Product Description
If you’re like many of us here on Drop, you do a lot of listening at your desk. You might use headphones, IEMs, or studio monitors; or you might be searching for something else—an elusive, desk-sized sweet spot. Stop the search: you’ve found it. Meet the Drop BMR1 Nearfield Monitors: sleek, streamlined speakers with ultra-expressive sound, designed specifically for the desktop. Hit "Request" and be the first to know when the BMR1 launches.
There is a mode switch on the rear of the speaker that can attenuate the bass from the speakers for better pairing with a sub. This will also allow the speaker to play a bit louder than it does in full-range mode.
The headphone output is intended for use with low impedance headphones and gaming headsets. The 6XX can still be used but you would likely be better off with a dedicated headphone amp that is able to deliver more power.
I think the plan right now is to promote “freedom of choice.” If Drop finds an excellent pairing, they will offer it, but in the meantime Dayton audio makes an affordable 8” powered sub that would work nicely: https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/1048/sub-800-8-80-watt-powered-subwoofer
I also was looking at a Jamo compact 8” subwoofer… the BMR1 has a standard, non-proprietary sub out, so it’s truly a modular option.
I hope to demo it with a slim subwoofer I have from Creative Labs, which should take up less space under my desk. I also have a popular 10” sub from Polk Audio (PSW10) which is 50W RMS (peak 100W), but that’s too big for my home office.
However, no-sub mode might be beneficial while working, to create softer background music that won’t distract.
