Monitor Audio Platinum Series Speaker System User Manual


 
Cabinet construction
The cabinets are of multiple laminations of wood
veneer in a rigid plywood-type construction shaped
to form a one piece shell. Internally, the sides are
non-regular, preventing the formation of standing
waves, which undermine the accuracy of the system.
Monitor Audio has developed a unique ‘pin-hole’
bracing structure for the Platinum series, positioned
to provide rigidity and integrity. Cabinet bracing is
further enhanced by steel bolts that tie front and
back panels to the ‘pin-hole’ brace and are tightened
to a specific torque in order to tune out undesirable
resonances. Bitumastic damping material is applied
to all internal cabinet walls to produce a heightened
level of resonance damping.
Every last detail
WBT* Platinum signature Binding Pots are
considered to be of the highest quality available.
Precision-machined and plated with pure platinum,
they offer a very low contact resistance and the best
possible reliability. Featuring accurate fine-pitch
adjustment, the terminals are suitable for heavy
duty cables with spade, 4mm plug or bare wire
connections.
To provide a secure contact with the floor,
adjustable spiked feet are used. Machined to the
finest tolerances from high-grade alloy and anodised
to the most exacting standards, the feet accept
‘bullet’ spikes of high-tensile steel, chrome-plated
to a mirror finish. For hard or solid wood flooring,
a non-slip rubber pad is integrated with the foot
design.
