Monitor Audio, distributed in Canada by Kevro International, has launched redesigned Gold Series 6G series speakers, which includes six loudspeakers.
The Gold Series 6G speakers boast a new metal cone technology in the form of Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology (HDT). HDT draws on the RDT III cones used in the Hyphn and flagship Platinum Series 3G, which consists of a NomexÒ honeycomb layer sandwiched between aluminium and carbon fibre skins. The HDT cone employs a new hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup, creating a cone that shifts the frequency up by 10% compared to the RST II cones found on the Silver Series 7G.
The new cone also uses Monitor Audio’s proprietary C-CAM technology, which the company says produces a stronger, more fatigue-resistant cone compared to standard aluminium designs. The result is that the new HDT, C-CAM cones are among the strongest, most piston-like cones Monitor Audio has ever engineered.
The new HDT, C-CAM cones have been used across the range, including a new three-inch mid-frequency driver, a six-inch bass-mid unit, and six- and eight-inch bass drivers.
The speakers incorporate a revised version of Monitor Audio’s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer used in both Hyphn and the Platinum Series. This bespoke design delivers precise high-frequency sound with greater consistency, clarity, and accuracy, says the company. Thus, music sounds “more lifelike, crisp, and real.”
The Gold Series 6G’s crossovers have been optimized for in-room performance; this is particularly important for the new On-Wall 6G model, where typical usage is closer to custom install than traditional Hi-Fi.
All the Gold Series 6G’s cabinets are designed to form a rigid structure, thus allowing the drivers to perform to their optimum capabilities. A top trim detail on the 100 and 500 models allows the MPD III high-frequency transducer to be placed further up the cabinet, optimizing the cabinet edge diffraction on these larger models. This helps deliver consistent and precise imaging across the entire frequency range.
For the first time, the new Gold Series 6G boats a man-made ebony veneer, which affords a significant reduced to carbon impact compared to traditional methods of real wood veneered production. The high-gloss black and satin white finishes add a contemporary edge.
The Gold 500 6G is a flagship featuring the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside the new three-inch mid-driver and twin eight-inch bass drivers, both of which benefit from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and powerful motor systems. It’s available for $,9499/pr.
The Gold 300 6G ($6,999/pr). has a smaller footprint and slimmer profile compared to the 500 6G. Designed to house the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside the new three-inch mid-driver and powerful twin six-inch bass drivers, both of which benefit from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and powerful motor systems.
The Gold 100 6G ($5,199/pr.) is a three-way, stand-mount speaker capable of deep extended bass, lifelike midrange, and clear high frequencies. It features the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer, the new three-inch mid-driver, and a powerful eight-inch bass driver, both of which benefit from the latest HDT, CCAM cone technology and hugely powerful motor systems.
As a compact, high-fidelity bookshelf speaker, the Gold 50 6G ($2,999/pr.) has discreet proportions, plus the ability to partner it with the ST-2 speaker stand, offering flexible placement options. It’s designed to house the latest MPD III high- frequency transducer and powerful six-inch bass-mid driver, both of which benefit from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and powerful motor systems.
The Gold On-Wall 6G ($1,799 ea.) is a new, flexible addition to the Gold Series 6G range. Its slim profile allows it to be used as a rear and side channel AV speaker, but it also means that it is perfect for wall-mountable front LCR (left-centre-right) applications, making it an ideal home cinema speaker. It features the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer, and a powerful six-inch bass-mid driver thar benefits from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and a powerful motor system.
The Gold C250 6G ($2,999 ea.) is a compact three-way centre-channel speaker featuring powerful twin six-inch bass drivers benefiting from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone and powerful motor systems, the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer, plus a three-inch mid-frequency driver that ensures vocals and dynamic passages within movie scores or soundtracks are delivered with realism and detail.
Monitor Audio’s Gold Series 6G speakers are available in high-gloss black, satin white, and, for the first time, a man-made ebony veneer finish.
