Monitor Audio Studio Standmount Bookshelf Speaker

The new Monitor Audio Studio Standmount Bookshelf Speakers are sure to be a stunning addition to any room. With technologies from Monitor Audio’s esteemed Platinum II series, these new speakers will produce a truly high-end listening experience that is sure to impress even the most demanding of audiophiles.

Due to the grille-less design, this speaker will ensure clear and true voice reproduction and leaves the drivers exposed; creating an aesthetically pleasing design and ensuring these speakers remain a focal point in any room that they are placed in. Two metallic-silver RDT II speaker cones within the speakers will deliver an excellent, high-end performance, and the honeycomb tweeter cover adds that touch of contemporary class to the speaker’s overall appearance. The bespoke solid-metal logo at the base of the cabinet is just the cherry on top of an altogether stunning pair of speakers.

Drivers

The Studio Bookshelf Speakers feature modified versions of the 4” drivers found within the Platinum PL500 II speakers. Producing a sound that is clear and natural, these speakers will also provide a deep bass response with plenty of mid-range detail. 

These drivers have been designed to ensure extremely low levels of distortion, incorporating the same magnetic design principles and construction materials as the Platinum speaker range. A Micro Pleated Diaphragm (MPD) high-frequency transducer will work in the same way as a super-fast accordion, rapidly squeezing the pleats and producing a smooth, wide, naturally fast response all the way through the ultra-sonic band. This will result in a sound that is much more lifelike, releasing the high harmonic spectrum of each and every not, completely devoid of any of the distortion that would otherwise blur definition.

Design and Mechanics

The Monitor Audio Studio’s cabinet has been tuned using two rear-mounted HiVe II ports at the top and the bottom of the cabinet. The dual ports will enable pressure inside the cabinet to remain symmetrically balanced, ensuring there is no turbulence or subsequent air noise. The HiVe II technology included will work to ensure air moves in and out of the Studio’s cabinet much faster than you would see in a more conventional port. This will result in fast and powerful bass, coupled with a transient response that remains superior when compared to other similar models.

These speakers incorporate high-grade polypropylene film capacitors, air-core and laminated steel-core inductors in order to preserve the purest possible signal integrity. The purist electrical chain within the speakers is coupled with a pair of precisely machined terminals that have previously been developed for the Platinum series. These terminals are rhodium plated and, as such, provide the lowest possible contact resistance and long-term consistency.

Surrounded and clamped by a rigid die-cast aluminium sub-baffle, the drivers remain rigid and sturdy. The mechanical structure of the Monitor Audio Studio Standmount Bookshelf Speakers has been enhanced even further thanks to the bolt-through driver technology included in order to provide the cabinet with the most reliable bracing.
