Xiaomi continues to expand its dominance from the smartphone market into the home and desktop ecosystem at full speed. The new acoustic sound system, which created a significant buzz in the Chinese market with its price-to-performance ratio, has finally begun its global journey.
Launched in China as the Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro and rebranded as the Xiaomi Desktop Speaker Pro Set for international markets, this new device aims to provide a high-quality audio experience for budget-conscious users, complete with a wireless subwoofer and a highly competitive price tag.
What Does the Xiaomi Desktop Speaker Pro Set Offer?
The global launch of this advanced sound system was first initiated in Singapore with an aggressive price of approximately $109. Expected to hit European and other markets shortly, the device serves as a satisfying alternative for desktop gamers, cinema enthusiasts, and music lovers despite its compact structure.
The heart of the system, the main speaker unit, features a four-driver architecture consisting of two 10W racetrack-type drivers and dual passive radiators positioned horizontally to create a wider stereo field. To ensure audio reaches the listener directly without losing acoustic detail in desktop setups, the main unit is designed with a specific 53-degree upward tilt.
The standout feature of the system is undoubtedly the independent wireless subwoofer. Capable of reaching deep frequencies down to 60Hz, this subwoofer synchronizes with the main unit via a low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless connection, eliminating cable clutter on the desk.
Advanced DSP and Connectivity Features
Supported by an advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) system, the device features five distinct Equalizer (EQ) modes: Music, Bass, Vocal, Game, and Cinema. Notably, the subwoofer can automatically optimize its bass output based on the selected mode.
- Connectivity: Standard options include USB, Bluetooth 5.3 with A2DP support, and a classic AUX input.
- Microphone Support: The system includes a built-in microphone with acoustic echo cancellation for online meetings and in-game chats, as well as a 3.5mm input for external microphones.
- RGB Lighting: A total of 29 LEDs (24 on the main speaker and 5 on the subwoofer) offer six different visual effects, a favorite for gaming setups.
Controls for lighting, volume, and input selection are easily managed via a stylish rotary knob on the side and buttons on the top of the unit.
Xiaomi is poised to shift the balance in the desktop audio market by offering a wireless subwoofer, RGB lighting, and a four-driver main unit for around $109. Do you think a dedicated 2.4 GHz wireless subwoofer is a game-changer for reducing desk clutter, or do you prefer traditional wired setups for zero interference? Share your thoughts in the comments!
