Monolith III Specifications

The MONOLITH III hybrid speaker system consists of a broad-range single element electrostatic transducer integrated with a quick-response woofer. This approach takes maximum

advantage of the positive aspects that	electrostatic transducer element itself,
both technologies have to offer.	an elegantly simple solution.
Dispersion is a controlled 30 degrees.
This was achieved by curving the
