Installation guide

200 Series

The 200 Series models utilise C-CAM® bass drivers and a higher spec version of the C-CAM® gold dome tweeter. These mod- els offer higher grade performance, and greater flexibility.

The renowned C-CAM® (Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium alloy) cone maximises the potential of the driver mechanism. C-CAM® is an innovative alloy material that exhibits ideal mechanical properties for use in high performance loudspeaker cones and diaphragms.

The pivoting tweeter is based on Monitor Audio’s famous 25mm gold C-CAM® dome. Improvements to the surround and motor system have extended the frequency response to beyond 30 kHz, so that it is ready to exploit digital cinema and audio formats.

For the LCR models a unique Inverted Dual Concentric (IDCTM) pivoting mid-range/tweeter module provides up to 18 degrees of movement, allowing the sound to be directed towards the desired listening zone. These models offer superior performance and flexibility over typical 2-way or fixed angle speaker designs.

The high frequency level control together with boundary compensation control facilitates a wider range of possible adjustments. See page 3.
