In AktiMate's Micro B speakers, the company has introduced wireless connectivity into its award-winning Micro speakers. Each satellite in this 2.0 system features a 4-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter. The speakers are driven by a 40-watt Class D amplifier. On the front of the active speaker are two knobs, one for volume and one to switch among Bluetooth, 3.5 mm jack and USB. The system features a built-in DAC. The Micro B comes in three high-gloss finishes: red, white and black.
