Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due Speaker

Due' in White  Due' on Stand  Due' in White   Due' in Black

Barely 11 inches tall and 5" wide, DUE benefits from the patented and proprietary technologies developed by Anthony Gallo for his award-winning series of loudspeakers. Based upon the company's best-selling Nucleus Micro™, each DUE is comprised of two of these spherically-shaped, 4" speakers seperated by a patented CDT™ tweeter. DUE boasts the extraordinary midrange purity of the Micro™, combined with the most natural and extended trebles of any speaker on the market. Impressive power handling, 93dB sensitivity, 60Hz-40kHz frequency response and textbook-perfect dispersion enable this video-shielded speaker to shine in any room, and with any system.

Cylindrical Diaphragm Transducer ( CDT )

Patented by Anthony Gallo, CDT is made up of a diaphragm membrane made of Kynar, a cutting edge aerospace plastic.  This diaphragm is then coated with pure silver because of it high conductivity and reliability.  Next we silver solder high quality oxygen free copper wires to each and of the diaphragm.  Finally, the diaphragm assembly is tightly wrapped around a rigid polypropylene core.  This inner core acts as attenuation for the driver's back-wave.  Unlike conventional drivers, the CDT doesn't use voice coils or magnets.  Instead the signal is passed across the conductive surface of the diaphragm, which attempts to expand, while the shape of the driver supplies the necessary restorative forces

From an interior design standpoint we have recognized that speakers are really furniture in the respect that they are an integral part of the room in which they reside.  A speaker that makes music and actually fits your personal décor.  People are talking: "An ideal balance of style and substance."….."Extremely good at the price."….."The micro is the best looking and sounding speaker system of its type that I've auditioned."…..

Gallo Acoustics Nucleus A'Diva Speaker

Offered in Black, Silver or White

A Premium Gallo Satellite Subwoofer System At Fred's

The Micro Satellite

The satellite uses a three inch, full range driver housed in a four inch spherical, steel enclosure. There is no crossover in the critical vocal range. We use proprietary and patented "S2" technology for full rich sound. The result is a transparent, dynamic, lifelike sound which does an excellent job of conveying the emotional content of the music.  There are six colors to fit any décor.  Black, White, Stainless, Champagne, Wine-Red and Bronze.

The SubWoofer

With this subwoofer even explosions have texture. A better sounding speaker will give you better sounding effects. Why should we not be able to hear all the detail and not just some muddy, boomy, boxy sounding crash.  Since we expect you to be able to use our sub for music and not just theater sound effects, we use the highest quality woofer we could find. In fact, we had this one jointly developed with Peerless of Denmark to work synergistically with our patented S2 technology.  Our 150 Watt rating is for continuous RMS. This means a continuous output, all day long, of 150 Watts. It has a big heavy power supply and very high parts quality.

Optional Dual
Subwoofer System

Two subs off of one amp module.  Flexibility is not something normally associated with subwoofers. Typically you try your best to hide the ugly thing in a corner or under a plant and sacrifice getting at the controls or finding the optimal room positioning. The MPS 150 allows you to remove the amplifier module and place it with the rest of your equipment while having to hide only a very small woofer housing. Our sub can be made small enough to actually fit under a couch or other piece of furniture. It can do this while still having the output normally associated with subwoofers many times this size. More importantly, only the audio signal via a single wire needs to get to the sub. No power cord is involved and thus you are not limited by outlet location for your positioning!  Fred's will show you how easy it is to run two subwoofers

Wallflower Floor Stands (optional).  When we were looking at stand options for the Micro satellites we were faced with a design challenge. The sphere looks best when it appears to "float" in space. This is the purest presentation in our opinion. We then looked to the natural world for ideas and discovered that the Sunflower stalk makes the perfect stand for a sphere. We modeled ours after that. The wires can be completely hidden inside the stem and exit at the top behind the terminal plate on the satellites. From the front or side views they are almost invisible. The stand base is weighted to minimize the footprint and provide the sleekest possible look. All in all we feel it is an elegant design solution.

Home Theater Package

For theater use, you will not find a more elegant, compact solution. We have been quick to recognize the fact that technology is quickly invading your living space. It has long been acceptable to have a television in the middle of an otherwise beautiful living room. We have also tolerated early speaker designs, which tended to look more like furniture than electronics. All of that changed with the coming of home theater. Having a theater means that we now have to find places

for five speakers and a subwoofer in that same room. The rush was on to build smaller and cheaper speakers. Problem is, that is exactly what they look like, small, cheap, plastic boxes and mind you most of them are not all that small. They are more like bookshelf speakers than the satellites they claim to be. Hopefully you will notice that we have solved this problem. The Micro theater system blends into your room and sounds fantastic. We hope that you will actually want to see them.With a subwoofer that looks more like modern sculpture, and satellites available to match almost any color scheme, you are on your way to design freedom.
