Monoprice already offers plenty of affordable audio gear, but with its new Monolith line unveiled at CEDIA 2016, it’s adding planar magnetic headphones, its new Air Motion speaker series, and more to that list.
The new Monolith M560 might be substantially cheaper than other planar magnetic headphones on the market, but that doesn’t mean Monoprice has skimped on features.
The new M1060 is a full size open-back headphone, similar to offerings from Audeze, Oppo, and others. While those companies sell their models for as much as $3,000, the M1060 will sell for just $300.
If you’re looking to power the new planar magnetic headphones, Monoprice has a new stereo tube headphone amp selling for just $140, and featuring a 24bit/96kHz USB DAC.
The Monolith line also includes the new Air Motion speaker series. Part of this series is a compact bookshelf speaker featuring a 5.25-inch driver on the bottom and a folded-ribbon tweeter on top, something usually found in fairly expensive speakers. This set, however, sells for $200 each, or $400 a pair.
The Air Motion series also includes a three-way center channel speaker for $300.
Stepping up a notch, the Monolith K-BAS Reference Series speakers are capable of reproducing bass as low as 33 to 35 Hz. They also feature an inverted midrange woofer and tweeter design with a bass port on the bottom. The Monolith K-BAS Reference Series sells for $250 per speaker, or $500 for a pair.
