## Overview

The Micca COVO-S is a pair of passive 2-way bookshelf speakers featuring a 3-inch wool fiber woofer and a 0.75-inch concentric tweeter, designed for small to medium rooms. Requiring an external amplifier, these compact speakers deliver warm, balanced sound with surprising bass depth thanks to their rear-ported enclosure. Wall-mountable and stylishly minimal, they offer professional-grade connectivity and are ideal for office setups, secondary home theaters, or anyone seeking high-quality audio in a space-conscious package.

## 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 0.75″ 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: About as good as you can do at this price. - The Micca Covo S's are an interesting speakers. They have some very good points along with some bad ones, and some that are just so so. I will highlight each of these below. Just as a provisor, I've only had these speakers for about two days now and I've only listened to them for about three hours. I've also played pink noise through them for about four hours so they've had approximately a seven hour break-in period so far. The Good 1. NIce design - they are small cube-like speakers that have an attractive, understated appearance. They won't be winning any design awards, but they won't look absurd with most decor either. 2. Five-way binding posts are a welcome and rare feature for speakers this price. They make attaching wires or using banana plugs a snap. My standard double-screw banana plugs fit into them just fine. 3. They really hit low for speakers this size. I was able to get them to hit as low as 60hz, but sound was definitely distorted at this frequency. They sound best with ones 120hz and higher. Still, for a speaker this size, their bass is quite remarkable. I think this is do to the fact that they are rear ported giving their woofer good excursion. The So So 1. I would put their overall sound quality in the 'so so' bracket. It is still some of the best for speakers in this price and size range. I've definitely heard worse for more money. However, If you go up by $20 to the Dayton B652AIRs you'd notice an obvious upgrade in sound. I have both the B652AIRs and the Covo S's, and I definitely prefer the B652AIRs. Having said this, the Covos are not bad if you only have $40 to spend on a set of speakers. 2. Where these speakers really struggle is in the mid-range frequencies. Voices are muffled and a little distorted. Listening to fiddles, guitars and bag pipes on tracks from Skeryvore is a joy, but once the vocals kick in you can instantly hear the shortcomings of these speakers. Again, I've heard worse, but for just $20 more you can get quite a lot better. 3. The grills are not magnetic! This is not a necessity, but is a very nice feature found on the Micca MB42 and 42Xs. Since it's not a deal breaker I put it in the 'so so' section. The Bad 1. My main complaint with these speakers is that they can't get very loud without noticeable, and even painful, distortion. I would not recommend them for a room larger than 12'x12'. My pair is connected to a SMSL SA50 amp - which is rated at 50WPC - and they struggle to fill my 20'x15' living room. You an hear them throughout the room, but sound becomes thing the father away you are. 2. As a bit of an ancillary, but still note-worthy, complaint; You have to bee at least a foot away from these speakers for optimal sound quality. Any closer than that and you lose treble and bass is a little embellished. As I write this review they are about 8" from my face and they don't sound as good as when I back up a foot or so. This is definitely something to keep in mind for your application. So...should you purchase the Micca Covo S speakers? Well, I would say that depends on two factors. 1. What is your budget? If it is just $40 then I'd say "yes." If you can spend just a little more look elsewhere. 2. What is your application? If you plan to use them in a small space where you don't have a lot of extra room and your room isn't too large they will work great. If you have the space and budget I'd definitely recommend upgrading to something like the Dayton B652AIRs or Micca MB42Xs. I've auditioned the MB42Xs and at twice the price of the Covos they are well worth it. They would be my main recommendation for budget hi-fi audio if you have a money and space. They need at least 8" of open space behind them for their rear port to function properly. This is something to keep in mind when choosing speakers for you space. My plan for the Covos is to use them in my bathroom connected to a Lepai LP-2020A+ amp and an Airplay receiver. The total cost for this system will be just under $90. I wouldn't want to spend too much more than this on a system that will be in such a humid environment. They Covos are a great choice for this application because they are fairly inexpensive, compact and sound good despite their price and size. THe reason I have given the Covo S speakers four stars is because of their lack-luster mids and inability to play that loud. Stay tuned for further updates on their long-term use. ONE MONTH UPDATE I just set these speakers up in my bathroom. I paired them with a Lepai 2020A+ amp and a cheap Airplay receiver. For this application they work great! I did not want to spend a lot of money on a system for my bathroom, but I still wanted decent sound. These speakers fit the bill perfectly! I am very happy with this system overall. The total cost was $78 plus the speaker wire that I had laying around. Much better than any iHome system you could get and about the same price. FIVE WEEK UPDATE Even thought It has not been a lot longer I still wanted to share a couple more flaws I've observed as of late. The first observation I've made is that the Covo S's do best with more acoustically based music. Genres such as jazz and big band really shine on these little cubes offering a nice soundstage with plenty of stereo separation. However, where they really seem to struggle is with rock music that is driven by electric guitars. The guitar tones come off a little muted and even distorted at times. I believe this is due to the size of the these speakers. Most smaller bookshelf speakers - and even some larger ones - struggle to properly reproduce the sound of rock music. I've also notice that the bass on these speakers sounds a bit strange. I believe that this is due to the fact that these speakers reproduce bass acoustically - meaning, they use rear porting and sound echoing rather than relying on large woofers with high excursion. This results in a more boomy rather than tight bass. This more evident in genres such as hip-hop, R&B and dance that have a punch bass track to them. Despite these newly observed flaws I'm still giving the Micca Covo S's a four star rating. I still believe that they are an excellent value. They really do work well in my bathroom setup filling the room with warm, pleasing sound. Stay tuned for further updates.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the price per speaker or for the pair?**
A: it is a pair. 2lbs per speaker. this is important in choosing your mounts

**Q: Will these work OK for a 5.1 surround satellite speakers? 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&rsquo;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.

I've also notice that the bass on these speakers sounds a bit strange. I believe that this is due to the fact that these speakers reproduce bass acoustically - meaning, they use rear porting and sound echoing rather than relying on large woofers with high excursion. This results in a more boomy rather than tight bass. This more evident in genres such as hip-hop, R&B and dance that have a punch bass track to them. Despite these newly observed flaws I'm still giving the Micca Covo S's a four star rating. I still believe that they are an excellent value. They really do work well in my bathroom setup filling the room with warm, pleasing sound. Stay tuned for further updates.
