Orb speakers are smaller sized speakers housed in round ball shaped casings ( usually round satellite speakers) of about four inches in diameter. They come in multiple finishes such as copper, bronze, polished steel and more. The unique selling proposition of orb speakers manufactured by Orb Audio is that they are very elegant, small in size and can be put up in places where a larger speaker would not fit in (they can even be kept on table tops or screwed to the ceiling). Their small size should however not be misinterpreted as lacking power, as they can produce all the loud sounds that conventional larger speaker systems are capable of producing, provided they are configured correctly with subwoofers and the right amplifier. At the same time, they cost much less than conventional home theater speakers of similar caliber.
Orb speakers are a great way to achieve good audio output without the hassles and expenses of complicated surround sound receivers. They can be bought in sets of one to four or bundled with a small amplifier and subwoofer from the same stable for optimal surround sound output. There are eight models available, starting from the relatively simple 2.1 channel to a complete home theater setup.
The different models and configurations available are Mod 1, Mod 1 Plus, People’s Choice, Mod 2, complete home theater, Quick Pack, Classic One and Classic Two. Many of these speakers are handcrafted in the USA. The models have matching accessories such as BOSS floor stands, BOSS desk stands and wall or ceiling mounts along with utilities like speaker and subwoofer wires and cables. Moreover Mod 1 can be upgraded to Mod 2 and can easily hooked up to your existing Blu-ray or DVD player.
Orb speakers are modular and can be combined with the Super Eight (200 watts) and Uber Ten subwoofers. The Uber Ten subwoofer support a proprietary 300 watt BASH hybrid digital amplifier. And the company claims that these robust compact subwoofers can produce sound output which is at par with that of the larger models. All the orb satellites have high power neodymium magnets, advanced high excursion speaker drivers and gold-plated binding posts. Mod 1 for example has full range three inch drivers that power the speakers and when paired with a center channel speaker and appropriate speaker placement you’re in for quite an acoustic experience worthy of the press releases that the company proclaims the merits of their products in.
These speakers offer a challenge to conventional heavily armored speaker and amplifier systems. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the ultimate output will depend on a host of other factors such as the design of the room and the height of the ceiling as well. The good thing with orb speakers from Orb Audio is that the company has a thirty day trial period which allows the buyer to test the speakers at home and to return them if one is not satisfied with the purchase. This provides shoppers with all the piece of mind possible while scouting for their audio needs and there is testimony available from customers of this convenient ‘no questions asked’ return policy. The Mstation 2.1 Stereo Orb Black and the Mstation Orb II Desktop Stereo Speaker System for iPod in blue are the two of the bestselling portable orb speakers available online. The KEF KHT3005BL (SE) 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System in glossy black is a great [air of orb speakers to own if you have guests over! It really will blow their minds away with its superior sound quality and killer looks.
