SoundFrame Series
Desire
The SoundFrame range gives you a perfectly minimalist way to energise the choicest of interiors with breathtaking audio.
By blending Monitor Audio’s most imaginative driver and cabinet technologies Monitor Audio have created a miraculously thin loudspeaker that answers the call from interior designers world-wide for an easy way to combine great style with high-impact home entertainment. Having a fraction of the depth of even the smallest conventional speaker, and with a discreet in-wall option, the innovative SoundFrame design will preserve the look of a room while reproducing the pulsating audio quality of Monitor Audio’s world-famous speaker ranges.
Design
SoundFrame is an ultra-discreet loudspeaker available in a choice of three models, each with an on-wall or in-wall option. SF1 has a portrait aspect ratio; SF2, a longer landscaped look, and SF3 is a diminutive square-shaped surround speaker. SoundFrame’s white or black matte cabinet has been developed to sit stylishly around wall-mounted flat screen displays for captivating home theatre sound, or in pairs as part of a high-quality music system.
Frames pre-prepared in high gloss black/white piano lacquer or primed* for your choice of colour, help SoundFrame speakers to co-ordinate beautifully with every room design. For the complete custom effect choose a complementary or contrasting grille colour or image from Monitor Audio’s Grille Gallery, (page 8) or why not have your OWN image printed onto your grilles, for the ultimate custom effect. Such versatility means the SoundFrame models can make a striking statement to compliment your décor or utilise their chameleon-like ability to blend in, despite their performance being anything but discreet.
Dynamic
Monitor Audio have utilised their most advanced driver technologies to raise the quality of on-wall speaker performance. Music and film sound, rich in detail and dynamic impact, is delivered by a true 3-way full-range driver configuration featuring a pivoting Inverted Dual Concentric (IDC®) 4-inch mid-range/1-inch tweeter module and a 6.5-inch C-CAM ® bass driver (SF1 & SF2). The innovative IDC module is able to pivot in all directions allowing you to precisely direct crucial frequencies toward the listening area for greater detail, imaging, and fidelity. At the same time sound is directed away from room boundaries, eliminating the unnecessary reflections that can cloud performance. Conventional speakers do not possess this level of control. The drivers, including the large high-power bass speaker, feature advanced RST® cone technology, developed by Monitor Audio for Monitor Audio’s flagship speakers. RST’s surface topology adds rigidity and strength but keeps the cone light and agile for a super-fast life-like response. Having been designed for covert surround sound duties, the little SF3 SoundFrame model employs a specialised two-way system of four” MMP® II bass driver and pivoting one” C-CAM tweeter, custom-tuned for the role. Despite its very modest proportions, SF3’s technology is refined to deliver the wider bandwidth and greater audio detail required to blend beautifully with other SoundFrame speakers in a potent but deliciously discreet surround sound system.
You’ll enjoy the rhythmic wideband fidelity of SoundFrame systems in any room, but if any high frequency ‘boost’ or ‘cut’ is required to meet personal taste or to adjust for room acoustics in softly furnished or hard reflective spaces, the high frequency switch on both SF1 and SF2 models will raise or lower levels by 3dB.
Discrete
For the finest blend with décor and the latest ultra-thin wall-mounted TVs, the SoundFrame in-wall (i-W) models offer an easy, elegant way to conceal the entire cabinet in a wall cavity.
In technology and performance the three in-wall models are identical to their on-wall versions but achieve the ultimate flush-fitted look. Prefixed brackets and a redesigned surround facilitate the appearance of a hanging photo frame, which is possible only by mounting in-wall.
SoundFrame’s i-W design is quick and easy to install. The unit simply slides into the wall cavity and is secured on four pre-fixed corner brackets. The high-gloss lacquer frame clips into place, concealing the corner fixings for a super-clean union with décor, just 19mm from the wall. As with the on-wall SoundFrame models, the connecting cable runs in the wall cavity, enters from the back, and is connected at the front to provide the essential wire-free look.
Definitive
Whether on-wall or in-wall, an ingeniously easy front connection system allows for uncomplicated installation in three steps.
