Monitor Audio's Sound Frame range prove that speakers can really look as good as they sound. Don't believe us? Come and listen to them for yourself in our showroom.
You may have heard of flat speakers, but have you listened to them? None has the detailed full-range performance or the design heritage of a Monitor Audio SoundFrame speaker. To create the phenomenal SoundFrame range engineers found a way to build Monitor Audio's famously natural sound quality into an ultra-slender cabinet just 87mm (3.5") deep.
The cabinet in matt white or black fits absolutely flush to the wall, the design idea is perfect to compliment todays super slim TV wall mounts.The connecting cable runs in the wall cavity, enters from the back and is connected to the front for a seamless wire-free look and unique installation convenience.
Match the cabinet with room décor from a choice of exquisite high gloss white or black piano lacquered frames, or by applying your own colour to a white primed frame. For the most precise coordination, invest a little more and choose from our exclusive range of printed grille cloth designs.
SoundFrame SF2’s proportions are more akin to a longer centre channel type speaker for visual harmony with thin TVs or projection screens. It can also be used ‘in portrait’ to flank larger displays. With such a versatile choice of frame and colour options available, the SoundFrame models are designed to blend perfectly with any interior and precision engineered to replace your old speakers with the most discreet high-performance music and movie system you've ever seen or heard.
The really unique aspect of the Monitor Audio SoundFrame SF1 speakers is the ability to customise the grille cloth with several pre-determined colours, photographs or abstract designs. Better still, you can customise the cloth with a photograph or art design of your own. Download the grilles options brochure to browse the readily available prints or call us to discuss using your own artwork.
The following three options below are available for an additional cost, please call for full details.
The SoundFrame grille cloth can also be chosen from a selection of colours besides the standard black and white cloths.
The SoundFrame grille cloth can be customised with photographs or abstract art designs chosen from the grille options brochure
Using a or a high-resolution image of your own choice, the SoundFrame grille cloth can be customised to your very own design or photographs
The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats. The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.
The in-ceiling and in-wall LCR models employ a unique pivoting Inverted Dual Concentric midrange/tweeter module offering up to 18 degrees of play. This allows for the speakers to be discreetly positioned and the sound to be directed toward the listening zone by pivoting the IDC driver module to maximize performance. With the IDC module installed, these architectural speakers become true 3-way designs, offering superior performance and flexibility over typical 2-way or fixed angle speakers. Within the proprietary IDC module an inverted 4" midrange driver provides superior dispersion while enabling the midrange cone and tweeter dome assembly to be set as far forward as possible, allowing a clear acoustic 'sighting' of the desired listening zone and reducing undesirable diffraction effects. It's impossible to avoid diffraction effects from conventional two-way designs, which locate the bass driver 75mm (3") to 150mm (6") behind the speaker grille.
The Rigid Surface Technology (RST) cone profile is inspired by the Japanese art of Origami, which demonstrates how a very light material (like paper) can be strengthened and made more rigid by making small and precise folds on its surface. Monitor Audio has applied this principle in designing the CAM/RST cones for the GX and RX ranges. Developed and perfected using sophisticated computer modelling (Finite Element Analysis), the GX mid and bass driver cones have been strengthened by a series of radial ribs; the RX driver cones by a pattern of dimples. Our simulations have proved that RST significantly increases cone rigidity, allowing the radiating surfaces to resist mechanical bending forces, which can twist the shape of conventional driver cones to produce distorted sound. The strengthening effect of RST means that we can use thinner, lighter and more responsive C-CAM cones, which provide speed and accuracy while offering greatly reduced distortion. The RST patterns also help to displace standing waves that can propagate on the cone's surface.
