Review: Incredible! - Being a big fan of the MB42X speakers, I just couldn't help buying a set of these. I bought two and am using them as left and right mains on a stereo set-up. I received them earlier in the week and have been letting them play several hours a day to break them in. And they have not disappointed me! They are amazingly smooth and well-balanced for such an inexpensive speaker. They sound much like the MB42X's, but with better base. Not lower base, but the twin woofers seem to make the base response more pronounced. For 4" woofers, the bass response is quite impressive. I am running them with a sub, but even with the off the bass is very full and rich. I am testing these in a room where I normally run speakers with 6.5" woofers, and these almost match the bass response of the larger speakers. The tweeters appear to be the same ones as the MB42X's use, which is a good thing. They are bright for silk dome tweeters, but never too bright. Just the right amount of sparkle to make the highs so pleasant. Vocals are very natural on these. Though I'm using them as a stereo set; I have no doubt they will perform well as a center speaker. And the extended bass response will likely allow these to out perform many larger speakers. For home theater; using these for center, left and right with MB42X's in the rear and a sub would totally rock a small to mid sized room. These are knocking on the door of entry level audiophile grade, but for budget prices. I have 3 sets of MB42X's which have all held up nicely to frequent use; so I would expect these to last as well. Incredible speakers for the price, and very good speakers for almost any price. I recommend these with confidence, Good listening! Update- I've been playing these for a month or so now. Like their little brothers, these speakers need a lot of break-in. And I seriously mean A LOT of break in. Honestly, I've never seen speakers this slow to loosen up, which I think is why some are not rating them as high as perhaps they should. Anyone basing their opinion on how they sound right out of the box is not realizing the potential of these speakers. . The "hollow" sound that some complain about in the MB42X's pretty much goes away once they have some time on them. I'm talking about 30-40 + hours of play time here; these speakers are very slow to loosen up. But when they do... The bass these things make defies the laws of physics. Amazing! Not quite audiophile grade, but pretty close. A couple of spots on the response graph is all that is keeping them from being equal to $500 speakers. And frankly, most people won't notice the very slight deficiencies. What really matters is that they sound good, and they do! A crazy bargain at this price! Review: Great center channel to complete a 5.1 setup - I was recently gifted 4 older speakers and a subwoofer to upgrade my home theater setup. The front 2 channels were Bose. Things sounded good, but I felt like I was missing a lot of clarity and dialogue due to the lack of center speaker. I found this one for $90 and installed it to work in tandem and now have a full 5.1 surround setup. The timbre of the Micca blends in nicely with the Bose channels and it has elevated my whole setup. Definitely worth it! Great quality and sound for the price. ## Features - Balanced woven carbon fiber woofer for enhanced transient and impactful bass - High performance silk dome tweeter for smooth treble and accurate imaging - Ported enclosure delivers extended bass response with low distortion - Highly optimized 18dB crossover for incredibly open, balanced, and dynamic sound - Compact classic design is easy to place and disappears into any room or decor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HHFBEK6 | | Additional Features | Bass Boost | | Antenna Location | Music, Home Theater | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,267 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #20 in Bookshelf Speakers | | Brand | Micca | | Built-In Media | Speaker | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Home Theater | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Corded Electric | | Customer Package Type | Frustration-Free Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 961 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Wood | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00741360331426 | | Impedance | 8 ohm | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.1"D x 15"W x 5.3"H | | Item Type Name | Micca MB42X-C Center Channel Speaker With Dual 4-Inch Carbon Fiber Woofer and Silk Dome Tweeter (Black, Each) | | Item Weight | 5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Micca | | Model Name | Media Series | | Model Number | MB42X-C | | Mounting Type | Stand, Shelf | | Number of Audio Channels | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Series Number | 42 | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 100 watts | | Speaker Size | 4 | | Speaker Type | Bookshelf, Center Channel | | Specific Uses For Product | Home Theater, Music | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Diameter | 4 inches | | Tweeter Diameter | 0.75 inches | | UPC | 741360331426 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | | Woofer Diameter | 4 inches | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Surround - **Brand:** Micca - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired - **Frequency Response:** 20 KHz - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 100 watts ## Images ![Micca MB42X-C Advanced 2-Way Passive Center Channel Speaker, Each, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Deae5YWwL.jpg) ![Micca MB42X-C Advanced 2-Way Passive Center Channel Speaker, Each, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oTYmpKp+L.jpg) ![Micca MB42X-C Advanced 2-Way Passive Center Channel Speaker, Each, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dxRPATIgL.jpg) ![Micca MB42X-C Advanced 2-Way Passive Center Channel Speaker, Each, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EljyhOnpL.jpg) ![Micca MB42X-C Advanced 2-Way Passive Center Channel Speaker, Each, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615zVRN7OwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible! *by A***T on August 1, 2014* Being a big fan of the MB42X speakers, I just couldn't help buying a set of these.

The front 2 channels were Bose. Things sounded good, but I felt like I was missing a lot of clarity and dialogue due to the lack of center speaker. I found this one for $90 and installed it to work in tandem and now have a full 5.1 surround setup. The timbre of the Micca blends in nicely with the Bose channels and it has elevated my whole setup. Definitely worth it! Great quality and sound for the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly surprised *by H***D on January 27, 2025* To be brutally honest, I purchased this center channel speaker only because it fit the height requirements and the under $100 budget I had. When the 25+ year old Infinity CC-1 I had in my bedroom system decided to fail, I was stuck with the options of finding another one used or to try to find something new to replace it. The CC-1 was a solid performer, but had its shortcomings, so I decided on something new. The Micca unit I received was one of the gen3 with the 18dB/octave crossover, and quite frankly, I'm rather impressed with the performance it offers for both its size and the money. Don't get me wrong, it will never be confused with the performance of something from SVS, the ELAC Debuts or anything like that, but in the small space it fits in, it does the job quite well. It does require either some automatic or manual DSP to make up for its frequency response, but after that, I was very pleased. The first thing I threw at it after setting the SPL level and tweaking the EQ a bit were several movies that I know are infamous for having dialog that's difficult to hear in many scenes - in particular, several Nolan films. The Micca did not disappoint, and was often equal to and sometimes better than the Infinity CC-1. This center channel also handles handoffs between the Infinity RS-5s that are the front L/R channels seamlessly. In the end, if you have either space or budget constraints, this speaker works pretty well, at least in a smaller room. It handles the AV receiver having the crossover set at 80Hz with no problem, although 100Hz would probably be a better option in a larger room. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because it does require some EQ work in order to make it sound its best. ## Frequently Bought Together - Micca MB42X-C Advanced Center Channel Speaker for Home Theater, Surround Sound, Passive, 2-Way (Black, Each) - Micca COVO-S 2-Way Passive Bookshelf Speakers, Amplifier Required, Not for Turntable, 3-Inch Woofer, 0.75-Inch Tweeter, Wall Mountable, Pair, Black - Amazon Basics Speaker Cable, Easy Assembly, 16-Gauge, Bronze, 100 ft --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1162654-micca-mb42x-c-advanced-2-way-passive-center-channel-speaker](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1162654-micca-mb42x-c-advanced-2-way-passive-center-channel-speaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
