We've proved once again that there is no preconception that cannot be challenged, no rule beyond question. By refining new materials and technologies, we're getting closer to perfection. [. . . ] A rigid cabinet construction, coupled with proprietary bracing techniques and damping technologies provide the optimum environment for its ultra-low distortion drivers, providing a sound which is remarkably transparent and rich in natural expression. The PL100's C-CAM ribbon tweeter extends its response way beyond the auditory threshold to capture the ultra-high harmonic frequencies that are part of the natural spectrum of sounds, preserving the entire micro-dynamic character of every performance. It's lightening-fast RDT bass driver will reproduce the power and scale of dramatic passages with a transient response to match the ribbon tweeter, ensuring consistent phase and breathtaking fidelity throughout the frequency band. The PL100 is a truly compact, wideband speaker capable of reproducing accurately the most demanding of music and film scores. The PL100 comes with a pressed, open mesh grille. This is invisibly held in place by high strength neo-dynium magnets embedded within the, ARC baffle to give a clean finish to the front. The grille is generally self-aligning when placed on the baffle, however, some fine adjustment may be required. For speaker positioning and connection options, please refer to page 23 - 26 Using the PL100's Without the Monitor Audio Stand Within the packaging of the PL100 you will find 8 self adhesive rubber disks. These are designed to be used when the PL100 is positioned either on a bookshelf or a stand by an alternative manufacturer. They isolate the speaker and help to prevent it from moving along the surface due to the externally mounted inserts. Place them around the insert as illustrated to the right > 14 monitoraudio. co. uk Pl300 15 PL300 Standing at nearly 1. 2m tall, the PL300 is a majestic three-way floor-standing loudspeaker comprising of two 8" (200mm) RDT bass drivers, one 4" (100mm) RDT mid-range driver and a C-CAM high frequency ribbon transducer. It possesses the ability to generate the power and scale required to fill a larger room with awe-inspiring sound. Jaw-dropping dynamics, combined with class leading agility give the PL300 the power to paint the widest and most detailed of sonic pictures. Through the application of advanced technologies, sound balance is neutral, lifelike and totally refined. The PL300 is a true wide-bandwidth speaker system whose range from 28Hz-100KHz is unrivalled in its class. Between 550Hz and 4KHz, the PL300's ultra-light and rigid RDT mid-range driver operates with lightening-fast precision to provide a remarkable transient response, aided by its dedicated, proprietary Tapered Line Enclosure (TLE). Precision cast from ARC material, the TLE provides a very inert, well damped chamber, whose shape is designed to prevent the formation of standing waves, which impair the operation of the driver. To further reduce colouration by preventing the release of residual energy to the main cabinet, the TLE chamber is decoupled from the main cabinet housing by rubber isolation materials. The twin RDT bass drivers are engineered to produce high excursions with extremely low signal distortion. Even at high power outputs the PL300 will remain composed and free from any sign of distortion or fatigue. Further evidence of Platinum's no-compromise design philosophy is revealed by the `outboard' location of the PL300's crossover, which is mounted in the cast ARC plinth to eliminate magnetic interference and provide acoustic de-coupling from the speaker itself. The ARC plinth also houses the bi-wire WBT terminals and provides convenient floor level access.
