distilled the essence of our finest full-size speakers
into a scintillatingly ergonomic design, perfected for
the priorities of contemporary living. We’ve used the
latest FEA analysis to shrink the speaker without
compromising its performance, simulating and
fine-tuning the drivers and enclosure of each Apex
model, so that you enjoy the explosive sound and
precise imaging of a large Monitor Audio system,
from a much smaller one.

driven by an over-sized motor system featuring a high power voice coil
and vented cooling. Paired with the bass driver is a newly minted 25mm

gold-dome tweeter, FEA-tuned to reach beyond 35kHz:
way above the response of Blu-ray and HD audio formats. Following the
design of our multi-award winning Silver RX speakers, the drivers are fixed
to the back of the fabulously inert Apex enclosure on a single through-
bolt, allowing them to ‘float’ free of the baffle, thus eliminating a source of
distortion common to ordinary speakers. The bolt acts as a cabinet brace
as well, making the entire structure even more resistant to unwanted
vibration. Another Platinum series innovation, the HiVe

All the elements of the Apex design have been choreographed by Monitor
Audio to operate with complete precision for a stunning audio result. And
we’ve verified our FEA analysis with plenty of real-world listening to confirm
the simple truth: Apex widens the experience of sound with stratospheric
highs, the most revealing mid band and the deepest bass contours. It plays
louder with lower distortion than rival designs. Apex is a class apart.
