1” (H) x 4.2” (W) x 5.1” (D) and I have no reason to doubt them. Just look at that folks I mean that's small. The MB42x speakers next to these look like giants! They also look like the little brother to the X's as they have the same vinyl wrap job and very similar looking grill. The grills are however, non magnetic but that's no big deal as they come off pretty easily and are held in place pretty well. No complaints about the construction especially for a $40 pair of speakers. One of the drawbacks I have noticed is that they are pretty height sensitive. If you want to get the best sound in the nearfield you need to have them at ear level. The MB's aren't nearly as sensitive to height/direction as these COVO's are. One other note so far is the tweeters. They are not the MB series tweeter...not even close. I had to put the high gain up on my receiver to compensate for lack of highs on these little guys. The highs are more subdued. Now this might change a bit as everything gets broken in but for right now they are not in your face like the MB's are. That doesn't mean they are bad just laid back. Overall I'm still breaking them in but for their size they don't sound bad. I really do think these will have to be paired with a sub to get a really good sound. The X's do not have to be with a sub but sound better if you do. I'm hoping after some more break in the highs will come up and the lows will come down a bit. Only time will tell but for $40 I thought it was worth the gamble. I'm hoping these will be the new go to 2.1 solution because of the cost. If nothing else they will do fine as rears in my HT setup. Update 1/6/2015 I played with them all night last night and came up with some new thoughts. * These sound better if you can get them a little further away. Put them at the back of your desk. Leave some room so the port can do it's job though. The lack of highs I noted seemed to go away as I put them further from me. * Bass seems to be coming into it's own as they break in. Classical, acoustic, jazz, soundtracks pretty much anything non bass heavy sound pretty amazing on these guys. * Vocals on the COVO's are very clear and If you wanted they could be used to make a very compact 5.1 system. Just get 3 pairs of these (about $120) with a sub ($100ish) and you're in good shape. * I took them apart and they do have a simple two element xover in them like the description says. They also had some poly stuffing and foam wrapped leads going to the speakers. Overall good construction for a $40 pair of speakers. Update 1/7/2015 * I really like the way these sound for acoustic and vocals . They really shine in those areas. However, they keep getting better and better. * I hooked up the sub to these guys last night just to see how it would sound and I'm impressed. I would have to say these with a Dayton Sub 800 make one heck of a budget combo. For about the price of a pair of BS-22's you can have a killer little 2.1 going on. Update 3/30/2015 * The COVO make great budget surround speakers but the tweeter and bass never really came in like I thought they were going to. These sound almost like full range speakers from a HTiB. * I don't think I would use these in any other fashion other than surround speakers. The MB42X's just blow these away in every aspect. I know they are twice as much but it really does pay off in spades. * I'm going to drop my rating to 4 stars as these aren't as versatile as I was hoping they were going to be. If you need something small and cube like for the rears and don't have a lot of money these are you guys. If you have any more space you'd do better with some BIC DV32's, or even regular Micca MB42's. ## Features - IMPORTANT NOTE - The COVO-S is a passive bookshelf speaker that requires an amplifier or home theater receiver to work.

Front and rears?** A: Yes it will work fine. I use them for rears. However i would recommend you to consider the big brother of these the Micca MB-42Xs and its matching center for the front. if you cant afford it my suggestion is that you start with a pair of MB-42Xs in stereo config and build up to 5.1 as you have more money **Q: Can these be attached to a 3 ft stand similar to the Bose cube speakers? The pics here don’t show how attachment is possible.** A: The Micca speaker comes with a 1/4" standard thread in the back. That is what you would use to mount these. If you can have a 1/4" threaded bolt or stud attached to your 3 foot stand, they will work. **Q: Can these speakers connect to my Mac air pro lapto?** A: You could use these with anything that has an audio-out port, such as a headphone jack which I assume the Mac Air has. HOWEVER, these speakers are not self-powered, so you MUST have an amplifier of some kind to power them and be the "in-between" your audio source and these speakers. I pair mine with a cheap Lapai LP-2020A+ and they sound fine - not amazing, but good. If space is not a huge consideration for you consider getting the Lapai LP-2020A+ amp ($27) and Micca MB42s as these sound much better ($48, only $8 more than the Covo-s). You'll also need a audio jack to connect from the Laptop to the Lapai amp, and speaker wire from the amp to the speakers. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!

After looking through the reviews i decided to go with these and i am glad i did. Build quality excellent. the speakers box looks well made and feels solid in the hand. the terminals accept banana plugs As main stereo speakers I wanted to test these out before i put them away as surrounds.So i replaced my Pioneer BS-22 fronts with these speakers and did a test with my sony reciever.I must say i was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of these. The sound imaging was great and at times even felt like it was better than the huge pioneers to my untrained average user ears. These uses a concentric/coaxial design so you probably need a good amp to drive it. i will test this with my lepai and update this later. this little guy couldnt go as low as the pioneers in the bass dept but that was expected given the the size is less than an quarter(or 1/8th) of the pioneers As surrounds (my primary use) These work wonderful as surrounds. produces wonderfull presence sounds and it blends into the overall experience . I tested it out with the Saving Private Ryan beach landing scene and it was awesome The only problem i can see with this is lack of mounting options which is a handicap when it comes to use as satelite speakers. I happened to have a tiny stand with a small enough top to fit these speakers and i used some blu tac to fix it . To be fair to micca they didnt advertise it as satelite speakers so i wont reduce any points for that . it would be a cool to have some kind of mounting option with these speakers. if anybody is thinking about buying a Home Theater in a box system/soundbar, please do yourselves a favour and get a decent receiver and buy a Micca MB42x fronts and center with these as surrounds or if you dont have enough money get 3 pairs of these . it will be a much better value and of course you will have better chance of convincing your wife because they are sooo cute :) You can also pair these up with a powered sub to build a nice 2.1 set up . for the price they are a steal Update 7/17/2015 I still use them as my surrounds and they work great. i dont like to have bulky speakers for surrounds and this works good enough for me.I will keep the rating as i am completely satisfied for the price. I tried these with my lepai amp for my desktop setup because of the size factor .(Point it slightly up towards your ear for better sound) .
