Monitor Audio say….
This is Bronze BX, Monitor Audio’s ‘entry level’ speaker range. Blending the best of its award-winning predecessors with advanced technologies from our up-market RX and flagship Platinum ranges, Bronze BX far exceeds the standards of performance and quality you’d normally expect from a speaker in its price class. By using ever more accurate computer simulations and the latest materials, we’ve fine-tuned our acclaimed Bronze Reference range to a new industry high, developing its astonishingly precise and naturally dynamic sound to place Bronze BX on a level way beyond the capabilities of many more expensive rivals. In Bronze BX the benefits of our ceaseless search for audio purity are dedicated to your enjoyment of music and film audio. And BX is engineered for stunning aesthetic results as well. By
harvesting greater accuracy and efficiency from comprehensive test and measurement data, our in-house teams have created a beautiful union of breathtaking fidelity and slender lifestyle design that represents the truest spirit of Monitor Audio. Bronze BX is a class apart.
The innovative BX1 squeezes the performance of a much larger speaker into a format that’s easy to enjoy anywhere in the home. A wider more consistent frequency response from its C-CAM drivers will give you the fidelity and bandwidth you’ll need to liberate the essence of your music and film favourites, while leaving the choice of installation options wide open. The two-way BX1 utilises a single 140 mm C-CAM bass driver and 25 mm C-CAM tweeter in a system designed to defy the usual size/performance assumptions.
Resplendent in a choice of high quality vinyl wood finishes in Walnut, Natural Oak, Rosemah and Black Oak and built with the accuracy that exemplifies the Monitor Audio brand world-wide, the seven slender Bronze BX models will look
gorgeous in any room. From their smart range ID baffle crowns to their precision-machined footings, the Bronze BX speakers project an understated elegance, which borrows styling cues from our range-topping Platinum speakers. Beneath the BX skin, a sophisticated acoustic design of dedicated driver chambers, rigid bracing, bolt through drivers and hard-wired connections ensures that the sonic impact of Bronze BX is as tangible and three-dimensional as the silky BX cabinets themselves.
In utilising a design feature perfected for our highly acclaimed RX speakers, all BX drivers are secured on a single rigid bolt, which is fixed to the back panel and passes through the cabinet. This means that the driver effectively ‘floats’ in the front baffle and cannot transmit vibrations to the cabinet itself, thereby eliminating a common source of box colouration in more conventional speaker designs. The driver bolts also act to further brace the cabinet, adding rigidity and transparency to the system.
Ever more advanced computer simulation has allowed us to optimise the C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/ Magnesium) tweeter design to deliver higher sensitivity, greater detail and a wider bandwidth beyond 30kHz. The new tweeter includes a dedicated chamber, which incorporates graduated damping to reduce undesirable resonances for a smoother more accurate response.
One of the key BX design features is the use of high performance C-CAM alloy for its bass drivers. C-CAM is extremely rigid and holds its shape during explosive film scenes and dynamic musical passages. It’s also very light, giving high efficiency. This means that BX models will convey more dynamic detail at a naturally faster rate than ordinary speakers, so you can enjoy jaw-dropping musical resolution and movie surround sound action that enhances the highest definition pictures. To ensure ultimate reliability we’ve optimised the bass driver system with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), strengthening the chassis at critical points and perfecting a more precise motor action for greater accuracy and deeper, more liquid bass.
Advanced FEA has also helped us to realise greater linearity, efficiency and a wider response from the BX mid-range drivers. With improved voice-coil design and more agile motor assemblies, we’ve smoothed the off-axis response for more articulate mid-band detail and natural vocal timbre.
Bronze BX may be modestly priced, but it can still impart the spirit of luxury. To complement the slender proportions and precision finish of the BX design, magnetic grille attachment adds to a sense of fuss-free chic.
Crossover design has been optimised for each BX speaker. Incorporating audiophile-grade components, the new PCB layouts keep paths as short as possible to maintain high levels of signal integrity.
A technology developed for our flagship Platinum and mid-market RX speakers uses a series of rifled grooves inside the reflex port to speed the transit of air from the cabinet, resulting in more dynamic bass.
