Neat acoustics calls it a super micro and indeed it is so small you can palm it.
Neat iota wall mount.
Visually deceptive the iota alpha required some unorthodox imagineering.
The tweeter is a two inch planar magnetic ribbon transducer.
Leaving the rather less affordable kii threes aside the neat iota alpha is the most satisfying near wall or boundary hugging loudspeaker for smaller rooms i have hosted in my own premises.
I can t recommend these alphas highly enough if tiny loudspeakers are what you are on the lookout for to see and hear them is to want them.
Neat acoustics iota alpha there are a couple of fundamental problems with the neat acoustics iota alpha loudspeakers.
This section is configured as a two way closed box loudspeaker.
The iota is a two way bass reflex design with a rear mounted port.
Apart from the wall positioning the designs have wide sound dispersal which so room positioning is.
Alternatively neat suggests the speakers should be used on isolating cones if placed on shelves or table tops and has also fitted the speakers with two point horizontal 60mm spaced m6 mounting points to which a wall bracket could be attached.
The iota can also be mounted on wall brackets if required.
Precisely why this is a problem becomes clear when you move them out of the room and suddenly hear a peculiar whining noise from the upper regions of the other half.
There are also dedicated stands available on request.
The basis of the original iota the main drive unit and the emit type planar magnetic tweeter is housed in the top section of the cabinet in a sealed volume angled upwards.
6mm m6 60mm spaced threaded holes are accessible on the rear panel to fit a range of widely available proprietory wall brackets such as the b tech bt33 model.
It can be placed on shelves sideboards worktops or desktops some form of isolation is recommended.
They are small and they are cute.
An attractive design with a rear mounted bass port so don t place them too close to the wall a soft dome tweeter plus a mid bass unit made from of all things wood.
This tiny loudspeaker is extremely flexible in terms of placement.
