Description
The flagship Monitor Audio Gold 500 6G is engineered to deliver the very highest levels of performance. It features the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside an HDT, C-CAM 3-inch mid-driver and twin 8-inch bass drivers.
The Gold 500 6G is the flagship model of the new Gold Series 6G. It represents the highest-levels of performance and system design at the price point, and within this competitive market segment. Designed to house the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside the new 3-inch mid-driver and powerful twin 8-inch bass drivers, each of which benefit from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and hugely powerful motor systems. The Gold 500 6G is a worthy flagship for such a prestigious range; a formidable acoustic treat for the ears as well as the eyes.
Impactful, dynamic and controlled bass.
With the new HDT, C-CAM cone, FEA-optimised 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 for cleaner and punchier low end. Rigidly secured in place by a new cast aluminium, light-weight chassis design, it provides the optimum structure with maximum airflow around the drive unit.
Crossover Design – the purest of signals.
Gold Series 6G’s crossovers have been developed using high-quality capacitors and have undergone hundreds of hours of listening by Monitor Audio’s acoustics team. Many iterations have been repeatedly tested to ensure the smoothest, cleanest audio signal is delivered to each drive unit.
As beautifully finished as luxury furniture.
All Gold Series 6G’s cabinets are designed to form the most rigid structure possible, which allows the drivers to perform to their optimum capabilities. Coupled with cleverly calculated geometry, advanced bracing techniques and technically accurate crossovers, the cabinets are an important element of the total system under Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy.
Machined & Die-Cast Aluminium Details
The exquisite quality of the Gold Series 6G is the result of paying close attention to even the smallest details. Carefully conceived and delivered with conviction throughout the design, these details combine to make the whole special. The machined aluminium, anodised driver trims are precise and clean; the delicate shadow gaps around them offer a subtle lift to provide an element of sophistication atop the beautifully veneered wooden or painted cabinets.
