The diminutive MR1 allows you to enjoy high quality sound in the smallest spaces. You"ll fall in love with its agile, rhythmic performance and its liberating versatility. While retaining the compact dimensions of its BR1 predecessor, this reference compact monitor delivers superior bandwidth and improved linearity, so you hear more music with greater definition than ever before. The two-way MR1 utilises a single 5.5" MMP II bass driver and 1" C-CAM tweeter within a system optimised for genuine fidelity wherever you place it in the home. Technology C-CAM Drivers Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium is a material originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components. Its properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. In manufacture, aluminium/magnesium alloy undergoes a 3-stage stress-relieving process to remove surface deformation and molecular weakness. Once formed, the alloy cone is subjected to high temperature anodic coating process in which a layer of pure ceramic alumina is depleted onto its surfaces to a depth of 50 microns, producing a completely rigid sandwich of alloy and heat-dissipating ceramic material. Conventional cones are liable to flex or twist in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion. C-CAM cones have a much higher resistance to bending stress and therefore exhibit much greater fidelity over their entire operating range. C-CAM tweeters and woofers share an audible consistency producing a smooth transition of frequencies and a sense of realism in the soundstage. MMP II Metal Matrix Polymer driver cones have a polypropylene base loaded with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimise stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.
