Monitor Audio Platinum 100 3G - Bookshelf Speaker

Monitor Audio Platinum 100 3G - Bookshelf Speaker

The Platinum 100 3G is a compact 2-way speaker that features a MPD III transducer and 6” RDT III mid-bass driver cone. It offers an utterly compelling listening experience from a relatively small cabinet.

The Platinum 100 3G is engineered to deliver a truly exceptional listening experience from a relatively diminutive loudspeaker. With its new RDT III mid-bass driver cone and MPD III transducer, the Platinum 100 3G has been significantly improved over the previous generation, and sound is presented with a purity and precision that makes for an astoundingly engaging experience. The speaker also includes mount points for the previous Platinum 2G Stand and the new ST-2 Universal Stand.

Beautifully designed for your home

The elegant design of the Platinum Series’ 3G speakers is completely new and crafted with precision engineering and incredible attention to detail. Courtesy of Monitor Audio’s outstanding quality control procedures, you can be sure that this product will both perform well and bring a sophisticated look to your home.

Clear, lifelike sound

Whether you’re watching a film or playing music, Monitor Audio’s MPD III high-frequency and RDT III mid-driver deliver clear, crisp and powerful audio. With optimised rear volume, the MPD III transducer ensures that there is minimal audio ripple in the audible frequency range, ensuring the truest and most accurate sound is produced. Hear vocals clearer than ever before thanks to the tight and articulate delivery from the new RDT III cone.

Dual-layer isolation

Eliminate unwanted vibrations for pure sound. Individually cast aluminium driver holders allow for two layers of isolation between the drivers and the cabinet. This can be controlled using through-bolt driver tension rods that can easily be adjusted from the rear of the speaker. Using this, you can ensure that only the cleanest sound is produced.
