You don’t have to settle for distorted sound when listening to digital music on your desktop or laptop computer. Reputable audio companies, such as Bose® and Bowers & Wilkins, take audio quality very seriously… Even in the tiniest of speakers!
In fact, B&W’s MM-1s are actually miniature hi-fi speakers, designed to fit on your desktop. Like a full-sized speaker, the MM-1 has one driver for bass and mid-range frequencies, plus another for treble. The tube-loaded design originally developed for B&W’s Nautilus speakers, is used in the MM-1’s tweeters, delivering purer sounds at high frequencies.
The MM-1 uses a USB connection to stream audio directly from your computer and convert the signal from digital to analog internally, using a high quality DAC, rather than relying on the computer’s analog output signal.
The high quality DACs used in B&W’s MM-1s also means that the quality of sound you will hear when listening with headphones is greatly increased over that of standard computer speakers.
The MusicMonitor™ is the premium two-piece computer speaker system from Bose®. It is also the smallest of their computer speakers. The MusicMonitor™ was designed to deliver the sound quality of larger speakers or three-piece systems with a bass module, in a two-piece system.
The surprising sound quality of the MusicMonitor™ system is attributed to Bose® amplifier technology, acoustic design, highly efficient neodymium speakers and Bose® digital signal processing. That means exceptional performance from two compact speakers that take up very little desk space.
The B&W MM-1 and the Bose® MusicMonitor™ both offer extraordinary audio quality in a computer speaker, with attractive designs that look good beside any computer, and also leave you with lots of space for your work materials.
