The new flagship series of Platinum loudspeakers from classic British brand Monitor Audio goes on sale in January and combines Monitor Audio's 50 years of experience in one speaker range.
In addition to the MPD III high-frequency transducer, other new acoustic features include the RDT III cone which is used on all Platinum Series 3G midrange and bass drivers. It’s an extremely strong cone constructed from three distinct layers: a Nomex honeycombed core is sandwiched between an ultra-thin and ultra-rigid C-CAM layer and a twin layer of uni-directional Carbon Fiber, which are layered and bonded at 90 degrees to each other for greater strength.
The dedicated Mid-range driver used on the Platinum 200 3G and Platinum 300 3G models includes several significant enhancements that help to create a smoother transition across the frequency range, delivering a more consistent crossover with the MPD III tweeter. Adding Monitor Audio’s innovative Dynamic Coupling Filter mechanism helps control cone breakup, while there are also larger more powerful Neodymium magnets, a new motor system, plus an underhung edge-wound voice-coil.
