Manager of product development Paul Wojciechowski says, “The goal for Monitor Series 7 was to further improve acoustic integrity while presenting a more streamlined aesthetic within a (slightly) smaller footprint, particularly on the floor standing speakers and centre channels.”

Monitor Series 7 design highlights

Self-aligning magnetic grille design. Honeycomb interior corner architecture ensures a more spacious and transparent sound since the new architecture prevents sound capture in grille corners, so acoustic integrity remains intact whether speakers are played with grilles on or grilles off.

Complete baffle redesign: MDF across the board for further increased solidity and cabinet resonance reduction; A cleaner, fastener-free front-panel aesthetic; Magnetic baffle design makes it easier to remove should servicing ever be necessary; Baffle has been FEA-optimised to remove resonances and vibrations and critically tuned to the rest of the cabinet.

Elegant plinth (base) provides stability for the narrower floor standing footprints and a stylistically cleaner, less intrusive alternative to outrigger feet.

20% overall reduction in model footprints – floor standers and centre channels.

Monitor 7 is a new size and a 3-driver model (vs. 4 drivers in previous iterations) covering the spectrum through a tweeter, mid/bass and bass driver with audible improvements in sensitivity and extension.

Monitor 11 is now the size of the original Monitor 9 v.6 but a 5-driver model (vs. 4 drivers in previous iterations) covering the spectrum through a tweeter, dedicated midrange driver and three bass drivers with audible improvements in sensitivity and extension

Two new centre channels have been introduced to replace the original CC-190, CC-290 and CC-390.

Monitor Surround 1 has replaced the ADP’s of the previous Monitor Series and Surround 3 featuring revised design and technology in keeping with the way sound is being mastered and mixed in today’s recording studios.
