R180 Your Space
The slightly larger Radius 180 has been designed to be sited vertically or horizontally. Its versatility means it can be used as a centre channel in a multi-channel music or movie system as well as a main, side or rear speaker. And just 95mm deep, it's ideal for use with a Plasma screen or in places where space is at a premium. As with all Radius components, the R180 can be purchased individually for maximum flexibility when system building.
Radius 180 has the same specially designed MMP® II bass-mid driver and Gold Dome C-CAM® tweeter as the 90 but these are housed in a larger cabinet with a front-firing reflex port. Its enhanced bass performance makes it an even more suitable choice as a stand alone speaker where a subwoofer isn't required. But combined with the Radius 360 sub, the R180 forms part of a formidably powerful stereo or multi-channel system.
As with the R90, the R180 is supplied with a high quality die-cast metal wall bracket and both black and silver grilles. The real wood veneer and lacquer finishes add to the aesthetic and tactile appeal and are crafted to the same exacting standards as Monitor Audios reference speaker systems.
Features
- Unique drivers designed and tooled for Radius. The new cast bass-mid chassis is made from high-tech glass loaded engineering polymer that provides better damping than metal and increased overall strength.
- MMP® II. Monitor Audio's second generation Metal Matrix Polymer cone material now uses a high-pressure injection moulding process to achieve different thicknesses at desired points of the cone geometry for greater stiffness and consistency resulting in superior bass and clearer mid-range frequencies.
- Magnetically shielded drivers allow Radius to be safely used near sensitive microprocessor equipment or video displays
- High quality crossover uses high grade metalised Polypropylene capacitors for increased clarity. High-grade air core and laminated iron core inductors give lowest possible distortion and low insertion losses.
- Specially developed high grade PCOFC internal cable is used throughout to ensure maximum signal transfer at all frequencies and low signal resistance.
- Single through-bolt driver fixing provides mechanical de-coupling and enhanced mid-band clarity and resolution. The through-bolts also act as rigid cross bracing to give a very solid non-resonant cabinet.
- Sealed cabinet design with rigid MDF construction throughout.
- Smooth radius edges reduce diffraction effects for better imaging
- Front ported design (180)
- Perforated metal grilles supplied in both black and silver to match individual decor or taste.
- Specially designed die-cast metal wall bracket system (supplied) provides 20 degrees of vertical and horizontal pivoting for easy positioning.
