Your Speaker

The compact V20 is a versatile speaker that can be used either horizontally for centre-channel home cinema duties or vertically as a left/right satellite in multi-channel or stereo applications around the home.

The V20 shares the tonal characteristics of the V10, via a 1" gold C-CAM® dome tweeter and a 4" MMP®II bass driver but has the extended bass response necessary for the accurate reproduction of movie dialogue. The cabinets are constructed of a high density moulded polymer, ideal for creating a strong and rigid enclosure and finished with a 'soft touch' rubberised black skin, which lends a wonderfully novel and tactile quality to the product. The front baffles are of MDF, which are held in place with a single through-bolt driver fixing/ bracing method and are coated in either a deep high-gloss piano black black or white lacquer (with white cabinet) or a more traditional walnut wood grain vinyl. Front porting, recessed terminal panel and keyhole fixing points allow for easy wall installation.

Technology

Gold Dome C-CAM®

The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats.

The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.

MMP® II

Metal Matrix Polymer driver cones have a polypropylene base loaded with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimise stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.

All Speakers great and small

"Their rugged build quality is superb and above all, the sound quality with hi-res film soundtracks is thrilling. Well worth auditioning."

Vector 5.1 surround system

"Positioned at the ‘affordable' end of the company's speaker spectrum, this compact sub/sat package comes in a single box and is the ideal option for people who want good performance but don't have a lot of space to play with. The speakers can also be bought separately should you wish to mix and match...An affordable, one-box system it may be, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to compromise on sound quality...the technology inside them is inspired by the company's Radius HD range, which is a reassuring sign given how much we loved this system when we tested it earlier this year...The Monitor Audio Vector system is a magnificent performer and a great system all round, boasting stylish looks, solid build quality and best of all, a great price. The ideal choice if you're strapped for space and/or cash."
