ARC
Monitor Audio's Anti-Resonance Tecnnoloy is present in a number of their speaker ranges. Refined for the Platinum II range the technology is essentially a high density polymer with added minerals which is cured by high temperateure to set it. Once set it is an extremely inert material, ideal for optimal dampening. As the material is highly resistant to vibration and extremely rigid it helps prevent the propagation of standing waves and model resonances.
DFC
A new innovation on the Platinum II series is the Dynamic Coupling Filter. It serves a couple of purposes, firstly it acts as a flexible coupling between the voice coil and the driver and is calibrated specifically to the crossover frequency of the driver to dampen energy which could cause distortion. Further to that the perforations in the DFC alow air to pass though, releasing pressure for a more natural sound.
Finishes
The Platinum II range is available in three sumptuous deluxe finishes, real wood ebony or santos rosewood veneer and high gloss piano black lacquer. All models feature a front baffle which is hand-upholstered in the very best quality Inglestone leather for a truely luxury look and feel.
