MarkAudio MicroNC5_UTAG_Walnut Bookshelf Speakers, Set of 1

The MicroNC5 UTAG Walnut is a compact speaker system designed to fully unleash the capabilities of the Alpair 5G, featuring a UTAG glass diaphragm. Rather than simply extending the frequency range, it emphasizes accurately reproducing the timeline of sound—how it is born, resonates, and fades away.
The sound of musical instruments is composed of four elements: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release.
The UTAG glass diaphragm accurately depicts the attack thanks to its high transmission speed and lightweight construction, while excellent internal damping naturally controls the resonance. This timeline-accurate playback brings lifelike presence and impact to music.

UTAG Sound that Produces Clarity Like 8K

The sound delivered by the UTAG diaphragm is not the type to boast about information density. However, the moment a note is played, previously unnoticed contours and the depth of space become naturally apparent. It’s like stepping up the resolution of a video by one level. The transparent quality of sound, as if a curtain has been lifted, leaves a strong impression once experienced.

The Optimal Solution for Alpair 5G

MicroNC5 UTAG inherits the philosophy of the "Living Audio Series," highly regarded by audio professionals who know music, while being optimized specifically for the Alpair 5G. Despite its compact size, there is no compromise in soundstage expression, imaging, or information balance. It is designed to allow deep immersion in music effortlessly in everyday listening spaces.

A luxurious cabinet made from solid wood

For the enclosure, the front baffle and top and bottom plates are made of solid walnut, and the side plates and back are made of solid spruce, which is highly regarded as a material for musical instruments. Walnut, which has both hardness and tenacity, supports the core of the sound, and spruce adds rich resonance and spaciousness. Combinations that take advantage of the characteristics of materials create natural and tangible reproductions.

Natural bass with oval laminated bass reflex

The bass reflex port uses a bass reflex duct made by cutting oval blocks of wood and stacking them, just like the higher-end NatureCollection models. This suppresses incidental noise and unnecessary resonance peculiar to bass reflex, and achieves both volume and texture in the low range. There is little muddiness in the mid-high range, and vocals are clearly localized.

Integrated structure supported by Araregumi

The MicroNC series is characterized by the use of arare-gumi for joining the top and bottom plates and side plates.
The parts are machined with high precision using a CNC processing machine and then hammered into place using a mallet to bond them together, dramatically increasing the strength of the joint. The entire enclosure resonates as one, giving the music a natural sense of depth and stability.
