  • The flagship Gold 500 6G is engineered to deliver the very highest levels of performance. It features the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside an HDT, C-CAM 3-inch mid-driver and twin 8-inch bass drivers.

    The Gold 500 6G is the flagship model of the new Gold Series 6G. It represents the highest-levels of performance and system design at the price point, and within this competitive market segment. Designed to house the latest MPD III high-frequency transducer alongside the new 3-inch mid-driver and powerful twin 8-inch bass drivers, each of which benefit from the latest HDT, C-CAM cone technology and hugely powerful motor systems. The Gold 500 6G is a worthy flagship for such a prestigious range; a formidable acoustic treat for the ears as well as the eyes.

    Light, strong, powerful – the perfect piston.

    Monitor Audio has been leading the industry in the field of metal driver cone technology for over 40 years. The new Gold Series 6G boasts a totally new metal cone technology in the form of HDT (Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology).

    HDT draws on the design of the RDT III cones utilised in Hyphn and the Platinum Series, which consist of a Nomex honeycomb layer sandwiched between Aluminium and Carbon Fibre skins. The new HDT cone employs a hexagonal pattern to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup.

    The finest details, delivered.

    The result of an extensive development process to refine and achieve even greater performance, 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.

    Impactful, dynamic and controlled bass.

    With the new HDT, C-CAM cone, FEA-optimized surround and spider designs, plus increased voice coil length, the new Gold Series 6G’s 6- and 8-inch bass drivers exhibit greater linearity, reducing distortion for cleaner and punchier low end. Rigidly secured in place by a new cast aluminum, light-weight chassis design, it provides the optimum structure with maximum airflow around the drive unit. 

    Crossover Design – 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.

    Plinth and foot assembly

    Providing the most stable platform possible for the Gold Series 6G floorstanding speakers to perform from, cast aluminum outrigger style assemblies with steel bracing allow the user to adjust the speaker level with ease.

    A machined magnetic top cap, hides the hex key adjustment – and with a simple twist, the height of the spike or rubber foot (depending on the floor surface) can be adjusted simply to find the perfect level.
