Monitor Audio Silver 50 Bookshelf Speakers

Big Sound with Impressive Scale and Dynamics

The ultra-compact Silver 50 introduces a completely new version of Monitor Audio’s special 5-1/4-inch C-CAM bass/mid-range drive unit, creating the most diminutive bookshelf model ever to appear in the line-up. Silver 50 may be compact, but it delivers a big sound with impressive scale and dynamics. Prepare to be astounded.

Powerful magnets in the nimble Silver 50 bookshelf speaker drive large, 1-1/4" voice coils to ensure impressive power handling and incredibly low distortion. Design criteria ensure that the Silver 50 will make the most of smaller living spaces by being placed close to a wall and yet still deliver clean, punchy bass. You will only hear well-balanced, pure mid-range without ever a hint of box coloration.

Strategic cabinet bracing and Monitor Audio’s bolt-through technology creates an amazingly solid speaker. Not only can it play louder and cleaner than its size suggests, it delivers an incredibly well balanced, pure mid-range for a gloriously natural sound. This may be a smaller box but be prepared for a big, fulfilling sound.

Monitor Audio's Silver 6G Series

Revered by audiophiles around the globe, Monitor Audio's award-winning Silver Series enters its sixth generation with a host of new features to make it the best-performing ever. Taking hi-fi and home theater performance to a new level. The new Silver 6G series utilizes technological advances derived from Monitor Audio's top-of-the-line Platinum Series II. It features a completely redesigned 1" gold dome tweeter for precise treble. And it looks as it good as it sounds, offering stunning real wood veneer, piano lacquer, and contemporary satin white finishes to suit every setting.

Continuous Uninterrupted Dish Drivers

Unlike conventional driver cones, the new C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium) RST (Rigid Surface Technology) bass and midrange drivers take the form of a continuous uninterrupted dish. Strengthened by a uniquely dimpled surface, their greater area radiates more sound, and driven by a larger voice coil and motor, delivers greater efficiency and a cleaner, more accurate response.

Bolt-Through Driver Design

Single bolt-through driver fixings have the dual effect of improving cabinet rigidity while further reducing vibration at the driver/cabinet interface. By this innovative method, drivers are mounted on a single tensioned through-bolt, which is secured to the back of the cabinet. The bolt not only acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box coloration, it removes the need for conventional driver fixings as well, effectively decoupling the driver and baffle to eliminate another source of unwanted resonance. The result is a more fluid communication of mid-range frequencies, and with the absence of front driver fixings, a cleaner more refined overall appearance, especially in tandem with RX's 'invisible' magnetic grille location.

HiVe II (High Velocity) Reflex Port

Developed for the flagship Gold Signature range, the HiVe II reflex port is shaped to have the same effect on airflow as a gun-barrel on a bullet. Rifled groves inside the port help to accelerate the flow and reduce turbulence, so that air moves in and out of the port more efficiently for a faster more dynamic bass response.
