The Monitor Audio Platinum C250 3G is the company’s ultimate centre speaker and delivers the last word in home cinema dialogue.
Central control The perfect match for the company’s Platinum 3G speaker range, the Platinum C250 3G is a reference quality centre speaker. Although not the most compact centre speaker, its larger dimensions mean a weighty, dynamic sound that easily keeps pace with the other Platinum speakers – including the mighty Platinum 300 3Gs (that make outstanding front speakers). A sealed speaker cabinet ensures easy placement in a confined space, such as in a cabinet or on a shelf, without restricting the sound quality.
The Platinum standard Standing at the top of Monitor Audio’s impressive speaker range, the Platinum 3G series is their magnum opus. Everything that Monitor Audio has developed over many decades of speaker manufacturing is refined to the highest standards, making the Platinum 3G range a true reference from which to judge others.
Ultimate top-end performance For the ultimate in treble response, the Platinum range features Monitor Audio’s premium a MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) tweeter. Working by squeezing the pleats, like a super-fast accordion, gives the treble a sensational response – right up to a stratospheric 60,000Hz. What this means is you get totally uncompressed harmonics for a spacious and lifelike top-end performance. Simply put, if it’s on the recording, these speakers will reveal it.
Dedicated midrange As a 3-way speaker, the Platinum C250 3G features a drive unit dedicated to the midrange. With a 3-layer, aluminium and carbon fibre hybrid cone, the RDT III (Rigid Diaphragm Technology) delivers absolute cone precision and the lowest levels of distortion. Ideal in a centre speaker, this high level of resolution means you hear dialogue clearly – even when the drama surrounding it is intense.
Dynamic bass response Featuring powerful motor systems with extra-large magnets, the Platinum C250 G3’s bass hits hard for a centre speaker. Highly rigid driver chassis’ ensure the cone is held with absolute precision, further reducing the potential for distortion. Twin, long-throw woofers mean that the bass response isn’t just tight and dynamic is also deep enough to carry the weight of an action soundtrack between the front speakers. This ensures seamless sound, especially when used with matching Platinum 3G speakers.
Choice of sumptuous finishes Matching the peerless sound quality is the luxurious finish. Choose between luxurious Piano Ebony or Piano Black in high gloss finishes, or the lighter hue of Pure Satin White. All three sumptuous colourways are finished to the highest standard, with no fewer than 16 layers of lacquer on the gloss models. As a finishing touch, the cabinet is further embellished with etched inlays to highlight the craftsmanship.
For the very best in home cinema dialogue, take a listen to the Monitor Audio Platinum C250 3G.
