IntrOduCtIOn
Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the loudspeaker from the Apex Series.
We are confident they will provide years of enjoyment and pleasure as only high quality
components have been used throughout.
The sophisticated new Apex Series introduces revolutionary new technologies, honed
to produce the highest standards of performance and build quality. A unique blend of
versatility, performance and style, designed to excel in the most demanding audio or home
theatre based systems.
New C-CAM ® bass drivers have been specially developed for Apex, further enhanced by the
introduction of the high performance RST cone geometry. All bass drivers feature vented,
die-cast aluminium chassis and large diameter, high power voice coils. Using advanced
FEA modelling, the 25mm C-CAM gold dome tweeter has been optimised to eclipse
performance of previous designs with crisp, detailed high frequencies beyond 35kHz.
The rigid die-cast alloy cabinet, baffle and drive units are bolted together using the innovative
through bolt fixing technology adopted in Monitor Audio’s range topping Platinum Series.
The through bolting system provides uniform mechanical pressure, which ties the whole
speaker assembly together and doubles as a rigid bracing system to keep the cabinet stiff
and free from resonance. These features provide enhanced mid-band clarity and resolution
by limiting vibration from the driver and cabinet which could adversely add colouration and
affect sound quality. All component parts are constructed from die-cast or machined metal
alloys, providing extreme rigidity and assured high performance. HiVe
® port design has
been introduced to Apex, resulting in clean powerful, punchy bass with superior transient
response.
Heavy duty bracket systems have been designed for optimum flexibility and ease of use.
Die-cast or machined from heavy duty aluminium/ zinc alloy, they provide the ultimate in
stability whilst offering greater flexibility with numerous installation options available.
Stylish magnetic grilles have been designed with no visible fixings, providing a simplistic
and sleek appearance.
Apex is a true master-class of engineering excellence, delivering class leading performance
maintaining Monitor Audios’ fine heritage of award winning sound.
