## Overview

The Micca RB42-C is a premium center channel speaker featuring dual 4-inch woofers and a 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter, designed to deliver clear, authoritative dialogue and rich midbass. Its 10-element crossover with high-quality components ensures tonal accuracy and reduced distortion. Finished in dark walnut with a modern aesthetic, it doubles as a vertical bookshelf speaker when paired. Ideal for small to medium rooms, it offers 86dB sensitivity for efficient power use, making it a standout choice for affordable, high-performance home theater sound.

## Description

The Micca RB42-C is a handsomely styled center channel speaker that delivers a level of performance that belies its affordable price. With robust bass and midrange output and a silky smooth sound signature, it renders movie dialogue and music with clarity and authority. Dressed up in dark wood pattern and clean modern lines, this is a speaker you won’t feel the urge to hide. Its symmetrical design also means that the RB42-C can be used vertically as bookshelf speakers when purchased in a pair. Bring the theater experience home and enjoy all your movies from the best seat in the house! Note that the RB42-C is a passive speaker and requires an amplifier or receiver to produce sound. It cannot be connected directly to a TV, turntable, or computer. Each of the two 4-inch woofers is built on a truncated heavy steel frame and substantial magnet structure. Its long-throw design incorporates a coated pressed paper cone with a concave dust cap, large radius rubber surround, and vented pole piece. The tweeter is based on Micca’s popular 0.75-inch silk dome design, using a high-efficiency neodymium magnet and small bezel for tight driver spacing. Distortion and coloration are effectively reduced through the use of ¾-inch thick MDF panels on all sides of the enclosure, with 100% miter joints for greater bonding contact area. The enclosure is stuffed to specific density with polyfill to eliminate resonance and enhanced enclosure tuning. Translucent mesh fabric over beveled thin frame makes up the acoustically transparent grill cover. The RB42-C owes its tonal balance and transparency to a 10-element crossover that uses high-grade film capacitors and air-core coils for key components. Both the tweeter and woofer circuits have an 18dB/octave slope to enhance power handling, dramatically reduced lobing, and superior off-axis performance. An audiophile-grade 5-way binding post rounds out the package.

Review: Für das Geld wirklich gut! Für nen 5.1 in einer Mietwohnung mehr als Ausreichend!👌
Review: Objectively, these are absolutely amazing speakers for the price. First off: as these are budget speakers, It seems fitting to write this review based on my experience with them in a budget system. I ordered two of these center channel speakers and am using them in a stereo setup. I am using my computer's DAC and feeding it to an SMSL SA-50 stereo amplifier to power these speakers. These are far more efficient than the RB42's. The RB42's are rated at 83dB; these speakers, the RB42-C's, are 86dB. For reference, the RB42's would need twice as much power to play at the same volume as these. That makes far easier to run, and far less anemic at the low end with amplifiers below the 75-or-so watt output per channel. Instrumentals are more transparent than most speakers in this price range and lower bass is very punchy, with no muddiness in the subbass range. Instrumentals just sound cleannn at any volume. Vocals are also open and unmuddied; I'd say veering on transparent. At least, more transparent than any speaker in this price range that you don't have to build yourself. Vocals are, however, a tiny bit more recessed than instrumentals. That's not a bad thing, and Micca even describes these speakers as having that characteristic; they're warm speakers, so of course they're going to sound like that. That being said, my bias leads to me preferring more sibilant speakers. I really like accentuation on the S's and T's of singers' voices, and i prefer forward sounding speakers because they're really good at just tearing recordings apart and showing me how good the recording quality is. If you want piercing vocals, these may not be for you. Now, these are definitely speakers for small to medium sized rooms. My bedroom is about 14x14ft, which i consider to be smaller side of medium sized rooms. Around 20x20ft is where you really start getting to large sized rooms, which these speakers might have a hard time filling. Before you continue reading: note that the below info only applies to you if you want to put these in a larger room than like 18 or 20 square feet. In my room - which is smaller than that - this isn't an issue and these sound great. If you are looking for speakers for a room the size of mine at this price point, then just buy these speakers because holy crap they're good. These speakers are not good for large rooms because they have the MOST egregious port chuff at loud volumes I've ever heard in my life. Let's set the stage. I got one of my two speakers a few hours before the other one. I immediately set up this single speaker in my living room and played it without a subwoofer. Pushing about 20-30 watts into it, I genuinely thought it was broken. At first, I thought one of the two woofers was already getting coil rub. The second speaker arrived and it made the same noise! Statistics say the likeliness of two DOA speakers is unlikely, so I investigated further. Turns out, the ports on these speakers are just extremely loud at living-room-volumes and boy do they RUIN music and movies with any signal below the midrange, so you better have a crossover set at 80 hertz or so and have everything below that sent to a sub. Overall: These are frickin' amazing speakers. Especially at this price point. I've heard speakers for $300 and $400 range that just can't compete in the RB42-C's capacity for transparency. Vocals and instrumentals are clean. They're easy to listen to and they make me want to listen to my collection again to hear how beautiful pianos and female vocals are. They're worth $200 for a pair.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: For those who use the rb42s with this, what amp/receiver do you use? planning on a 3.1 set up for now and possibly upgrade to a 5.1 someday. thanks.**
A: I use a Denon x1600h I got on sale. Can get a renewed one on Amazon right now for $330.  Could also search used/sales for 5-7ch's.  Check homeaudio/theater and alike sub-reddits for recommendations/sites for deals, etc.  I don't utilize other channels except the sub out at the moment but I didn't want to box myself in.  Love my Denon and these Micca's sound stunning for the $.

**Q: Is this a better center channel than the mb42x?**
A: Simply put, yes it is. This is Micca’s “Reference” line which took the great parts about the MB series of products and made them even better sounding, and arguably better looking. I’m biased at this point but I don’t think there’s any better value in high fidelity speakers. Get one and enjoy!

**Q: I have 4 sony cs-5 bookshelve speakers for a 5.1 system. would the rb42-c be a good match for center channel ?**
A: El Jay, the Micca RB42-C is a very balanced  sounding speaker that will make a good center channel.  The Sony's you currently are listening to have a sensitivity rating of 87db and the Micca's are rated at 86db.  That is close enough.  I do not know the sound characteristics of the Sonys so I can't tell how they would blend in a system.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Do you need special cables to hook these up?**
A: You speaker wires need banana plugs on the end that hooks to the speaker. If your wires need these plugs, they are very inexpensive and you can get the kind that don't need tools or solder to connect.

*by T***E on 31 March 2024*

Was looking for something to replace floor speakers wasn't sure about these even tho the reviews were great. Bought 1 now i have to buy a matching one. Not an audiophile but I have had alot of cheap speakers over the years these are 1000x better. Mids and highs are great and bass even tho it's not the floor rattling kind (Duel 4" not going to do that) sounds as good as the floor speakers with 10" sub built in. Blown away truly.
