Dayton Audio MK402 Speakers

The Dayton Audio MK402 will make you rethink what a budget speaker system can be. Featuring a textured black vinyl finish and a unique geometric baffle design, this two-way speaker stands apart from others in its price range. The removable grille uses high-quality black cloth to discreetly obscure the speaker’s most appealing feature: the drivers inside. A ¾-inch tweeter delivers an airy, elegant top end sure to please anyone who enjoys the more delicate side of music overlooked by most speakers. The dispersion from this tweeter provides a lifelike ambiance that sets the stage for any track. Meanwhile, the 4-inch woofer can play down to the 60-hertz range with ease. And while a woofer of this size would normally limit the upper frequency range, that’s not the case here. This one plays through a large portion of the vocal range, adding coherency and smoothness.

Audioholics  says, “Diana’s voice sounded vibrant and rich, and I did not sense anything amiss. Imaging was very good, as good as I have heard on much more expensive speakers. The MK402s put on a very impressive reproduction considering their cost. The MK402s caught all the bass that this album had to offer as well. While the bass wasn’t as powerful as it is with subwoofers, it was clean and was not overly emphatic on any particular group of notes.”
