Monitor Audio Gold 500 6G Floorstanding Speakers
Monitor AudioThe Monitor Audio Gold 500 6G Floorstanding Speakers offer the highest level of performance and design in its price range. Featuring the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer, 3-inch mid-driver, and twin 8-inch bass drivers with HDT, C-CAM cone technology and powerful motor systems, these speakers provide a formidable acoustic experience for both sound and aesthetics.
New HDT, C-CAM Cone
Taking a cue from the honeycomb structure of the RDT III cone technology from Hyphn/ Platinum Series, the new HDT cone uses a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup to shift its frequency up by 10% compared to RST II.
New Aluminum mid-pod
The Gold Series 6G transducer and middriver sits within a dedicated, and carefully designed steel encased ‘mid-pod’. This enclosure ensures optimum acoustic performance without compromising the cabinet volume required for the bass drivers.
Cabinet Design
A top trim detail on the 100 6G and 500 6G models allows the MPD III to be placed higher up the cabinet, optimising the cabinet edge diffraction on these larger models. This helps deliver consistent and precise imaging across the entire frequency range.
New 6 and 8 inch Bass Drivers
With the new HDT, C-CAM cone, FEAoptimised surround and spider designs, plus increased voice coil length, the new Gold Series 6G’s 6- and 8-inch bass drivers exhibit greater linearity, reducing distortion in the bass for cleaner and punchier low end.
New 3-inch mid-frequency driver
Utilising a high-strength motor unit with a neodymium bucking magnet, a regressive spider design, and increased voice coil venting, the new Gold Series 6G’s 3-inch mid-frequency driver exhibits lower distortion and improved sensitivity, frequency response, and directivity.
New MPD III high frequency transducer
Based on the MPD III from Hyphn/Platinum Series, the Gold Series 6G’s MPD III has been carefully optimised to work in harmony with the driver system. Freedom from physical constraints as seen in the Hyphn’s M-Array has allowed for further optimisation for use in two-way systems.
New crossover design
Delivering on Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy, the Gold Series 6G’s crossovers have been optimised for in-room performance; this is particularly important for the new On-Wall product, where typical usage is closer to Custom Install than traditional HiFi.
