Sold as a pair, it reaches down to 28Hz in room and holds 90dB sensitivity, so it fills a large space without needing an exotic amplifier. Every driver is now through-bolted to the rear of the cabinet, which is the change you hear rather than see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBass with room to breathe.\u003c\/b\u003e Two 8 inch RST III cones and a port tuned to 33Hz give genuine low end weight in big rooms, so you are not reaching for a subwoofer to fill in the bottom octave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA midrange that is properly its own.\u003c\/b\u003e Handing vocals to a dedicated 3 inch driver between 640Hz and 2.8kHz keeps voices clear of the bass drivers' workload, which is where two way towers usually give something up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEasy to drive, easy to place.\u003c\/b\u003e 90dB sensitivity and an 8Ω nominal load mean a good integrated amplifier is enough, and the outrigger feet let you level the cabinet properly on carpet or timber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder the Hood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree way layout with 2 x 8 inch C-CAM RST III bass drivers, a 3 inch C-CAM RST III midrange and a 25mm C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter with UD Waveguide II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent Flow Port Technology with a wider port and a flare geometry inspired by owl wing feathers, tuned to 33Hz to smooth airflow and cut port noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-Bolt Driver Technology braces each drive unit to the rear panel at a set torque, working with internal bracing and damping to keep the cabinet quiet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHT Insider Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one to buy if the room is genuinely large and you want a single pair of speakers to do the whole job. The extra midrange driver is what separates it from cheaper towers, and it shows up most on vocals and acoustic recordings. Give them a metre of space behind and a solid amplifier with real current delivery, and be aware the quoted frequency response is an in-room figure at -6dB rather than an anechoic -3dB number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Fit the outrigger feet before you decide where they sit. A tower this size only produces its rated bass when it is dead level and properly coupled to the floor, and a wobble on carpet will cost you more low end than any repositioning will get back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way floorstanding speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 8 inch C-CAM RST III\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidrange driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 3 inch C-CAM RST III\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 25mm C-CAM Gold Dome with UD Waveguide II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass alignment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorted, Silent Flow Port Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort tuning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response (in-room, -6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28Hz to 35kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90dB (2.83Vrms at 1m, free-field)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6Ω at 2kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover frequencies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e640Hz (LF\/MF), 2.8kHz (MF\/HF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum peak SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119dB (AES75, Z-weighted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuous power handling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250W (CTA 426-B)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended amplifier power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125W to 500W into 4Ω, 60W to 250W into 8Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhysical\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (H x W x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1120 x 340 x 432 mm, with all accessories fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.3 kg each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Gloss Black, European Walnut, Satin White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarranty\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Monitor Audio","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":48347098579202,"sku":"MON-S500XX-8G-SPK-BLK","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"European Walnut","offer_id":48347099136258,"sku":"MON-S500XX-8G-SPK-WAL","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":48347099169026,"sku":"MON-S500XX-8G-SPK-WHT","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/4376\/1716\/files\/monitor-audio-floor-standing-speakers-mon-s500xx-8g-spk-blk-1254967676.jpg?v=1787114531","url":"https:\/\/www.customht.com.au\/products\/monitor-audio-silver-500-8g-floorstanding-speakers","provider":"CHT Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
