Described as the 'most accurate and beautiful loudspeakers Monitor Audio has ever made', the new Platinum Ⅱ series benefits from refinements to their electrical, mechanical, magnetic and acoustic systems. In addition to the improved tolerance of the metallised polypropylene capacitors and air-cored inductors used in the speakers' crossovers, Monitor Audio has also ushered in a new series of drivers. An improved composite is used for the 'RDTII' bass and midrange drivers which now employ a very lightweight but rigid sandwich of C-CAM (a ceramic-deposited alloy) and woven carbon fibre with a honeycomb Nomex filling. These new diaphragms offer a shallower but smoothly continuous profile without a centre hole or dust cap. Improved excursion, reduced distortion and a wider passband are all claimed. These are joined by a new MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) ribbon tweeter. The Platinum Ⅱ range extends from the £3150 PL100II compact two-way to the £ 15,000 seven-driver PL500II flagship.
