This really is the last word in installed performance, featuring an RDT III bass driver, an IDC II midrange driver, and an IDC II tweeter with UD Waveguide II. This combination ensures levels of acoustic transparency and detail found in Monitor Audio’s premium loudspeaker ranges, where much of this acoustic technology was developed.

As a Controlled Performance (CP) model, it is fitted with a fully sealed back box that provides an ideal air load for the drivers, optimising mid-range and bass performance while maintaining sonic consistency regardless of interior wall construction.
