The Mikros speaker

Mikros

The Arke Audio Mikros speakers deliver exceptional acoustic performance beyond what their compact dimensions suggest. 

Introducing the Mikros from Arke Audio

The Arke Audio Mikros are compact audiophile speakers that deliver exceptional acoustic performance beyond what their dimensions suggest. They are suitable for small and medium rooms and can be used in large spaces with the addition of the Kratos or Altus. These high-end stand mount speakers project powerful, articulate sound capable of filling substantial spaces with remarkable clarity and extended bass response.

Their thoughtful design creates an expansive, precisely defined soundstage with impressive depth and stability. Crafted using premium components and meticulous cabinet joinery, the Arke Audio Mikros embodies our commitment to elevated listening experiences within an elegantly proportioned enclosure that complements any environment.

Construction

Arke Audio design audiophile speakers that harmonise with diverse living spaces while maintaining acoustic excellence. Our enclosures utilize solid materials selected specifically for structural integrity, resonance control, and vibration management.

The Arke Audio Mikros features solid engineered bamboo construction, with a 30mm thick high density front baffle. The cabinet's exceptional quietness creates minimal acoustic signature, allowing the pure musical information to emerge uncoloured. This engineering approach results in remarkable clarity and spatial presence—sound that seems to exist independently in space rather than emanating from physical objects.

Driver Technology

Our driver selection process focuses on achieving the ideal balance between analytical precision and natural tonal character. The Mikros audiophile speakers are voiced for versatility across musical genres, with particular refinement in reproducing the nuanced textures of vocals, piano, brass, and string instruments.

Dynamic range is preserved with remarkable fidelity, handling complex percussive passages with ease. The mid/bass frequencies are reproduced through carefully selected SEAS Nextel drivers, featuring paper cones with proprietary Nextel surface treatment and additional damping layers. This configuration delivers exceptional detail and tonal accuracy throughout the critical midrange.

Tweeter Implementation

The high-frequency driver was selected to complement the midrange qualities of the SEAS Nextel cone. The Satori Textreme tweeter incorporates advanced carbon fiber technology, achieving low-distortion reproduction extending to 40kHz.

After comprehensive evaluation of beryllium, fabric, and TeXtreme options, we determined the TeXtreme driver integrates optimally with the mid/bass unit. This pairing creates the ideal equilibrium between transparency and detail while maintaining natural tonal character. The resulting presentation offers vivid, lifelike sound reproduction without introducing artificial brightness or forward characteristics.

Crossover Architecture

Arke Audio crossover networks feature premium-grade components, including Jantzen Alumen Z-cap capacitors and Jantzen copper foil wax coils. The second-order design minimizes signal path interference while ensuring seamless transition between drivers.

Internal wiring utilizes a hybrid of single-crystal silver and single-crystal copper conductors, further enhancing signal integrity and overall system performance.

Beautifully engineered sound

Arke Audio create beautiful speakers crafted to the highest quality. Designed and built in the UK to achieve a best-in-class audio performance. Using the highest quality components, our speakers are built to perform well above their price point.
