Gold CP Features
Gold CP In-Ceiling 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.
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 Gold CP In-
Ceiling speaker suitable for a wider range of demanding applications than that offered by its competitors. It
promises a truly ‘high-end’ performance from a custom fit, discreetly installed speaker system.
Silver CP Features
Our C-CAM
®
(Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium alloy) 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 CP pivoting (In-Ceiling only) tweeter 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 CP
In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers suitable for a wider range of demanding residential and commercial applications.
Bronze CP Features
The Bronze drive unit, (MMP
®
Mk2) offers an advanced driver technology developed from Monitor Audio’s
original Metal Matrix Polymer cone material and uses a high-pressure injection moulding process to achieve
different thickness at critical points in the cone geometry. MMP
®
Mk2 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
