Monitor Audio - Gold 50 6G Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

When Every Detail Matters: Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G Bookshelf Speakers Tout Gorgeous Looks, Excellent Craftsmanship, Trickle-Down Technologies, Versatile Proportions, and Engaging Sound

The Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G bookshelf speakers know every detail matters. Think that's exaggeration? Just take a look at the meticulous machined-aluminum anodized driver trims and delicate shadow gaps around them, which offer a subtle lift to provide elegant sophistication in coordination with the beautiful cabinetry. Even better, sit down and listen to this marvelous two-way, and savor the finesse, accuracy, neutrality, and scale with which it plays. Even given its modest, supremely flexible 12.625 x 7.3125 x 11.9375-inch proportions. Indeed, the smallest model in the Gold 6G Series shares all the important DNA of its larger siblings.

It starts with an MDP III high-frequency transducer and six-inch HDT C-CAM mid-bass driver, cutting-edge developments found in the company's Hyphn and Platinum Series. Specifically, the HDT cones that consist of a Nomex honeycomb layer sandwiched between aluminum and carbon-fiber skins. They also use a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup. And complementary C-CAM cones harbor strong, fatigue-resistant elements.

The Gold 50 6G cones' extensive voice coil length translates into exceptional linearity, reducing distortion for cleaner and punchier low end. Rigidly secured in place by a cast-aluminum, lightweight chassis, it provides the optimum structure with generous airflow around the drive unit. Through-bolted to the rear of the cabinet for improved strength of the overall system, the drive units produce masses of deep bass with low distortion and across-the-board control. The end result is a seamless link from low bass through the frequency range to mid and upper frequencies. Aided by a finely engineered crossover with high-end capacitors, the driver blends smoothly with the MPD III high-frequency transducer — devised for consistency, clarity, and accuracy — for a presentation that reveals the crucial details and lively excitement in your recordings.

As for its appearance? The 18.75-pound Gold 50 6G steals the center stage in any room. Finished in either contemporary high-gloss or sustainable veneer, its cabinet epitomizes luxury. And its ported design uses a HiVe II port and through-bolt technologies. Complete with a five-year manufacturer warranty, Gold 50 6G features a  44Hz-60kHz frequency response and simply needs a quality amplifier to drive it.

New HDT, C-CAM Cones
Monitor Audio has been leading the industry in the field of metal driver cone technology for over 40 years. So, it’s no surprise that the new Gold Series 6G pushes the boundaries once again, with a totally new metal cone technology in the form of HDT (Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology). HDT draws on the design of the RDT III cones utilized in Hyphn and the Platinum Series, which consist of a Nomex honeycomb layer sandwiched between aluminum and carbon-fiber skins. The new HDT cone employs a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup, which shifts the frequency up by 10% compared to the RST II cones on the Silver Series 7G. The use of C-CAM over standard aluminum also results in a stronger, more fatigue-resistant cone.

Six- and Eight-Inch Bass Drivers
With the new HDT, C-CAM cone, FEA-optimized surround and spider designs, plus increased voice coil length, the Gold Series 6G’s six- and eight-inch bass drivers exhibit great linearity, reducing distortion for cleaner and punchier low end. Rigidly secured in place by a new cast aluminum, light-weight chassis design, it provides the optimum structure with generous airflow around the drive unit. Gold Series 6G drive units produce masses of dynamic bass with low distortion and total control.

MPD III High-Frequency Transducer
The result of an extensive development process to refine and achieve superb performance, the latest generation of Monitor Audio’s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer delivers precise high-frequency sound with breathtaking consistency, clarity, and accuracy. The detail achieved makes music sound lifelike, crisp, and real. Fine-tuned for effortless musicality.
