Sidekick

Sidekick

The Manger Sidekick is one of the few speaker boxes that is not so much like a box, rather almost blending itself into your wall due to its small size. But, only their size is small, acoustically the Sidekick dwarfs many other much larger speakers. In addition the Manger Sidekick fulfils the aesthetic needs of your dwelling but still with the high quality of audiophile reproduction.

In combination with the Manger subwoofer Subsonice, the whole world of music with dynamics and emotion can be realised. The Sidekick becomes part of the wall in both the visual and acoustical sense because the wall works as a supporting boundary surface for unimpaired sound propagation. This has the intended consequence that the is no one special seating position to listen, rather like with our Zerobox models, you can listen much more freely of seating position.

The Manger sound transducer is complemented in the Sidekick by quality highest quality audio crossover design and construction, utilising only top-grade componentry and innovative damping materials for the cabinet. In addition due to the unique shape, the sealed polygon shaped housing allows an optimal adjustment towards the listening area or with the more inconspicuous ceiling mounting the optimal radiation to the listening positions which are under it. A specially developed wall-mount permits multiple mounting possibilities.

This model will not only please hifi enthusiasts due to its performance with two-channel sound, the Sidekick will also perform brilliantly with surround sound / home cinema systems. Due to the versatility of the Sidekick, not least a result of the Manger sound transducer, its strengths lie in the natural and realistic spatialness of the sound - all reproduced in your home.
