Award-Winning Performance
The Bronze 50 7G won a top rating of Five Stars from England's What Hi-Fi? magazine. Kashfia Kabir calls them "bold, impressive performers."
"Monitor Audio has done a terrific job with the new Bronze 50 7G standmounts. The high build quality and elegant finish are excellent, and their sound quality proves they are more than just a pretty face."
"Their clarity and precision, coupled with a great sense of rhythm, all combine to deliver an exciting, confident presentation that demands your attention and offers quite the battle for its price rivals. These are very capable standmounts for the money and are worth an audition."
"A Big Win for Monitor Audio"
"This feels like a big win for Monitor Audio," observes reviewer Marc at av.com, January 8, 2025.
"The new Bronze series feels like a natural maturing of the range, taking an already winning formula and tightening it up (crossing some Ts, dotting some Is). There’s not a huge amount of surprise here, but I can definitely see the Bronze 7G range establishing itself comfortably in the market and filling the gap left by the outgoing generation."
"The tweeter tweaks are another subtle win, helping to broaden the soundstage and bring the Bronze range a little closer in spirit to the Silver series, particularly in terms of openness and scale."
"A Better Speaker Than Anything We Had at This Level"
"It was readily apparent that this was simply a better speaker than anything we had at this level – the finish, sound and value all came together, and we’ve never looked backwards since," notes totallywired.nz.
"But more importantly, it’s the continual improvements made by Monitor Audio over their entire range that have kept us on board. This is the sound of progress."
A True Class-Leader That's as Affordable as it is Refined
Monitor Audio's Bronze Series 7G is a captivating class-leader that's as affordable as it is refined. Packed full of the latest acoustic technologies, Bronze is the starting point to high-fidelity.
Enriched with the DNA of every Bronze Series that has gone before, expertly refined, developed and enhanced, the Bronze Series 7G combines outstanding performance and contemporary design panache. It is the entry point to authentic high-fidelity sound.
With five carefully crafted models, each raising the bar within this entry-level segment, the series features new acoustic technologies, cabinet designs, and stereo and AV options. It will continue to cement Monitor Audio Bronze's reputation as the rightful starting point for anyone wishing to experience true high-fidelity audio.
New C-CAM Cone Drive Unit
At the heart of Bronze Series 7G is the C-CAM drive unit, delivering the sonic authority expected from a high- fidelity speaker system of this caliber.
A staple of all Monitor Audio Speakers, this metal cone material is lightweight, more resilient to bending forces, and therefore, supremely strong and piston like in its movement. It graces all bass-mid, mid-drivers and high frequency tweeters used within Bronze Series 7G for total performance.
C-CAM is extremely rigid compared to other more conventional driver materials. It’s pistonic-like movement ensures more control, precision and reduced distortion. C-CAM tweeters and drivers share an audible consistency producing a smooth transition of frequencies and a sense of realism and cohesion in the soundstage.
Controlled, Punchy Articulate Bass
Below the smooth metallic surface of the Bronze Series 7G C-CAM drivers are powerful motor systems. Carefully designed to provide a responsiveness, agility and power to deliver high-fidelity music and movie playback, the Bronze Series 7G utilizes a new progressive spider design to improve excursion linearity.
Larger voice coils are also deployed – from 25mm on the Bronze Series 6th Generation to 28.5mm on the 7th generation. This provides far more bass extension and enables greater power handling, for controlled, punchy articulate bass.
New C-CAM Bass-Mid Driver for a Deeper Experience of Listening
The Bronze Series 7G C-CAM bass-mid drivers cover the most important audio frequencies within the sound spectrum. These cover frequencies emitted by musical instruments and most significantly, the human voice.
It is therefore fitting that the Bronze Series 7G utilizes a bass-mid driver design that features large magnets and voice coil, giving Bronze Series 7G much higher power handling, high sensitivity and thus delivers far greater control and more accurate time responses.
What this means is that movie soundtracks from the quietest, to the most dynamic passages, or delicate string to powerful bombastic music passages are delivered with total realism and neutrality, giving the listener a deeper experience of listening.
New C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter, Updated and Improved
The gold dome tweeter was first introduced in a Monitor Audio speaker in 1986. Since then, it’s been consistently improved and developed.
The latest incarnation within the Bronze Series 7G is thinner, lighter, and more rigid than the previous 6th generation. Additionally, its carefully formed profiled dome, now benefits from the UD (Uniform Dispersion) Waveguide II. This improves time alignment and allows a lower frequency to crossover for wider directivity. Working alongside a new compression ring, the result is less distortion and a more enjoyable listen.
The latest incarnation within the Bronze Newly optimized venting allows the tweeter to increase its SPL within the 2-3Khz region for more precise playback at higher volumes.
New Crossover Design for Detailed and Precise Sound Delivery
The crossovers for Bronze Series 7G have been optimized over many hundreds of hours of listening by the R&D team. Each component has gone through rigorous measurement testing to improve the overall ‘system design’ and with high-quality capacitors and transistors used at this price point. As a result, the Bronze Series 7G provides detailed and precise sound delivery across all audible sound frequencies for an engaging listen.
World Renowned Cabinetry Craftsmanship
Monitor Audio is world renowned for the quality and craftmanship of its cabinetry. The Bronze Series 7G continues its leadership in this area with beautifully engineered cabinets that present real-wood and ply front baffles, and modern satin finished vinyl wrapped cabinets.
The high-velocity II port (HiVe II) design reduces turbulence and support air-flow acceleration within the port, allowing for fast powerful bass and greater transient response.
Through-Bolt technology allows the drive units to be securely braced to the rear of the cabinet and tightened to a specific torque to ensure the drive unit and cabinet remain structurally strong, removing unwanted chassis resonances.
