Monitor Audio says its in-house design team was charged with "finding a blend of materials and geometry that would complement the GX's exceptional sound". Main attributes of the design include:
• New C-CAM Ribbon transducer design – providing extension to 60KHz
• New 6.5in bass driver with RST profile C-CAM cone
• Die-cast alloy driver chassis design
• HiVe port technology for better transient response and tighter bass
• Single bolt through driver fixings for improved bracing, rigidity and driver/baffle de-coupling
• Die-cast alloy terminal panel arrangement with high quality bi-wire terminals and high end spade type link cables
• Pureflow Silver internal cabling
• High-quality crossovers with premium grade polypropylene film capacitors used throughout
• Large radius cabinet edges to provide low diffraction and smoother overall frequency response
• Curved cabinet profile for increased rigidity and reduced internal standing waves
• Selected premium quality wood veneers or high gloss piano finishes.
• Rigid 20mm MDF construction throughout, employing radial and cross-bracing techniques for high rigidity resulting in low cabinet colouration
• Invisible magnetic grille fixing provides clean visual styling when used with the grille off
• Metal mesh grille design to give low diffraction, resulting in improved off-axis dispersion
