Paint-able surface to blend with the living environment.
Additional scrim material is provided for trouble free painting.
Airtight enclosure design, which protects each precision-engineered driver system against the damaging ingress of dust and dirt.
Gold Dome C-CAM
The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats.
RST
The Rigid Surface Technology (RST) cone profile demonstrates how a very light material (like paper) can be strengthened and made more rigid by making small and precise folds on its surface. Monitor Audio has applied this technology in designing the CAM/RST cones for the GX and RX ranges. Developed and perfected using sophisticated computer modelling (Finite Element Analysis), cones has been strengthened by a pattern of dimples. Simulations have proved that RST significantly increases cone rigidity, allowing the radiating surfaces to resist mechanical bending forces that produce distorted sound. The strengthening effect of RST provides speed and accuracy while offering greatly reduced distortion and helps to displace standing waves that can propagate on the cones surface.
From the very first speaker, the iconic MA1, the brand developed, innovated, designed and refined, with a pioneering approach that saw patent after patent filed. It’s an ethos that hasn’t changed at all. In fact, Monitor Audio is one of very few high-end audio brands still developing new, cutting-edge technologies today.
