Rome Wasn’t Built in A Day. Neither Was Monitor.

It took three emperors and 15 years to build Rome’s colosseum, architecture that still elicits awe centuries later. And while we’re not so bold as to compare the colosseum to the new Series 7, you have to admit the speakers look more than a little awesome in the backdrop of Ancient Rome. Good architecture will stand up well over time, as will good sonic architecture. Our Monitor Series 7 is a classic example. Now in its seventh iteration, each new generation is an opportunity for refinement: design innovations from our higher-priced reference lineups, reference-quality component parts, cabinets and even finishes! When it comes to getting value for your money, it doesn’t get better than Monitor Series 7. Since its inception, the Monitor Series has been a favorite of audiophiles on a budget — with Series 7, that hasn’t changed.

We can’t promise it will still be around in two thousand years, but we can promise it will play louder, plumb deeper, look smarter and sound better than any other brand in its price range.

The Building Blocks: Monitor Drivers

Advanced S-Pal™ Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Bass/Midrange Cones. First seen in our Paradigm Reference lineup, very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and outstanding internal damping. The result? Remarkable midrange clarity, superb extended bass response and freedom from unwanted resonances and distortions. In an affordable audio category – unbelieveable quality!

Advanced Carbon-Infused Injection-Molded Polypropylene Bass Cones. The high mineral content and injection-molding process have created a durable and rigid cone with affords us bragging rights for cone consistency and repeatability.

Advanced S-Pal™ Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes with powerful neodymium magnets and ferro-fluid cooling for increased power handling! Highs are more soaring and spacious, crystal clear and undiluted even at the higher bandwidths.

Wire Mesh Tweeter Guard and WaveGuide™. More Reference technology, ensuring a smooth, wide panorama of audiophile-quality sound. Wire mesh protection for the pure-aluminum tweeter.

Sophisticated crossovers in an affordable audiophile product! Again, it’s almost unheard of: polypropylene film or bipolar electrolytic capacitors, air core and laminated core inductors, high-power resistors. Crossover topologies are first and second-order with corresponding acoustic slopes of second and third-order providing optimal bandwidth and seamless integration as drivers cross over.

Long-Travel Motor/Magnet Structures. Despite fewer drivers than in previous series’, floorstanding and center channel speakers actually plumb deeper. This is, in part, attributable to the advanced motor/magnet structures: high-temperature copper or aluminum wire voice coils (varies by model) wound on Kapton formers, oversized magnets with all components FEA-optimized.

Foam-Rubber Elastomer Surrounds. Reference Studio Series geometry!
Help achieve that play loud AND play deep effect by allowing longer, expertly controlled cone travel.

Baffled about Baffles? Don’t Be!

For those of you who are wondering. A baffle is the surface on which the speakers or drivers are mounted. It prevents the front and rear sound waves from interfering with each other causing sound cancellation, as well as to absorb sound energy, particularly problematic reflected sound. So a speaker baffle is pretty darn important.

The new Monitor Series 7 baffle is a work of art – worthy of a spot in the arches of a colosseum. It boasts …

A clean aesthetic, nothing to see but the the beautiful drivers, no screws or fasteners visible

• Thick and rigid ¾˝ MDF across the lineup
• FEA-optimized (including a stress analysis) to overcome the limitations of the physical materials.
• A modal frequency analysis allowed us to deliver the most resonance-, vibration- and coloration-free Monitor Series cabinet to date!
• Critically tuned to the rest of the cabinet
• Rap on the baffle … you’ll hurt nothing but your knuckles!

羅馬不是一天建成的，Montior也是。.

經歷三任皇帝，15年所建成的羅馬鬥獸場，幾個世紀以後，後人依然歎為觀止。我們無意冒犯，將Monitor第七代與羅馬角鬥場比較，就像好建築經得起歲月的磨難依然屹立，好聲音建築也一樣。Paradigm的Monitor 7系列就是典型的例子，現在是它已是第七代。每一代都是一個機會去微調達到聲學完美，包括來自我們更高價位的Reference產品線的設計創新：Reference級品質的元件、Reference級品質的箱體、甚至是Reference級品質的貼面顏色！Monitor系列自成立以來，它的預算是最深受音樂發燒友所喜愛的，這一點從未改變。

我們不能保證它能存在兩千年，但我們可以保證它會比同類的任何產品唱得更響、潛得更深、看著更靚、聽著更好！

積木：Monitor 驅動程式

先進的S-PAL™純鋁低音/中音振膜。這是出現在我們的Paradigm Reference陣容中，極高的剛性品質比和出色的內部阻尼。結果呢？中音清晰顯著，精湛的延伸低音回應和沒有有害的共振和失真。在負擔得起的音響類品質，這簡直不可思議！

先進的礦物質滲入聚丙烯低音振膜。礦物質含量高的注塑成型過程，形成了耐用和堅硬振膜，使我們有底氣自誇膜的一致性和可重複性。

先進的S-PAL™純鋁球頂高音，配備強勁的釹磁鐵和鐵液冷卻增加功率處理！高音飆升，更寬敞、更清澈、更柔和順暢、延展出色。

金屬網格高音防護和WaveGuide™波導技術：更多的Reference技術，以確保平穩、高保真品質的聲音。金屬網格防護，保護了鋁膜球頂免受物理損傷

負擔得起的高保真產品精緻的工藝，它幾乎是聞所未聞：聚丙烯薄膜或雙極性電解電容，空芯和疊片鐵芯電感，高功率電阻。交叉佈局與相應的聲場，為了提供第二次和第三次最佳的音訊寬度和無縫集成，迅速越過第一階和第二階。

長衝程電機/磁鐵結構。儘管比之前的系列，落地式和中置揚聲器實際上下潛更深的驅動較少，這個部分歸功於先進的電動機/磁鐵結構：高溫銅或鋁線音圈（因型號而異）聚醯亞胺成形有限元分析優化所有元件，超大磁鐵。

發泡橡膠彈性體周圍。Reference Studio系列元件！ 説明實現聲源發揮響亮，起到深遠的影響，從而獲得更大空間發揮振膜。

莫名其妙的擋板？當然不是！

誰都知道，擋板是附于在揚聲器單元表面上的。它可以防止干擾對方造成聲音抵消，以及前部和後部聲波吸收聲音的能量，特別是有問題的反射音。因此，一個揚聲器的擋板是相當重要的。

Monitor系列的擋板簡直就是一件藝術品，就像是鬥獸場的拱門，它擁有：

非常簡潔的外觀，看似簡單，卻透露出精緻之美，完全看不到螺絲或緊固件。

• 厚而硬3/4密度板。
• 有限元分析優化（包括應力分析），以克服物理材料的限制。
• 模態頻率分析，使其能夠提供最佳共振，振動和著色顯示器系列櫃日期！
