Monitor Audio Silver 100 AV

Silver 100
High output and effortless dynamics make the Silver 100 an ideal choice for medium to large rooms in two-channel stereo or multi-channel application

Silver 100 features a massively powerful 8-inch C-CAM bass/mid driver rigidly fixed into a relatively compact two-way cabinet in a configuration that while relatively traditional by modern standards has a lot to offer. There is no real substitute for big drivers and their relative ease of moving air efficiently. Thus, they can deliver incredible dynamic headroom and bass extension, a feature normally reserved for floorstanding speakers.

A two-way, ported design, the Silver 100 relies on a new, 25 mm C-CAM tweeter made from the brand’s proprietary Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium, and featuring a vented Neo magnet system, to create the cleanest possible highs. The HF unit is coupled with a specially-designed 8-inch bass/mid driver featuring a concave ‘dished’ C-CAM cone profile for incredible levels of damping and improved mid-range clarity. You’ll certainly hear the difference with Silver.

Silver FX
Using two tweeters and a single woofer unit in a slim, wall mountable cabinet means these speakers are tailor-made for home cinema. At the flick of a switch you can also change the sound characteristics from di-pole (diffused) to bi-pole (direct) for the exact type of surround sound you require.

Evolved from the reference quality Platinum models, the Silver FX V2 features DCF (Dynamic Coupling Filter). This replaces the usual, solid coupling of driver and voice coil with a flexible coupling. This helps damp any surplus energy, aiding the precison of sound. The perforated design also helps with cooling and pressure relief - giving enhanced efficiency.

Silver W12
When it comes to producing a cinematic bass that you can truly 'feel', little can beat the combination of a large bass cone and a powerful amp. The Monitor Audio Silver W12 has them both. The ultra long throw bass cone easily moves large accounts of air for a bass response that effortlessly recreates the most dynamic soundtracks and music. Powered by a 500 watt, Class-D digital amp, high power is always available in an instant.

As well as being powerful, the Silver W12 is also highly controlled. Using a C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) cone that's rigid yet light gives a responsive bass. The triple suspended driver gives ideal linearity for perfect control - even when the cone is fully extended.

With Music, Movie and Impact modes you can easily change the characteristics of the subwoofer to match your mood. For the most subtle sound, choose Music. A more dynamic sound is had with the Movie mode, making it ideal for the most intense action movies. If you're in party mode or really don't like the neighbours, then switch to Impact for the most powerful sound possible!

Silver C150
The perfect match for Monitor Audio Silver 50, 100 or 200 speakers, the Monitor Audio Silver C150 Centre excels at its job. The classic dual woofer configuration gives a broad spread of sound without taking up too much space. A sealed cabinet means the speaker works well in 'testing' environments, such as against a wall or inside an AV cabinet.

Designed with the aid of a precision laser scanner from NPL (National Physical Laboratory), the handcrafted cabinets are exceptionally well built. The scanner identified areas of cabinet resonance making the placement of the bracing pin-point accurate. Ultra-low cabinet distortion lets the drive units perform unimpeded, giving you the clearest and most natural sound going.

Available in a wide range of premium real wood veneers and high gloss finishes, the compact Silver C150 Centre looks every bit as good as it sounds, which is especially important when it sits right under your TV. A magnetically attached grille gives a clean appearance when removed - ideal for showing off those hi-tech drive units.
