Micro stereo system generally has three things in common: stereo speakers, a CD player and a radio. However, today some new features have started to appear. In this age of digital music, the mp3 and mp4 format are added on even the cheapest systems. Most commonly, manufacturers add support for the playback of mp3s that have been recorded to CD because a CD can hold around 10 album’s worth of music in compressed format.
With so many options, choosing the right micro stereo system for your particular needs can be difficult. Here are some micro stereo systems available out there.

With a CD player, integrated amplifier and tuner, and stereo bookshelf speakers, this micro stereo system is sized for adding to a living room, bedroom, kitchen, or home office. The separate CD player and receiver offer a space-saving depth of just 9.8 inches and luxurious aluminum front panels.
And the system replicates the same engineering expertise found in larger, high-end Denon models, including discrete amplifier outputs for clear stereo separation, a large transformer for robust yet stable power (an impressive 70 watts x 2 into the supplied Mission bookshelf speakers), and a high-capacity heat sink. The AM/FM tuner has a 40-station preset memory and the single-disc CD player is compatible with your own music mixes burned to CD-R/RW discs.
The CD player also offers a 96-kHz, 24-bit D/A converter for utterly faithful sound reproduction with wide dynamic range and clear, detailed sound, and an 8-times over sampling digital filter to restore analog naturalness to digital sound. The pair of acoustically matched speakers are designed and engineered by Denon, but with the added sound tuning expertise of acclaimed European speaker designers.
Convenience features include tone controls (bass, treble, loudness), dimmable display brightness (4 stages), auto function change (for one-touch switching from one sound source to another), a sleep timer (to automatically turn off the system in 10-minute increments up to 60 minutes), and an everyday timer (to automatically turn on/off the system at the same time each day).
Those three stereo systems mentioned above are not the only micro stereo system you can opt. You will be surprised at how many stereo systems you can purchase in the market depending on your needs and budget. There is Panasonic SC-EN38 Micro-Stereo System with Built-In iPod Cradle (Black), Sony CMTBX5BT CMT Micro Component System with Bluetooth Technology, and many more.
