Company History
Since 1972, Monitor Audio’s near fanatical commitment to quality in every aspect of loudspeaker design coupled with
its willingness to innovate has inspired global recognition and acclaim. Daring to challenge design orthodoxy has been
its signature approach.
When Monitor Audio launched its R852MD loudspeaker – the rst
model to incorporate a metal dome tweeter - it caused quite a stir.
Until that time, most metal domes were single-metal types made
from copper or titanium and virtually all sounded unconvincing.
The R852 used an aluminium-magnesium alloy dome and sounded
signicantly better and smoother than all of its single-metal rivals.
It also incorporated ferro-uid damping/cooling of the metal voice-
coil former and a vented voice coil mechanism for better heat
dissipation. These radical design elements formed the basis for
successive generations of C-CAM® metal domes.
By consistently rening and applying the technology, Monitor Audio has become the world’s foremost proponent of
metal dome drivers. Monitor Audio designs everything in house at their world headquarters in England, so that it can
optimise the incomparable blend of virtues that makes Monitor Audio loudspeakers unique: clean, dynamic sound,
superior build quality and innovative design. Because they share a philosophy of excellence and a consistency of
quality and voicing, loudspeakers of dierent types: on-wall, in-wall, oor and stand-mounting, may be used together
to create the perfect acoustic blend for any room.
In the strength and depth of Monitor Audio’s evolving product portfolio, the ideal of a universal whole-house
loudspeaker brand nds true expression. Decades of accumulated expertise and knowledge have rened the rare
mix of innovation, reliability and sheer performance that has propelled the brand to global status and on which
acionados of music and movie sound have come to rely.
