The Experts Sound would like to invite everyone to drop by and listen to the new Monitor Audio Hyphn.

Stereonet Review

At the heart of the Hyphn is the so-called 'M-Array', which is the brainchild of Technical Director, Michael Hedges. It is a cluster of six 50mm midrange drivers, surrounding the single Micro Pleated Diaphragm III ribbon-type tweeter, as already seen in the Platinum Series 3G floorstanding loudspeaker. The midrange drivers feature Monitor Audio's Rigid Diaphragm Technology III cones, introduced last year. The idea is to have a virtual point source, where the lion's share of the frequency range emanates from one place in space. Having six dinky drivers means you can locate them very close to the tweeter, creating the equivalent of a coaxial treble/mid driver. The total surface area of the six small transducers is about 75cm2, which is approximately equivalent to the surface area of two midrange drivers from Monitor Audio's Silver range, or a single Platinum midrange driver.
Michael Johnson explains: “Having six individual drivers means that power handling is extremely high, giving a lot of headroom before thermal compression kicks in. The small cones and surrounds mean that any cone breakup or surround resonances are pushed well above the crossover to the tweeter. For example midrange output is smooth to well over 10kHz while the mid to tweeter crossover is around 3kHz, this allows for a smooth crossover between the drivers which helps the overall frequency response, while the off-axis performance remains consistent and smooth.”
