Monitor Audio has launched the Gold Series 6G, an all-new, totally redesigned collection comprising six distinctive loudspeakers.
The sixth generation features new metal cone technology in the form of Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology (HDT).
“HDT draws on the RDT III cones utilised in the ground-breaking Hyphn and flagship Platinum Series 3G, which consists of a Nomex® honeycomb layer sandwiched between aluminium and carbon fibre skins,” said Monitor Audio, which is distributed in Australia by Interdyn.
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 utilises Monitor Audio’s proprietary C-CAM technology. The company said that when compared to standard aluminium designs, it produces a stronger, more fatigue-resistant cone.
The new HDT, C-CAM cones have been utilised across the range, including a new 3” mid-frequency driver, a 6” bass mid unit. and 6” and 8” bass drivers.
Key acoustic features include a revised version of Monitor Audio’s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer used in both the Hyphn and Platinum Series.
“This bespoke design delivers precise high-frequency sound with greater consistency, clarity and accuracy,” said Monitor Audio. “The levels of detail achieved makes music sound more lifelike, crisp and real.”
For the first time the new Gold Series 6G features a man-made ebony veneer.
A top trim detail on the 100 and 500 models allows the MPD III high-frequency transducer to be placed further up the cabinet, which the British audio company said optimises “the cabinet edge diffraction on these larger models … this helps deliver consistent and precise imaging across the entire frequency range”.
