CP Gold Signature Features
CP GS speakers utilise our C-CAM
®
(Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium alloy) cone, featuring Rigid Surface
Technology (RST
®
). Impressions on the cone’s surface are designed to eliminate bending, increase stiffness and
lower mass when compared with conventional cone driver designs. The result is a much faster response, offering
music reproduction that is closer to the original performance. A rigid die-cast metal chassis design features a vented
rear section and provides extremely low distortion with typically higher output levels. The in-wall model uses the
exact same tweeter as that found in the regular stand mount and floor standing GS loudspeakers. Both the in-ceiling
and in-wall models extend all the way up to 30KHz.
Additional high frequency and mid-range frequency controls allow the user to set-up the system precisely to obtain
optimum performance within the listening environment. This inherent flexibility makes the CP GS speakers suitable for
a wider range of demanding applications than that offered by their competitors. They promise a truly ‘high-end’
performance from a custom fit, discreetly installed speaker system.
CP Silver RS Features
Our C-CAM
®
cone profiles and rubber surrounds maximise the potential of the driver mechanism. The new surrounds
allow greater cone excursions with lower distortion and improved frequency response linearity. The flush cone edge
provides a very smooth response and a natural, accurate sound. The Silver RS CP pivoting tweeter (In-Ceiling only)
is based on Monitor Audio’s famous 25mm gold C-CAM
®
dome. Improvements to the surround and motor system
have extended the frequency response to 30KHz, so that it is ready to exploit new wide bandwidth digital audio
formats such as SACD and DVD-A.
An additional high frequency control offers a fine-tuning option to allow the user to set-up the system precisely and
obtain optimum performance within the listening environment. This additional flexibility makes the Silver RS CP In-
Ceiling and In-Wall speakers suitable for a wider range of demanding residential and commercial applications.
CP Bronze Reference Features
The Bronze Reference drive unit, (MMP
®
II) offers an advanced driver technology developed from Monitor Audio’s
original Metal Matrix Polymer (MMP
®
) cone material and uses a high-pressure injection moulding process to achieve
different thickness at critical points in the cone geometry. MMP
®
II provides better stiffness and consistency and
tighter production tolerances resulting in superior sonic performance. The new bass-mid chassis design has a vented
rear section that reduces thermal power compression to deliver increased dynamic range and higher sound pressure
levels. This venting also lowers distortion by balancing the pressure within the voice-coil motor system. It means
clean, crisp bass and an even clearer mid-range performance.
High frequency performance has been improved by the evolution of the C-CAM
®
tweeter. The new tweeter utilises a
pivoting action (In-Ceiling only) to provide optimum imaging and flexible set-up options. The bespoke crossover uses
high-grade polypropylene film capacitors, and low distortion inductors
CP Radius Features
Driver technology refined to deliver the unparalleled sonic performance of Monitor Audio’s award-winning ultra-
compact Radius loudspeakers has been applied to its successful Controlled Performance (CP) in-wall/in-ceiling
designs to render a completely new flush-mounting loudspeaker range for the most discrete installations.
The in-wall and in-ceiling models utilise a pivoting 20mm C-CAM
®
Gold Dome tweeter, derived from the remarkable
Radius R45 hi-fi monitor - the smallest speaker Monitor Audio has ever made. Its pivoting action allows for the critical
high frequencies (to 25kHz) to be directed toward the listening position for the most accurate imaging. Radius CP
delivers added installation versatility by providing this feature from in-wall as well as in-ceiling locations. The
innovative in-ceiling stereo design uses dual fixed C-CAM
®
(Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium) domes fed
independently with stereo left/right signals. Bass and mid-range frequencies are accurately reproduced by a 5”
version of the acclaimed Radius MMP
®
Mk2 driver.
