Gold in every sense of the word.
Gold Series 6G is comprised of six highly-distinctive models. Each of which is crafted to celebrate and exude the distinctiveness and quality of the Gold Series, while adding innovative acoustic technologies that not only move the envelope of performance, but heighten both the quality of the craftsmanship and listening pleasure.
Light, strong, powerful – the perfect piston.
Monitor Audio has been leading the industry in the field of metal driver cone technology for over 40 years. The new Gold Series 6G boasts a totally new metal cone technology in the form of HDT (Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology).
HDT draws on the design of the RDT III cones utilised in Hyphn and the Platinum Series, which consist of a Nomex honeycomb layer sandwiched between Aluminium and Carbon Fibre skins. The new HDT cone employs a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup.
The finest details, delivered.
The result of an extensive development process to refine and achieve even greater performance, the latest generation of Monitor Audio’s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer delivers precise high-frequency sound with greater consistency, clarity and accuracy. The detail achieved makes music sound lifelike, crisp and real. Fine-tuned for effortless musicality.
Impactful, dynamic and controlled bass.
Crossover Design – the purest of signals.
Gold Series 6G’s crossovers have been developed using high-quality capacitors and have undergone hundreds of hours of listening by Monitor Audio’s acoustics team. Many iterations have been repeatedly tested to ensure the smoothest, cleanest audio signal is delivered to each drive unit.
As beautifully finished as luxury furniture
All Gold Series 6G’s cabinets are designed to form the most rigid structure possible, which allows the drivers to perform to their optimum capabilities. Coupled with cleverly calculated geometry, advanced bracing techniques and technically accurate crossovers, the cabinets are an important element of the total system under Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy.
Completed in beautiful, contemporary high-gloss, painted and a new, more sustainable man-made veneer, offering a significant reduction compared to the carbon impact of traditional methods of real-wood veneered production. Gold Series 6G exudes a quality that continues to ensure Monitor Audio retains its reputation as a world leader in speaker cabinet design.
The quality of Gold Series 6G will last a lifetime, just as a beautiful piece of luxury furniture would.
Machined & Die-Cast Aluminium Details
The exquisite quality of the Gold Series 6G is the result of paying close attention to even the smallest details. Carefully conceived and delivered with conviction throughout the design, these details combine to make the whole special. The machined aluminium, anodised driver trims are precise and clean; the delicate shadow gaps around them offer a subtle lift to provide an element of sophistication atop the beautifully veneered wooden or painted cabinets.
Plinth and foot assembly
Providing the most stable platform possible for the Gold Series 6G floorstanding speakers to perform from, cast aluminium outrigger style assemblies with steel bracing allow the user to adjust the speaker level with ease.
A machined magnetic top cap, hides the hex key adjustment – and with a simple twist, the height of the spike or rubber foot (depending on the floor surface) can be adjusted simply to find the perfect level.
