English speaker company Monitor Audio announces the release of its new range of upmarket speakers : the Platinum.
Platinum speakers are sophisticated in the choice of materials as well as the technologies involved in the making of these deluxe babies.
All three feature a wide-bandwidth, ceramic-coated ribbon tweeter, combined with lower-range drivers that use aluminum-honeycomb diaphragms and baffles cast from mineral-loaded polymer to provide mass, stiffness, and high self-damping, finished with Strathspey leather, and subtly curved enclosures finished in piano lacquers.
three speakers will be available :
- Platinum 100
- compact two-way loudspeaker
- one 6.5-inch RDT bass-mid driver
- a C-CAM ribbon tweeter
The PL100 produces superior bass definition and articulate mid-range akin to the most accurate studio monitors. The extraordinary PL100 has the ability to reach bass frequencies previously unattainable in such a diminutive package. PL100 dimensions: 14_ x 8 × 11_ inches (HxWxD)
- Platinum 300
- three-way floor-standing loudspeaker
- two 8-inch RDT bass drivers
- one 4” RDT mid-range driver
- a C-CAM ribbon tweeter
The PL300 is a true wide-bandwidth speaker system and is able to cover an astonishing frequency spectrum from 28Hz—100 KHz.
- Platinum 350 Center
- 3-way, four-driver center channel speaker
Featuring the same driver compliment as the Platinum 300 Floorstanding Loudspeaker. The PL350C has the ability to reproduce frequencies from 32Hz—100 KHz, making it one of the widest bandwidth center speakers available.
Like the PL300, the PL350C’s RDT mid-range driver operates in its own ARC mid-range enclosure. Neutral tonal balance and sound that is clear from any kind of distortion or resonance makes it perfect for reproducing crystal clear dialogue.
The Platinum Range will be available in May 2007.
