MICROSAT

The Tannoy Microsat satellite loudspeaker is the perfect solution wherever an architecturally
discreet and compact sound system is required. The Microsat uses a single, full-range,
76mm (3”) by 127mm (5”) elliptical drive unit featuring Tannoy’s ICT™ technology.

The ICT drive unit addresses the two most common sources of component failure in
background music and sound reinforcement systems; the tweeter and the crossover. ICT
or Inductive Coupling Technology uses a wireless electromagnetic tweeter that does not
require a crossover and cannot be burned out from heavy use or misuse.

The Microsat is suitable for use in audio visual systems, council chambers, background
music and paging in retail, office, restaurant environments, and worship facilities. It can
also be used in 5.1 home theater systems, supplemented by a Tannoy subwoofer.
