Monitor Audio 100 series User Manual

Our ‘LCR’ models are the best choice as front speakers
in theater and music applications
Two of the most important attributes of front speakers for the reproduction of movies and
music are Vocal Band Intelligibility and Front Sound Localization.
Vocal Band Intelligibility
Is the ability to hear every sound clearly and without strain. This is difcult when dialog is
competing with the lm score and loud sound effects such as explosions and collisions.
When you can’t hear the dialog clearly, it’s difcult to follow the movie or with music, to
understand what the vocalist is singing.
Front Sound Localization
Is the ability to match the “sonic picture” with on-screen action. For example, if an automobile
travels from the left side of the screen to the right side and the sound of the automobile pans
from left to right matching the on-screen action, the scene becomes believable. Likewise
with music, creating an accurate “stereo image” of the band with all instruments placed
properly in space will add realism to your music listening experience.

Superior Clarity and Imaging
The IDC
®
driver module houses a 4-inch C-CAM
®
midrange and 1-inch C-CAM
®
dome
tweeter. We selected a 4-inch midrange driver to enable a low crossover point from
the midrange to the bass driver. Directional information radiates from the IDC
®
driver
module, which covers a wide frequency range from 250Hz to 30KHz. This is of paramount
importance for vocal band intelligibility and accurate sound localization because our
unique IDC
®
design prevents diffraction effects that can impact midrange clarity and
imaging.
High Power Handling and Output
The 4-inch midrange driver utilizes an over-sized 1.5-inch edge-wound voice coil. Separate
tweeter and midrange Neodymium magnet systems provide high overall power handling
and efciency. The IDC
®
driver module operates in its own completely sealed chamber to
provide accurate damping and perfect acoustic alignment.
