From soft whispers to screaming guitars and massive special effects, most of what you hear in a movie or concert video happens at the center of your screen. So you need a speaker at the heart of your high-end home theater system that delivers extremely accurate vocals and full-range sound. Monitor Audio's Gold GC350 center channel speaker covers it all, bringing on-screen action to life in larger rooms. The Gold GC350 offers all of the goodness that made the previous generation of Gold speakers Monitor Audio Gold speakers so exceptional, but adds refinements for even better performance. This center channel's design blends in perfectly with Monitor's line of Gold series speakers, for building a seamlessly matched home cinema system.

Continuing advancements in driver design for even better sound

Ultra-fast ribbon tweeters (their daddy was a jet engine)

For their latest Gold series speakers, Monitor Audio again relies on their acclaimed ribbon transducers. Made from ultra-thin layers of a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components, these ultra low-mass ribbons effortlessly deliver extended high-frequency response out to 60,000 Hz. To increase performance even further, Monitor has tightened manufacturing tolerances to allow these capable drivers to offer consistently more open and transparent sound. Greater production uniformity also means closer tweeter matching in a system, providing enhanced imaging and a greater sense of detail. 

Newly designed woofer cones

The speaker's tight, responsive bass and dynamic midrange come courtesy of Monitor's twin 6-1/2" C-CAM woofers and 4" midrange with RST® (Rigid Surface Technology). Created from the same lightweight alloy as the tweeters, these drivers are strengthened and stiffened even further using a dimpled RST cone surface. The cone also takes the form of a continuous radiating dish, eliminating the central voice-coil opening and dust cap to allow a longer voice coil and larger motor to sit behind the cone. This more efficient assembly provides greater drive force, longer excursions, and lower distortion, for cleaner, more extended and accurate bass definition.

Side-by-side listening tests at Monitor Audio comparing previous models demonstrated that the new Gold models sound more open and dynamic, with a soundstage that is both taller and wider than the previous model.

Attention to detail, inside and out

Wired for transparent sound

Meticulous engineering and hours of focused listening go into each Gold series speaker. The Gold C350's woofers, midrange, and tweeter are connected to an equally sophisticated crossover network made with audiophile-grade components. Monitor also chose their Pureflow® Silver cabling to make all internal connections. Together, these refinements give you a smoother, flatter frequency response, more powerful dynamics, and faster transients, for sound with real presence and immediacy.

Vault-like cabinet construction

Instead of conventional mounting screws, each driver is held in place using a single tensioned rod, or through-bolt, that threads into its back plate, then secures to the back of the cabinet. The bolt not only acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box coloration, it also eliminates the need for traditional driver mounting hardware, effectively decoupling the driver and front baffle to eliminate another source of unwanted resonance.

Monitor Audio speakers have long been known for their sturdy, vault-like cabinet construction. The Gold C350's well-damped, cross-braced enclosure features a curved profile with large-radius edges. This design helps further increase cabinet rigidity while reducing both external diffraction and internal standing waves that can color sound and reduce accuracy.
