Adam
Rayner concludes:-
This
subwoofer can be considered an outstanding buy – maybe even
the best value for money currently in domestic electronics.
It comes recommended, without caveat

The
Monolith-DF subwoofer is our newest mode and is shown here finished
in a cherry veneer.
The
Monoltith-DF has been produced due to customer demand, it has the
same exceptional performance as the forward firing version but is
housed in a far less aggresive looking cabinet. We feel that it
may be hard to find this quality and performance elsewhere at this
price level.

| Introduction:-
Since
we introduced the XLS200 our compact high power subwoofer, it has
become apparent that there is a need for a budget high power, high
SPL and low distortion subwoofer at a realistic price, with this in
mind the Monolith was born. Designed from the speaker upwards the
Monolith represents a significant saving in price vs performance and
at a smidge over £400 we are offering a serious subwoofer. |
| |
| The
Amplifier:-
We
have years of experience in the manufacture of amplifiers from cinema
amps for large cinema chains, PA amplifiers for the Disco and PA boys
through to Hi-Fi and AV active sub units for some very respected OEM's.
For the Monolith we decided on a 300W Mosfet design using "D"
type lateral devices that are specifically made for audio use and
are not to be confused with the switching types that can sound a bit
harsh. The Mosfet design has a high slew rate and high damping factor
and can be considered audiophile quality even when used as a full
range amplifier, at sub bass frequencies the quality of the amplifier
is exceptional. Fully featured, with High and Low level mixing capabilities,
continuously variable phase control, variable frequency, Balanced
XLR input, Low level gold plated RCA inputs and a gas tight Neutrik
High level input make this sub easy to integrate with most equipment
whether for Hi-Fi or AV use or even for both simultaneously. |

| The
Cabinet:- Out of necessity the cabinet has to be large after all
we are designing a high SPL and low distortion subwoofer. The cabinet
has to be strong, rigid and not colour the sound. So, it's made from
25mm MDF and critically braced. The port has a 100mm internal diameter
and is flared both ends to further eliminate port noise. |
