Monitor Audio Radius 45

Features

Applications: The Monitor Audio Radius 45 satellite loudspeaker is perfect for discrete sound around your home, or partnered with a Radius powered sub (sold separately) for big stereo sound, or used as surround and surround back speakers in your home theater.

Two-Way Speaker Design: The Monitor Audio Radius 45 features a two-way speaker design with one rear-firing 3/4" C-CAM gold dome tweeter and one front-firing 3" MMP II cone woofer. The tweeter is rear-firing to enhance sound dispersion characteristics. The tweeter and woofer share similar audible consistency producing a smooth transition of frequencies and a sense of realism and cohesion in the soundstage.

• C-CAM Gold-Dome Tweeter: The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy, gold anodized to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modeling 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.
• Metal Matrix Polymer (MMP II) Woofer: Metal Matrix Polymer driver cones have a polypropylene diaphragm injected with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimize stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.

Note: The Radius 45 incorporates a thermal protection device, which helps to protect the woofer and tweeter from permanent damage.

Single Through-Bolt Mount: The tweeter and woofer are fixed to the cabinet with a single through-bolt driver fixing mount. This single-through-bolt mount design provides mechanical de-coupling and enhanced midband clarity and resolution. The through-bolts also act as rigid cross bracing to give a very solid non-resonant cabinet.

Stylish Cabinet: The Monitor Audio Radius 45 features a beautiful precision cabinet in a gloss black, satin white, or walnut finish. The cabinet's smooth rounded edges, silver trim, and metal mesh grille add to the style and look of the speaker.

Gold-Plated Binding Posts: The Radius 45 is fitted with gold-plated binding post speaker terminals that will accept bare wire (up 12AWG), pin-connectors, spade connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual).

Mounting Options: Self adhesive rubber feet are provided to prevent movement due to vibration when using the Radius 45 loudspeakers on a table, shelf, or stand. And thanks to its rear-panel 1/4"-20 threaded insert, the Radius 45 can also be fixed to a wall using an optional wall-mount bracket (sold separately).
