Cabinet construction

The cabinets are of multiple laminations of wood veneer in a rigid plywood-type construction shaped to form a one piece shell. Internally, the sides are non-regular, preventing the formation of standing waves, which undermine the accuracy of the system. Monitor Audio has developed a unique ‘pin-hole’ bracing structure for the Platinum series, positioned to provide rigidity and integrity. Cabinet bracing is further enhanced by steel bolts that tie front and back panels to the ‘pin-hole’ brace and are tightened to a specific torque in order to tune out undesirable resonances. Bitumastic damping material is applied to all internal cabinet walls to produce a heightened level of resonance damping.

Every last detail

WBT* Platinum signature Binding Pots are considered to be of the highest quality available. Precision-machined and plated with pure platinum, they offer a very low contact resistance and the best possible reliability. Featuring accurate fine-pitch adjustment, the terminals are suitable for heavy duty cables with spade, 4mm plug or bare wire connections.

To provide a secure contact with the floor, adjustable spiked feet are used. Machined to the finest tolerances from high-grade alloy and anodised to the most exacting standards, the feet accept ‘bullet’ spikes of high-tensile steel, chrome-plated to a mirror finish. For hard or solid wood flooring, a non-slip rubber pad is integrated with the foot design.
