Monitor Audio 100 series User Manual

G o o d 100 Series 2-way Loudspeakers
All 100 Series loudspeakers incorporate proprietary technologies and materials found in our
award-winning Bronze and Radius in-room loudspeakers. 100 Series models are 2-way
designs that combine advanced MMP
®
II bass drivers with Monitor Audio’s trademark
C-CAM
®
gold dome tweeter to provide high-performance sound, ease of drive, and wide
frequency response and dispersion. Optimum imaging and set-up are established via a
pivoting tweeter and high-frequency (+3dB / 0dB /-3dB) level adjustment.
B e t t e r 200 Series 2-way Loudspeakers
The step to the 200 Series 2-way loudspeakers is dened by upgrades in driver technology
and control features. All 200 Series loudspeakers incorporate proprietary technologies and
materials found in our highly acclaimed Silver in-room loudspeakers. 200 Series models
marry C-CAM
®
bass drivers with a more highly specied version of the C-CAM
®
gold
dome tweeter. Optimum imaging and set-up are established via a pivoting tweeter, high-
frequency (+3dB / 0dB / -3dB) level adjustment, and Boundary Compensation (on / off)
controls. The Series 200 2-way loudspeakers provide extended high-frequency response
to 30kHz, and higher output and power handling capacity than the 100 Series 2-way
models.

200 Series 3-way loudspeakers feature our unique Inverted Dual Concentric (IDC
®
) driver
module. The IDC

midrange and 1-inch C-CAM
®
gold dome tweeter. 200 Series 3-way models combine C-CAM
®
bass drivers with an
IDC
®
driver module to provide rich midrange detail, higher system output, greater power
handling, and superior vocal intelligibility and sound localization than 200 Series 2-way
models. Optimum imaging and set-up are established via the pivoting IDC
®
, high-

®
bass
drivers with RST
®
cone proles and a cast-aluminum driver chassis with an IDC
®
driver module to provide deeper bass, higher system output, and greater power
handling than the 200 Series 3-way models. Like the 200 Series 3-way loudspeakers, the
300 Series models provide rich midrange detail, and superior vocal intelligibility and
sound localization. Optimum imaging and set-up are established via the pivoting IDC
®
,
high-frequency (+3dB / 0dB / -3dB) level adjustment, and Boundary Compensation (on /
off) controls. The W380LCR in-wall loudspeaker adds a midrange-frequency (+3dB / 0dB
/ -3dB) level adjustment for system tuning and a die-cast aluminum front bafe for added
rigidity resulting in superior bass articulation.
