MONITOR AUDIO BRONZE SERIES – MADE FOR YOU
Monitor Audio officially launched the 6th generation of its award-winning Bronze Series of loudspeakers. The new speakers have received a complete upgrade in both sound and build quality to give a performance to remember.
The Bronze Series features a new Uniform Dispersion Waveguide which combines with Monitor Audio’s signature C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter to give even sound dispersion, improved time alignment and wider directivity for a more lifelike listening experience.
The unique, acoustically transparent hexagonal dispersion patterns on the tweeter covers give Bronze a premium feel and allow light to catch the distinctive gold tweeter domes behind the grilles. Gold-plated terminals and Pureflow silver-plated oxygen-free copper internal cabling offer secure cable connectivity.
The fresh cabinet designs have clean and simple lines and are available in a choice of four contemporary finishes. Sleek contrasting baffles and matching magnetic cloth-covered grilles provide an understated appearance.
Since its first launch two decades ago, the multi award-winning Bronze Series has set the standard as a class leader and today there are thousands of satisfied owners across the globe.
With a choice of eight models, including Monitor Audio’s first Dolby Atmos® enabled module, the Bronze Series has been designed to please any music or movie lover. The attractive styling and choice of finishes ensure that the speakers will complement any room in the home.
