Microlab Solo 19 It pretends to be one of the most accurate sounding stereo sub- 300 dollars, able to correctly play the music of any genre, played on any instrument. We'll see, far from Microlab acoustics turned out to make a universal medium price range.
Three-band speakers Microlab Solo 19 headed by the popular series of Solo Microlab Electronics, one of the oldest manufacturers of multimedia speakers. The new flagship was presented to the public, along with two other models - Microlab Solo 11 и Microlab Solo 16, about which we wrote earlier. In contrast,, Column older models equipped with three, instead of two speakers - the most powerful stereo speaker manufacturer, focused on large areas and claims to be the best sounding. We had a chance to get acquainted with new products and learn about all its advantages and disadvantages.
set stands
A huge cardboard box, where the novelty comes, does not have handles for carrying, causing it to move even short distances is difficult. This can only be the two of us. From external influences the contents of the box traditionally protects internal foam insert, and further columns themselves packed in bags of a nonwoven material, serve later for cleaning the speakers from dust and polishing to a high gloss painted surfaces of their housings.
Set settings Microlab Solo 19 is no different from that of the younger models. Together with the columns in the box were found:
- remote control with CR2025 battery;
- interblock quality screened audio cable for connecting the active and passive speakers;
- Audio cable 2 × RCA-jack 3,5 mm;
- Audio cable 2 × RCA-2×RCA;
- an optical S / PDIF-cable;
- Coaxial cable sheathed in a soft synthetic;
- set of rubber feet for sticking to the lower surface of the bodies;
- printed manual.
The bundled have a suitable cable for any speaker connections method. All cables are standard and can be replaced if desired a qualitative. Interconnect cable there is no need to replace - it has a shielding braid, and outside closed synthetic mesh. The length of this cable is 4 m, which is enough for almost any installation speakers.

For comparison, the characteristics of the above table shows the data entry-, Microlab Solo 16. It is seen, that the new product differs from it a set of radiators: tweeter speakers Microlab Solo 19 very similar to those, that have been used in low-end models, but with a diameter of one and a half times more - 1,5 inch. The tweeter is a dome type, made of silk. Its resistance is 4 ohm. note, that the tweeter is magnetically shielded housing.
Midrange and woofer are similar in design. Both of them are made of a polymeric material, They have a rubber surround and equipped with large magnets. Screening for them is not provided. Radiators differ in size and resistance: 4,0 inch, respectively, 8 Ohm woofer and 6,5 inches 4 Ohm subwoofer.
Columns have two isolated acoustic chambers. In the upper midrange and high frequency are arranged radiators, and crossovers - filters, intended for passing only certain frequencies. Looking at all, crossovers in this case required for the preparation of midrange frequency band.
In the lower chambers of acoustic emitters positioned LF. The lower chamber equipped with bass reflex, whose output socket outward at the rear of each speaker.
The system board is fixed to a metal chassis with external active speaker interfaces, which is attached to the power supply, and more. As well, As with other models of the latest generation of Solo Acoustic, digital path novelties built on a class D amplifiers TAS5342L from Texas Instruments US company.
A set of interfaces to connect fully to, what we saw on Microlab Solo 11 и Microlab Solo 16. Wired connection to the columns is possible by connecting to the RCA inputs or digital interfaces: coaxial and optical S / PDIF. Wireless connectivity is Bluetooth-module AIROHA AB1520. This Bluetooth module 4.2 Taiwanese manufacturer of microelectronics Airoha Technology. The module features work with A2DP profiles, HFP, HSP, as well as with EDR features.
Despite the presence of speakers Microlab Solo 19 three speakers, one of which is designed to reproduce low frequencies, manufacturer has taken care of, to this speaker system can be connected subwoofer, turning it into a standard system 2.1. For this purpose, the active speaker audio output panel has LFE, to which can be connected with a corresponding specification subwoofer. But for charging connected to the columns via Bluetooth smartphone in active speaker has a USB port (to 1 BUT). Here only is he as uncomfortable, as in the low-end models, - rear, and not on the front panel.
