SOUNDFRAME PERFECT INTERIOR DESIGN INTEGRATION AND CLASS-LEADING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM MONITOR AUDIO Monitor Audio's SoundFrame is an ultra discreet on-wall or in-wall loudspeaker that can be perfectly matched to a room's décor. SoundFrame's super slender looks, the choice of grille designs and superior build quality ensures that there is no longer any conflict between great audio performance and fabulous interior design. The SoundFrame cabinet frame is available in high gloss white and black piano lacquer or can be finished in any colour. For the complete custom effect there is a wide variety of grille options to choose from to ensure a final flourish to a room's styling. To create the SoundFrame speakers, Monitor Audio found a way to build their famously natural sound quality into an ultra-slender cabinet just 87mm (3 1/2”) deep. www.monitoraudio.com SoundFrame speakers are designed to blend perfectly with any interior and precision engineered to replace your old speakers with the most discreet highperformance music and movie system you've ever seen or heard. SoundFrame 1 and SoundFrame 2 utilise a true 3-way full range driver configuration featuring a pivoting IDC 4-inch mid range/1-inch tweeter module and 6 1/2-inch C-CAM® bass driver. The innovative Inverted Dual Concentric module is able to pivot in all directions allowing the precise direction of crucial frequencies toward the listening area for greater detail, imaging and fidelity. The large high power bass driver uses Monitor Audio's advanced RST® cone technology that was developed for their flagship speakers. RST's surface contours keep the cone light and agile, but enhance its rigidity and strength for a rapid and life-like response. For perfect room tuning, a high frequency attenuator switch will raise or lower levels by 3dB.
