It is very light and very strong, meaning that it can respond with great speed without bending - just like a perfect piston. RDT II uses C-CAM® for the front skin, while the rear skin is made from a woven carbon fibre material. We discovered that the new structure reduces distortion by over 8dB above 300Hz, which makes RDT II the lowest distortion cone technology in Monitor Audio’s history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) High Frequency Transducer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDeveloped over many months of intensive testing and listening, the MPD High Frequency Transducer is a landmark achievement by the engineering team for Platinum II. It represents an imaginative re-working of an existing technology, transforming a successful idea into an audiophile super-driver, having greater accuracy and efficiency than ever before. Using a new, proprietary low-mass pleated diaphragm with a surface area eight times larger than that of a traditional dome tweeter, the MPD transducer works like a super-fast accordion by rapidly squeezing the pleats to produce a smooth, wide, naturally fast response up to 100kHz. As a result it sounds more lifelike, releasing the high harmonic spectrum of every note without the distortion that blurs definition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSystem Format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e3 Way -

It is very light and very strong, meaning that it can respond with great speed without bending - just like a perfect piston. RDT II uses C-CAM® for the front skin, while the rear skin is made from a woven carbon fibre material. We discovered that the new structure reduces distortion by over 8dB above 300Hz, which makes RDT II the lowest distortion cone technology in Monitor Audio’s history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) High Frequency Transducer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDeveloped over many months of intensive testing and listening, the MPD High Frequency Transducer is a landmark achievement by the engineering team for Platinum II. It represents an imaginative re-working of an existing technology, transforming a successful idea into an audiophile super-driver, having greater accuracy and efficiency than ever before. Using a new, proprietary low-mass pleated diaphragm with a surface area eight times larger than that of a traditional dome tweeter, the MPD transducer works like a super-fast accordion by rapidly squeezing the pleats to produce a smooth, wide, naturally fast response up to 100kHz. As a result it sounds more lifelike, releasing the high harmonic spectrum of every note without the distortion that blurs definition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSystem Format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e3 Way - 4 Driver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFrequency Response (-6dB - IEC 268-13)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e35Hz - 100kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSensitivity (1W@1M)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e90dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMaximum S.P.L.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e117dBA (pair)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e4Ω (4.0Ω min. @ 135Hz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePower Handling (RMS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e250W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eRecommended Amplifier Requirements (RMS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e100 - 250W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCabinet Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eTwo HiVe®II ports\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSealed mid-range TLE enclosure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDrive Unit Complement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e2 x 61\/2\" RDT®II long-throw bass drivers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e1 x 4\" RDT II mid-range driver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e1 x MPD high frequency transducer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMF\/HF: 3.9kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eLF\/MF: 750Hz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eExternal Dimensions (Inc. plinth) (H x W x D)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e998 x 360 x 375mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e(395\/16 x 143\/16 x 143\/4”)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eExternal Dimensions (Inc. feet \u0026amp; spikes) (H x W x D)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e1043 x 360 x 375mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e(411\/16 x 143\/16 x 143\/4”)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eWeight (each)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e36.08kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e"}
