The smaller, the better. High style and immense sound come together in a remarkably compact 5.1 speaker package. The RC-Micro consists of four matching speakers for front and surround sound channels, a center channel for highly accurate dialogue, and a pint-sized, but powerful, subwoofer for amazing bass response.
