Microlab started producing audio peripherals primarily for PCs around 15 years ago and by following their mission, they have been able to push out competitive products at accessible prices while funding research and innovation in acoustics. Coming in with Microlab's latest innovation is the FC 50 2.1 speaker system featuring HC2D (High Clarity Close Distance)technology alongside advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and acoustic design that claims to offer uncoloured, 'super balanced' sound. If that isn't a nod towards nearfield monitoring, then the 'Desktop Nearfield Speaker' written on the back is definitely taking another step in that direction.
