Since we introduced the [:monolog] to the professional market it made its name as pretty boy (some people called it the first good looking studio monitor) and prognosticator who is always telling the truth. Now, in the second generation, we gave him good manners – after all you want to enjoy music like a nice red wine or a superb hand rolled Cohiba cigar. You don’t want to be bothered by the mistakes of the creators of your CD. However, as the part list suggests, our [:monolog] is not a V8 sound artist but a full-blooded high-tech music reproduction tool:

30mm diamond tweeter from Thiel&Partner Accuton combined with specifically tuned ceramic chassis, build into a symphony of an even more rigid strutted cabinet also featuring our 90mm Isoplate. The audio signal is entirely fed through solid core silver conductors.

The midrange and high-tones are amplified using a modified version of our well-known analog 200 watt [:carlo] amplifier, the subwoofer is run with a tuned version of the 500 watt ClassD amplifier from Bang & Olufsen. The cross-over section is made of the best Mundorf components, power supply is done via pure copper cables and components within the speaker (including cable shoes and clamps).

We respect and life physics, electro acoustics and little bit of ZEN. We attach great importance to audiophile components, correct positioning, maximum contacting, a pure & clean signal path and flawless assembly – we tease out the maximum and only are satisfied when we see no more room for improvements. This loudspeaker demonstrates the maximum we are capable of.

On the other hand our [:monolog] is discrete and unspectacular – during playback he moves into the background, giving space to the sound. You as musical enthusiast are in the first row, you see the musicians breath, you hear how the instruments sound, you can hear the conductor sweat, you feel his sole and ambition – music perception of a new dimension. Before we deliver your [:monolog] to you we make a 200 hour burn-in. All you need to do is to hook up your audio source.

We offer our high-end [:monolog] in two finishes: with a special black matt Nextel® suede coating or conventional in black, hand polished piano lacquer. Both versions have their own appeal: the matt black [:monolog] integrates very well into any given room, it’s a statement of noble retention. The piano lacquer is the most prestigious kind of surface refinement, very black and very dark – 12 individual layers of lacquer are necessary to archive such a result: a feast for the eyes and a true eye-catcher.
