R225

Years Active 2006-2008


The slender Radius 225 ‘Plasma’ is a versatile loudspeaker, which by virtue of its very shallow depth is ideal for use with slim video displays or Plasma TVs, as a centre channel or main speaker.

The sheer quality of its design provides the wonderful accuracy of Monitor Audio’s reference speakers, but its impressive size-defying bass performance can be further extended with the addition of a Radius active subwoofer. Use the 225s with the R360 or R720 to create a compact, perfectly matched yet sonically exhilarating audio/video speaker system. Supplied with full-length oval black or silver grilles, and in the comprehensive Radius range of finishes, the Radius 225 can be customised to complement its environment from wall-mounted positions, via the slim-profile bracket supplied, or from the desktop using the optional stand.


Technology

  • Wall mounted system for use with video/Plasma TV displays.
  • Bespoke 4" MMP II drivers (custom designed for the 225).
  • D’Appolitto driver array provides good dispersion and fantastic mid-band clarity and presence.
  • New cast bass chassis made from high-tech glass loaded engineering polymer provides better damping properties than metal and increased overall strength.
  • 1” Gold C-CAM tweeter.
  • Magnetically shielded drivers for safe use near sensitive microprocessor equipment or video displays.
  • Versatile design: horizontal or vertical mounting with ‘key hole’ type wall fixings.
  • Recessed terminal panel to allow mounting directly on the wall.
  • Rigid MDF construction throughout.
  • Smooth radius edges reduce diffraction effects and provide better imaging properties.
  • Front-ported reflex design.
  • Full length oval perforated grilles supplied in black and silver can be customised to suit individual décor and taste.
  • Crossover uses high quality components: high grade metalised Polypropylene capacitors are used throughout for increased clarity. High-grade air core and laminated iron core inductors are used to give lowest possible distortion and low insertion losses.
  • Single through-bolt driver fixing provides mechanical de-coupling, resulting in enhanced mid-band clarity and resolution. Through-bolts also act as rigid cross bracing to give a very solid non-resonant cabinet.
  • Specially developed high-grade PCOFC internal cable used throughout for maximum signal transfer at all frequencies and low signal resistance.
