Introduction
Monitor Audio’s new Gold series of loudspeakers combine premium audio technology with class-leading
build quality to deliver a compelling hi-fi and home cinema listening experience. For the first time, the Gold
Series features the technology used in Monitor Audio’s flagship Platinum II series to deliver a pure high-end
performance.
The Monitor Audio team have used their years of audio design experience to reduce distortion in the Gold
Series to an absolute minimum, and to ensure the sound delivered is as clear and articulate as possible,
whilst being smooth and easy on the ear. The new Gold speakers represent a full redesign and the drivers
used in the Platinum series have been especially re-developed, honed and refined.
A single bookshelf model, two floor-standers, single centre speaker, subwoofer and rear/ FX speakers
completes the new range. The Gold series is designed for the demanding listener looking for speakers with
high-end credentials and a stunning appearance.
The beautifully designed cabinets are available in dark walnut and ebony real wood veneer plus piano gloss
black or satin white finishes. The rounded vertical edges of the cabinets combine with the sharp profile of
the horizontal lines to give a classic and timeless appearance. A leather soft touch top panel trim (on the
bookshelf and floor standing speakers) is soft to the touch and adds a further premium appeal to the Gold
series. All cabinets are heavy and well damped with extensive bracing, augmented by Monitor Audio’s
renowned single bolt through drivers that allow a pure appearance.
