Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Driver Technology

Two-Way Design: The Muso is a two-way satellite loudspeaker that uses high-quality material throughout. This satellite loudspeaker has been designed to produce an accurate, powerful, and musical sound in a compact, bass-reflex cabinet. The Muso two-way loudspeaker offers a midbass performance far beyond that of a typical "satellite" speaker.

Note: The Muso is a satellite loudspeaker designed to produce midbass, midrange, & high frequencies. For low bass frequencies, pair this speaker with a powered subwoofer (sold separately).

1" Aluminum Tweeter: The Muso satellite loudspeaker features a 1"aluminum dome tweeter for exceptional clarity, transparency, and dispersion. The 1" aluminum dome tweeter features a light-weight neodymium magnet for higher efficiency & greater power handling.

3.5" Polymer/Aluminum Woofer: The Muso features a 3.5" polymer/aluminum cone woofer with rubber surround for dynamic midbass response. The woofer magnet's vented pole piece offers higher power handling capabilities with lower distortion.

Crossover Network: The Muso satellite loudspeaker employs a 6 component crossover (2.5kHz, 12dB/oct) with air-cored HF inductor on glass fiber PCB.

Enclosure Design

Bass Reflex Cabinet: The Muso satellite loudspeaker employs a bass-reflex (ported) cabinet. Its front ported design allows positioning close to walls or in cabinets. The smooth flow, flared "L-shape" port offers extended bass response.

Low-Resonance Cabinet: The Muso satellite loudspeaker's enclosure is made from a combination of aluminum & steel components bonded together with the latest adhesive technology for the lowest possible resonance. The "SDA" (sound dead aluminum) further dampens cabinet resonance. The resin damped metal-to-metal bonding has no visible fixings.

Magnetic Grille: The satellite loudspeaker comes with a detachable magnetic metal grille. The grille is acoustically transparent.

Connections

Gold-Plated Binding Posts: The gold-plated 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 12-gauge), pin connectors, spade connectors, and banana plugs (single/dual).

Color-Coded: The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.

Mounting Options

Application: The Arcam Muso satellite loudspeaker can be used in a stereo (music) or home theater (movie) application.

Placement: The Arcam Muso satellite loudspeaker is designed for placing on a stand, shelf, or wall bracket. For optimum results the speaker should be placed 4"-12" from a rear wall, at least 2' from any side wall, and 6.5' apart. The Muso satellite loudspeaker should be mounted so the tweeter is at, or just below ear height when the listener is seated.

Note: The Muso speaker should never be placed on the floor or in corners.

Rubber Isolation Mat: The included rubber isolation mat fits inside the recessed area of the speaker base and provides a stable, non-slip surface that helps to acoustically decouple the speaker from its support.

Wall-Mounting: The Arcam Muso has dual threaded inserts (4mm) on the rear of the cabinet for wall mounting the speaker, using an optional wall-mount bracket (sold separately).

Magnetically Shielded: The Arcam Muso satellite loudspeaker is magnetically shielded for safe placement beside TVs, video displays, and computer monitors.
