Description

Monitor Audio Platinum PL500 II Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

Here you’ll discover the essence of Platinum II engineering: silken layers of the finest high frequency definition suspended on an explicit midrange, seamlessly underpinned by a deep, clean and responsive bass foundation. More than ever the sound has a physical authority, conveying the ‘live’ character of instruments, voices and atmospheres as if they had materialised three-dimensionally in the air around you.

This is fidelity in the raw, magnificent in stature, seductive for its rhythmic subtlety and utterly captivating in the sheer magnitude of its dynamic impact. Our most sophisticated system of no fewer than four 8" RDT II bass drivers, twin 4" RDT II mid-range drivers and MPD Transducer will render the entire harmonic sweep of every work with pin sharp timing and accuracy. Your music and film sound alive, immersive and uncompromised.

Technology

  • 4 x 8" RDT II long throw bass drivers
  • 2 x 4" RDT II mid-range drivers
  • MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) high frequency transducer designed specifically for Platinum II
  • 4 x HiVe II ports
  • Patented 'DCF' (Dynamic Coupling Filter) mechanism for more natural sound
  • Bespoke speaker terminals and footings
  • Underhung, edge-wound voice coils: greater driver efficiency and lifelike dynamics, less distortion
  • Bolt through drivers: clearer sound and cleaner aesthetics
  • Anti-Resonance Composite (ARC) mid-range housings and baffle components: reduced cabinet vibration, purer sound quality
  • TLE (Tapered Line Enclosure) sealed internal enclosure for mid-range drivers: greater sound accuracy and reduced cabinet vibration
  • Hand-upholstered front baffle: the very highest quality Inglestone leather supplied by Andrew Muirhead
  • Individual driver grilles
  • Finish options: Santos Rosewood or Ebony natural wood veneers with clear gloss piano lacquer, or Piano black gloss lacquer

Synthesis Metropolis NYC200i 

FEATURES

  • Aluminum Knobs
    Two 45mm CNC machined control knobs with integral soft light and laser-etched indication segments.
  • DC Powered tube heater
    All tubes, except KT120, have DC stabilized heater circuits to reduce hum noise to a near in-audible minimum.
  • Output transformer
    The Output transformer uses a double C-core Hi-Grade Iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction and bandwidth. With this newly designed custom output transformer unique to the NYC200i we are able to achieve highly delicate and precise sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.
  • Mechanical chassis construction
    The power supply and output transformers are held by an extremely rigid "H" structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes.
  • Remote control
    A superb wooden handmade case with soft button design, perfectly matching the aesthetics for the "Metropolis" series.
  • Feet
    Four CNC machined aluminum feet with an insert of natural rubber. The depth and form of these rubber feet is calculated to minimize the vibration of the amplifier in isolation from its surroundings.
  • Fan
    A 120mm fan provides a speed between 500 to 700 rpm which is controlled via the supplied adapter. This ULN (Ultra-Low-Noise) unit is tailor-made for the serious enthusiast who demands super-slow running speeds and the utmost silence of operation.
  • Bias control
    The factory set fine bias control is microprocessor controlled to maintain the optimum settings. If required this can be adjusted without the use of an external voltmeter by use of an internally fitted display device.
  • Dual mono Circuitry
    A completely dual mono design minimizes the crosstalk across channels. Power transformers use hi-grade iron silicon M0 and separate supplies with hi-grade selected capacitors to produce extremely low ripple levels. Independent to the mains transformer, each channel has a separate power supply guaranteeing a large reservoir of energy to meet the demands of the amplifier circuit and to maintain excellent interference immunity between channels.
  • Binding posts
    Gold plated professional binding posts for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.
  • Socket
    Gold plated ceramic sockets for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.
  • Components
    Components for the NYC 200i have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best available components are considered and all must undergo an exhaustive analysis of their sonic influence prior to final selection.
  • Selected tubes
    All tubes used are selected after 2 stages warm-up. A fully computer monitored machine controls the process and at the end of this, selects the perfect tubes which are matched for a perfect balance.
