Gold 500 6G with grille in Macassar Wood Veneer

Big news from Monitor Audio. The revered British speaker manufacturer, and multiple product-award recipient, launched its all-new Gold Series 6G speaker range. 6G stands for the 6th generation of the Gold Series, which started 36 years ago. Today, each of the six distinctive models in the Gold Series 6G have reached a new apex of performance that was previously unobtainable at their price point.

The Gold Series 6G is said to represent not only a refinement over the 5G series, but a complete redesign of the 5G and a grand step forward in sound quality, such that it represents the beginning of a new chapter for the Gold Series. Improvements over the 5G Series include the 6Gโ€™s use of a totally new metal cone technology called Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology (HDT), whichโ€”and this is notable because itโ€™s a rare example of trickle-down technology on a grand scaleโ€”draws on the RDT III cones used in the companyโ€™s ground-breaking CA$ 130,000/pair flagship Hyphn speaker.

And thatโ€™s not the only example of cutting edge technology having been borrowed from Monitor Audioโ€™s flagship products for the new Gold Series. The 6G also employs a revised version of Monitor Audioโ€™s MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) tweeter used in both the Hyphn and the premium, much-lauded Platinum 3G Series.

Other technological advancements that brought significant gains to the overall sound quality of the 6G over the 5G include a more precise crossover design, better braced cabinets, and optimized driver parts.

All these things amount to a Gold Series that offers unparalleled performance over previous generations. The 6G simply delivers more clarity, control, speed, dynamics, bass response, and expressive musicality than has ever been achieved in the Gold Seriesโ€™ 36 years of continuous existence and evolution.

And thereโ€™s more; aside from sonic considerations, the 6G series offers a rich new finish. For the first time, alongside the rangeโ€™s standard finishes of High-Gloss Black and Satin White, a man-made Macassar Wood Veneer has been added that offers the quality and luster of real ebony, while leaving behind a significantly more earth-friendly carbon footprint compared to that left by traditional methods of real-wood veneered production.

With six models to choose from, the Gold Series G6 has a speaker or setup tailored for every need. Explore the models here.

Better yet, listen to the Gold Series 6G for yourself at your local Monitor Audio dealer or at the Toronto Audiofest, where the new series will be exhibited in the Mackenzie room at Holiday Inn Intโ€™l Airport. This yearโ€™s show is taking place from October 18 to 20 at two locationsโ€”Holiday Inn Intโ€™l Airport and neighboring Westin Toronto Airport (two locations, same parking lot).
