[:mono] is a analog 2way D´Appolito tool for demanding monitoring applications. It is optimized for a ideal step response and thus a absolute distortion-free and neutral sound reproduction of medium to high frequencies. The sound impression is unspectacular but neutral. The recommended listening distance for [:mono] is 2.4-3.0 meters.
A special feature of the new [:mono] is the phase coherence behaviour in combination with an ideal mechanical Time-Alignment of the installed drivers. This means not only that all drivers start at the same place at the same time but also that the phase is passed on between the drivers without noticeable shifts. This is archived through our passive surrounTec filters. This concept means that all indivdual frequency responses add up perfectly at any given time. The loudspeaker plays sound correct with regards to time and phase. The step-reponse is perfect.
The surrounTec™ [:mono] is characterized by its high volume stability and precision even at medium frequencies. Speed, transients and three-dimensionality at a new dimension of sound reproduction. The horizontal sound radiation is construction-condition rather wide and yields a large sweet spot. Even when you leave the sweet pot area there will be no sound coloration at all. [:mono] can be used as full-range monitoring without hesitation. We recommend using the 8 pillar tripod [:column] made from steel with sand filling. Alternatively [:mono] can be supplemented with a [:log]TA module to a full [:monolog] 3way system.
The [:mono] studio monitor is available in the following configurations:
– [:mono] Professional passive with surrounTec™ filter with Mundorf Supreme silver/gold components and audiophile Mundorf M-Connect terminals.
– [:mono] Professional powered is identical to the passive version but with integrated high-grade class monoblock amplifier module placed before the zero order filters. This speaker is ideal for any production or post-production studio due to the unstressed neutral sound reproduction with a very wide bandwith.
