The Energy RC-Micro 5.1 is an ultra-compact surround sound speaker system that delivers lifelike performance for your favorite games and movies. The system is comprised of a subwoofer, four satellite speakers and one center channel. The sub has a 8" cone and down firing port and has 240W/60W dynamic/continuous amplification power for amazing deep bass, and has line/sub and speaker level inputs. The four satellite speakers and center speaker all have a 2.5" high-excursion aluminum cone woofer and a 0.5" hyperbolic alunium-dome tweeter given them a 150Hz-23kHz frequency response. The only difference between the center and satellite speakers is the overall cabinet size and weight, which is under 6" and 2 lbs for both. Key hole slots and threaded inserts allow you to choose how and where to place your speakers. All speakers in this system have a high-gloss black finish giving them a stylish high-tech look to match their impressive sound.
