The Wall-Mounted Speaker That Does It All
Can one speaker do it all? The answer in most cases would be a resounding no. But Monitor Audio's Gold On-Wall 6G is different. It's a new, highly flexible addition to the Gold Series 6G range that can convincingly serve a wide range of functions.
The Gold On-Wall 6G's slim profile allows it to be a fantastic rear channel and side channel speaker in a home theater or multi-channel music system. Its elegant design complements any room. But that’s just the beginning. You can also use it as a wall-mounted front LCR (left-center-right) speaker, or enjoy it in hi-hi applications. As an all-around speaker, the Gold On-Wall 6G makes a great choice for tight spaces and tight budgets.
This star performer features Monitor Audio's latest, proprietary MPD III high-frequency transducer and a powerful 6" mid-bass driver that benefits from the latest HDT C-CAM cone technology and powerful motor systems. It's a highly versatile, décor-friendly alternative to bookshelf speakers and floorstanders, delivering detailed high-fidelity surround sound in abundance.
Light, Strong, and Powerful New HDT, C-CAM Cone
Monitor Audio has been leading the industry in the field of metal driver cone technology for over 40 years. So, it’s no surprise that the new Gold Series 6G pushes the boundaries once again, with a totally new metal cone technology in the form of HDT (Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology).
HDT draws on the design of the RDT III cones used in Hyphn and the Platinum Series, which consist of a Nomex honeycomb layer sandwiched between aluminum and carbon fiber skins. The new HDT cone employs a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup, which shifts the frequency up by 10% compared to the RST II cones on the Silver Series 7G.
The use of C-CAM over standard aluminum also results in a stronger, more fatigue-resistant cone. This means that Gold Series 6G drivers perform exactly as Monitor Audio’s engineers intended for as long as you live with the speakers – dynamic passages are delivered with exceptional precision, offering true high-fidelity playback.
Impactful, Dynamic and Controlled Bass
The new HDT, C-CAM cone features FEA-optimized surround and spider designs along with increased voice coil length. As a result, the new Gold Series 6G’s 6" and 8" bass drivers exhibit greater linearity, reducing distortion for cleaner and punchier low end. They are rigidly secured in place by a new cast aluminum, light-weight chassis design, which provides the optimum structure with maximum airflow around the drive unit.
'Through-bolted' to the rear of the cabinet for improved strength of the overall ‘system’, Gold Series 6G drive units produce masses of dynamic bass with low distortion and total control.
Compact, Controlled, and Crystal Clear 3-Inch Mid-Driver
The Gold Series 6G features a totally new 3-inch mid-driver. Being smaller in diameter means the cone break-up occurs well above the upper crossover frequency, eliminating any distortion this would create and providing a smooth transition to the MPD III high- frequency transducer.
This new driver is housed within a dedicated steel enclosure, providing the exact volume required for optimum performance without compromising the cabinet volume needed for bass response. This approach ensures there’s no interference between the two, for a cleaner more precise and detailed presentation.
MPD III Flagship Tweeter Technology
The latest generation of Monitor Audio’s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer delivers precise high-frequency sound with greater consistency, clarity and accuracy. The detail achieved makes music sound lifelike, crisp and real. Fine-tuned for effortless musicality.
The revised transducer design for the Gold Series 6G is heavily influenced by the transducer used in Hyphn and the Platinum Series. The Micro Pleated Diaphragm (MPD) extends tweeter passband to >60 kHz (compared to >40 kHz for a typical AMT). Square radiating area ensures equal directivity in horizontal and vertical planes, resulting in an improved soundstage.
An optimized rear volume ensures minimal ripple in audible frequency range, while the optimized waveguide offers controlled directivity and radiation impedance matching, further improving soundstage and maximizing sensitivity.
Premium Crossover Design for the Purest of Signals
Gold Series 6G’s crossovers have been developed using high-quality capacitors and have undergone hundreds of hours of listening by Monitor Audio’s acoustics team. Many iterations have been repeatedly tested to ensure the smoothest, cleanest audio signal is delivered to each drive unit. They deliver the purity of sound and performance that you’d normally expect from speakers costing two or three times as much.
Gold in Every Sense of the Word
The all-new, totally redesigned Gold Series 6G leaves no detail unrevealed, as Monitor Audio Group delivers the finest, most exhilarating loudspeaker range yet to bear the Gold Series name.
Each model meets a defined user requirement, adds innovative acoustic technologies, and is crafted to celebrate and exude distinctiveness and quality. Building on over three decades of heritage, Gold Series 6G represents the start of an epic new way to experience the joy of sensational sound.
As Beautifully Finished as Luxury Furniture
All Gold Series 6G’s cabinets are designed to form the most rigid structure possible, which allows the drivers to perform to their optimum capabilities. Coupled with cleverly calculated geometry, advanced bracing techniques, and technically accurate crossovers, the cabinets are an important element of the total system.
The Macassar wood veneer introduced on Gold Series 6G is man-made, with a quality and luster that exudes real ebony. Using it offers a significant reduction compared to the carbon impact of traditional methods of real-wood veneered production.
Completed in beautiful, contemporary high-gloss, painted and veneered finishes, Gold Series 6G exudes a quality that continues to ensure Monitor Audio retains its reputation as a world leader in speaker cabinet design.
