Product Information
”It quickly becomes clear that the Gold 300 possesses formidable hi-fi smarts.” ’Hi-Fi Choice’ – Editor’s Choice.
Strike gold
Now in their fifth generation, the Monitor Audio Gold speakers represent a reference standard in sound and style. Cutting-edge technology derived from the Platinum II range keeps these speakers at the top of their class. MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) tweeters deliver exceptional detail that’s backed up by lifelike mid-range and bass from the hybrid woofer cones. On top of this class-leading sound comes stunning style and finish, which just leaves you to decide the ideal size and colour.
Ultimate 300
As Gold-Series flagship, the 300 models stand tall. Ideal for larger rooms and superb as the front speakers in a high-end home cinema system, the Gold 300s make an ultimate choice. Despite their powerful, immersive sound, a distance of just 30 - 45cm from the rear wall is required for optimum sound. With many speakers this size, that figure can be more like a metre, making these highly convenient and room-friendly, as big speakers go.
MPD treble unit for stunning top-end resolution
Derived from the flagship Platinum range, MPD tweeters use a Micro Pleated Diaphragm to deliver stunning top-end detail. By pleating the tweeter’s shape, the surface area is increased eight-fold. Working by squeezing the pleats, like a super-fast accordion, gives the treble an incredible response – right up to 50,000Hz. What this means is you get uncompressed harmonics for a spacious and life-like top-end performance.
Mighty power
Using RDT II (Rigid Diaphragm Technology), the twin 8 inch woofer units deliver effortless power and dynamic range. Constructed from a hybrid sandwich of Nomex and woven carbon fibre, they deliver the ideal balance of lightness and rigidity. This means they respond with alacrity to every note – helping to give a clean, tight bass that’s every bit as crisp as it is powerful.
Magical mid-range
As a 3-way design, the Gold 300 features a woofer dedicated to the mid-range. What this means is exceptional resolution – just where you need it for vocals to sound their very best. A whole host of other instruments, from guitars to pianos also operate mainly in the mid-range, meaning this dedicated driver is crucial in making the musicians sound like they’re ‘there’ in the room with you.
Premium cabinet design
Featuring Monitor Audio’s exclusive HiVe II port technology, the Gold 300 efficiently manages airflow for a tighter bass and cleaner-sounding midrange. The cabinets also feature soft touch top trim and magnetic grilles for the premium style you’d expect from Monitor Audio’s Gold speaker range.
Choice of luxurious finishes
Once you’ve decided on these speakers, the hardest part is choosing which of the sumptuous finishes to pick. Choose Dark Walnut or Piano Ebony for a rich, traditional style or Piano Gloss Black or Satin White for a more contemporary appeal. Whichever colour you choose, you can be guaranteed Monitor Audio’s usual immaculate fit and finish.
Hear every note, with the Monitor Audio Gold 300.
