Aimed directly toward the custom installation market, the new Monitor Audio Creator Series has officially landed. And if you’re wondering which custom installers the lineup is targeting, it includes the in-ceiling and in-wall installations.
Nonetheless, Monitor Audio has packed 19 different models in the new Creator Series. Among them, there are 14 ceiling options and 5 in-wall options.
Each of the models in the new Monitor Audio Creator Series aims to deliver enhanced performance levels. They also come with additional functionalities when compared to their predecessor.
But one big thing makes the new Monitor Audio Creator Series stand out the most from the previous offerings. They all integrated the extensive feedback taken from a wide network of experienced installers.
Monitor Audio has taken them from the Monitor Audio’s Partner Programme. And these feedbacks make the new range offer simplified options with better functionalities.
That said, one of the highlighted innovations within the series is the use of a Quick-Link terminal. It’s a patent-pending technology from Monitor Audio that enables installers to remove the terminal block.
The Quick-Link terminal of the new Monitor Audio Creator Series also lets installers pre-terminate the speaker cables. When the speakers are ready to be fitted within the cut-outs, installers can use the Quick-Link for the connection point.
Other features of the new Creator Series include Tri-Grip II. It’s an evolution of the dog-leg mechanism, which is more reliable and considerably stronger than its predecessor.
For those wondering, the Tri-Grip II makes the process of placing and extracting the speakers simpler. One of the four Controlled Performance models within the new Monitor Audio Creator Series even has built-in back boxes.
These back boxes make the installation simpler and enhance the control over the sound. Across the large and medium in-ceiling speaker sizes, the new Monitor Audio Creator Series keeps the cut-out sizes the same as the predecessors.
However, there’s an increase in the driver size, which is from 6.5-inch to 7-inch in medium and from 8-inch to 9-inch in the large models.
For the driver technology, the new models come with a carefully configured setup. That includes C-CAM tweeters and mid-bass drivers, RST II mid-range Tier 2 drivers, and RST II mid-range Tier 3 drivers.
Moreover, the Tier 3 in-wall models of the new Monitor Audio Creator Series have THX-certified Ultra and Cinergy home cinema series-based MPD II transducers. The Tier 3 models also contain additional features that offer even more freedom in speaker placement.
Another important thing to note is that all the products come with 100% recyclable packaging, making them eco-friendly.
