MONITOR AUDIO MONITOR 50: DESIGN AND CONNECTIONS

The cabinet making is simpler and is assembled with less complexity than on superior ranges. Obviously, it is mainly on this point that the manufacturer saved money.

The other components that make up these speakers offer a quality similar to that of the Bronze range, or even identical.

The Monitor 50 are available in a black, white, or walnut vinyl finish.

The Monitor 50 can connect to the amplifier via a single plated gold speaker terminal on the back of the speakers that accepts bare wire or banana plugs.

MONITOR AUDIO MONITOR 50: TWEETER AND LOUDSPEAKER

The tweeter is placed in the upper right corner of the speaker, reducing the size of the cabinet and giving it a unique cubic shape.

The 25mm dome tweeter is exactly the same as the one found in the Bronze range of Monitor Audio. It is gold-plated in C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium). It has continuously received many awards for its qualities of finesse and timbre.

The low midrange is ensured by a superb 13cm woofer with a MMP II driver cone. This woofer is recognizable due to its orange driver cone. Apart from its unquestionable performances, it brings a contemporary style to the Monitor 50.  

The bass/reflex load is ensured by a HiVe II port technology providing a better transient response and tighter bass. Although it is on the back of the Hi-Fi speaker, it has been damped so that you can place your Monitor 50 close to a wall.
