«Prev 1 Next»
Great review as always and they seem like some epic speakers Quote
These seem like good speakers but I love my surround sound too much and I would never go back to using a two speaker set up.
Surround sound adds even more depth, especially for gaming where the sound is dynamic, anyone who has had a decent surround sound set up would never say you aren't missing out with two speakers. Trust me, you are Quote
So Microlab, not a name that makes you instantly think of a speaker manufacturer is it... Don't worry we didn't think so either, and we would have to admit that they were not even on our radar for asking for review samples either. That was until we heard them at Gadget Show Live... We had stopped by a stand to say hi to some 'industry friends' and they 7C's were on display but also at that moment hammering out some tunes too. It took us all of 60 seconds to decide we had to have a set to test and the rest as they say is history! So lets crack on and take a look at the specifications so you know the basics before we start the Video Review. Specifications
So much is the trend to add increasingly more speakers or crazy software to imitate having a room full of speakers that it has started to ruin what speakers should really be about. Music. Good clear, quality unmessed with music. Any music aficionado knows there is only one real way to enjoy it and that's in Stereo, start adding any effects and surround to it and you just ruin it. With an old set of Z5500's we used to have in the office they were set to stereo X2 and all the Gucci effects were just set to off.
Enough of the stories but that's why we like the 7C's, its back to basics, 2 simple units one with the amplifier built in, 110w RMS total and both units have 2 massive 6.5" drivers for the mid and bass tones and a 1" cone tweeter to take care of the highs. You may think without a dedicated sub they would seem underpowered but you couldn't be more wrong. The bass is immense, like so crazy we even dialed the bass DOWN when testing them watching films because they were shaking the whole room!
Having 2 speakers that take care of everything keeps everything simple, makes cabling easy and also making them look right in your room easy too. The one thing we can get used to is quite how much these things pummel you with audio, the size of the drivers really does make a HUGE difference. Compared to the SP2500's we are used to there just seems to be so much more sound be thrown at you even if the volume levels are the same. Its a difficult thing to try and explain but take our word for it size does make a huge difference!
Something we have noticed is that you really don't want to be too close to these speakers, you either need to be sat back from them or have the set up away from you. So if you have them set up beside your TV you wont be sat right on top of them so it should be fine, but for PC use having them at the edge of your monitor really wont work. You'd need to get them moved a good 8' to 10' away preferably at the edge of your room. Might sound like a PITA but once set up correctly oh boy will you hear the difference, the bass will become deeper and the highs so much more balanced. Try it out... You'll soon see!
So to recap, for anyone with a HTPC set up in their front room or someone that see's music and films as the main use for their PC these speakers are perfect for you. Couple them up with a decent sound card and you are on to a winner. Looking around the shops these are ONLY £110 too so almost half the price of other quality PC audio set ups which makes them an absolute bargain in our eyes and easily worth the OC3D Gold Award, but also a complimentary "you cant have them back they now live in our front room" Award!!! That last bit should tell you everything you really needed to know. Yes they are that good! We would like to thank Microlab for the speakers on test here today, you can discuss your thoughts in the OC3D forums.

Pros : clear mids, extended but not overly aggressive highs, pretty good bass.very coherent sound @ a decent price. look nice
Cons : needs a big enough room, sub would do better for the low end. un-eqed bass might be intrusive or overbearing for some, especially close up
I bought these to replace a set of multimedia logitech speakers after reading the IXBT review for these. You can have a look at the RMAA analysis on IXBT. You can also see what's inside the speakers on the pics there.
At some point it became clear I needed a 2.0 system or 2.1 system for music, and the corsair multimedia set I had was too V shaped for classical piano/violin + orchestra or metal and sounded horrible.
The alternative was much smaller monitor speakers most of which seemed to have problems reproducing the low end.
Long story short - the clarity of these make the corsair 2500 I had sound like a cheap boom-box.
I'm very impressed with the 7c and they seem to be fantastic value for money. (mine were used for $170, but I think new they're about 200-250)
These are active speakers and so have a built-in amp. There're also built-in tone controls accessible via the remote. To my taste - I'd probably set those to '-2 or -3 bass' since I think there's a slight upper bass hump that corrects.
The speaker boxes are made out of MDF and are very solid and they do look fairly pretty and at the very least not cheap.
7c come with a remote and volume control duplicated at the back of the speakers along with a hard power switch.
With very slight eqing I get a sound very similar to my Unique Melody Merlins, with better imaging. (at a fraction of the price)
These speakers are extremely versatile and I've enjoyed them greatly over 3 years with Rock, Metal, Symphonic classical or soloist + orchestra classical, pop or hip-hop.
The voices sound crisp and natural, the guitars sound crisp and so do cymbals and high hats (but not unnaturally so). The low end is very satisfying with a slight mid bass bump/bleed but that can be easily eq-ed out.
I haven't heard any background noise until more than extreme volumes, and these can go exceedingly loud (they're not small speakers and in smaller rooms your ears will bleed out long before 7c will overload)
A word of caution, the 6" speakers used for lows+low mids are not magic and will not be 13" sub level, but they're very decent for what they are.
Finally, they're not small speakers, and you might be better off getting their 3c version for smaller rooms, but I haven't tried it myself.
Interesting, don't think I want a 9c www.ixbt.com/multimedia/acoustic-duel-apr-2014.shtml . more vshaped, might have cooling issues and have earlier bass roll off
But microlab solo7cnew sounds good... remote power standby Lol

The other Interesting thing is my 7c is still working well. I think they're 5 years old now
NO! The 9C is awful. Nothing at all like the 7C. None of the 3d treble projection and magic and a ton of floppy uncontrolled "bass" for want of a better word.
My first set of 7C's started humming and generating heat so I thought i'd give the next step up a try. Bad move - were replaced with 7's the next day.
Melbournite Should have known.
CPL sell the 7C(new) for $169 at last check. Scorptec and MSY should be about the same.
I have the latest version - still need to bend down and power off. I get a soft but noticable whining sound when the volume is set to 21 and 27 as well but meh...
