Monitor Audio PL100 STAND Platinum series, Owner'S Manual

Cabinet Construction
The cabinets are constructed using exquisite real wood veneers* applied to MDF-ply
laminates shaped to form a rigid one piece shell. Internally, the sides are non-regular,
preventing the formation of standing waves. Monitor Audio has developed a uniquely
engineered ‘pin-hole’ internal bracing structure for the Platinum series, positioned to
provide rigidity and integrity with minimum air movement resistance. Cabinet bracing is
further enhanced by high tensile steel bolts that tie front and back panels to the ‘pin-hole’
brace which are tightened to a specific torque in order to tune out un-desirable resonances.
Bitumastic damping material is applied to all internal cabinet walls to provide a further
level of resonance damping.
Every Last Detail
WBT Platinum Signature contact terminals are considered to be of the highest
quality available. Precision-machined and plated with pure platinum, they provide very low
contact resistance and the best possible reliability. They feature accurate fine-pitch
adjustment and are suitable for heavy duty cables with spade, 4mm plug or bare
wire connection.
To provide secure, yet minimal contact with the floor, adjustable spiked feet are used.
Machined to the finest tolerances from high-grade alloy and anodized to the most
exacting standards, the feet accept ‘bullet’ spikes of high tensile steel, chrome-plated to
a mirror finish. A non-slip rubber pad is integrated within the foot design, when sited on
hard or solid wood flooring.
*Except for the Piano Black Lacquer finish.
