Each  pair  of  Platinum  loudspeakers  is  an  original 

work  of  art.  Monitor  Audio’s  cabinet  makers  hand 

select uniquely matching sets of exotic natural wood 

veneer  in  Santos  Rosewood  or  Ebony  for  every  pair. 

The  veneers  are  applied  by  hand  after  the  cabinet 

is  made  to  ensure  that  the  grain  match  is  precise 

and  that  no  joints  are  visible.  After  meticulous 

inspection, no fewer than eleven layers of clear gloss 

piano  lacquer  are  applied  to  enhance  the  exquisite 

grain definition and rich variety of colour within each 

veneer.

The  front  baffles  are  hand-upholstered  using 

Strathspey  leather  supplied  by  Andrew  Muirhead. 

Strathspey’s  natural  leather  is  of  the  very  highest 

quality  and  is  associated  with  many  respected 

British  brands  from  the  furniture,  automotive  and 

marine industries. It conveys a tactile sense of luxury 

which  blends  with  the  lustrous  beauty  of  Platinum’s 

lacquered  veneer  finishes  to  impart  an  immediate 

impression of excellence in any room, however lavish 

its décor.

Platinum  promises  a  depth  of  beauty,  quality  and 

performance  that  will  inspire  an  intense  pride  of 

ownership in lovers of music and design.
