Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing Monitor Audio loudspeakers. We are confident

they will provide a reliable, high performance sound for many years.

Monitor Audioare a highly respected member of the‘Guild ofMaster Craftsmen’

and we have over 30 years of experience in the art of traditional wood working

techniques and leading edge drive unit technology. This marriage of old and

new brings you the Bronze ReferenceSeries.

At Monitor Audio we pride ourselves in our ability to make the listening

experience as close as possible to the original ‘music’ production.

This is all achieved by only using quality components developed by our award

winning team, and manufactured to very strict standards and tolerances.

Safety Instructions

1. Read Instructions

Please readand follow all of the instructions in this manual before enjoying you

loudspeakers. Any instructions proceeded by this warning triangle MUST be

followed. Failureto do so may cause personal injury ordamagethespeakers.

2. Water & Moisture

The loudspeakers should not be used near water - for example, bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, washing machine, in a wet basement or near a

swimming pool. Under no circumstance should plants or fish bowls be placed

on theproducts.

3. Heat

The speaker/s should not be placed near any heat source such as radiators,

open fires, stoves, direct sunlight and any other appliance that produces heat.

These speakers are designed for use within the home environment. Exposure to

extreme temperatures & humidity when placed on patios or open conditions

couldadversely affect thewooden cabinet.

4. Cleaning

Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce the

Bronze BR loudspeakers. It is our intention that they should provide a lifetime

of musical pleasure. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is all that is required

to remove any dust. Treat them as you would a fine piece of furniture because

that is how they have been designed. Avoid touching the loudspeaker’s drive

units whilstcleaning, as any damage will impair their performance.

Your Bronze BR1

The BR1 remains the ‘baby’ of the Bronze Reference Series. Improved driver

and tweeter technologies help to propel the BR1 ahead of its predecessor.

Overall bandwidth has been increased with usablefrequency response right out

to 30KHz. Improved motor system linearity has resulted in lower distortion and

low frequency damping. The BR1 is now single wired, but improved terminal

quality lifts the overalldesirability of this entry level monitor.

Because the BR1 offers huge performance from a small speaker, it lends itself

to a wide range of positioning options. The BR1 will perform equally well no

matter how it is positioned. The BR1 can be placed on a stand, on a book-shelf,

it can evenbe hung on a wallusinga wall bracket (not supplied). The BR1 has a

¼” UNC threaded insert in the back of the cabinet to allow it to be wall

mounted. Please note that when using a wall bracket we would recommend

using the enclosed port bungs to eliminate ‘bass boom’ and unwanted air

turbulence caused by thebracket.

Your Bronze BR2

Our engineers have been careful not to spoil the talented, multi award winning

B2. Conservative tweaks and general improvements to the crossover

components and drivers have lifted the performance a stage further promising

improved clarity and reduced overall distortion. Overall bandwidth has been

increased with usable frequency response right out to 30KHz. Improved motor

systemlinearity has resultedin lowerdistortion and low frequency damping.

The new BR2 still incorporates the special figure eight internal bracing which

gives a very rigid construction, helping the BR2 to achieve a clean, un-boxy

sound reminiscent of high-end speakers using very, heavy and high-tech

construction techniques.

Your Bronze BR5

BR5 is new to the Bronze Reference Series. The cabinet profile is now slimmer

than its predecessor to offer a more desirable foot print for a typical life-style

setting. The new 5.5” bass drivers replace the 6.5” bass drivers of the B4.

However, bass extension and punch have been maintained and even improved

in terms of overall control. The 2 ½ way design is now optimised with the bass

and bass/ mid-range drivers working in dual chambers, similar to the more

advanced MA designs. Cabinet bracing has been up rated and results in very

rigid construction producing a clean, ‘un boxy’ character. The floor-level

mounted terminal panel now allows easy access without un-necessary trailing

cables.

Unlike the BR2, the BR5 has a reflex port at the rear as well as the front. This is

to provide maximum airflow at low frequencies and reduces air pressure that

can lead tobass compression effects.

Your Bronze BR6

Bronze BR6 is the new 2 ½ way floor-standing flagship of the six-model range

and builds on the considerable musical strengths of the smaller Bronze BR5 by

providing a still wider bandwidth, higher power handling and more effortlessly

realiseddynamics.

The Bronze BR6 employs multiple bracing positioned at critical resonance

nodes. Its slim proportions and smoothly profiled front positively contribute to

sound quality by reducing diffraction effects.

The Bronze BR6 utilises three 6.5-inch MMP® Mk2 drivers. The lower two units

handle bass only, the upper unit provides punchy upper bass and a clear,

natural mid-band right up to the crossover point with the tweeter at 2.6 kHz.

Outrigger Foot Fixing (BR5 and BR6 Only)

The Bronze Reference Series outrigger foot incorporates a spike for use on

carpetedfloors and also,a soft polymerpad (for use on wooden or tiled floors).

BEWARE. The spikes are very sharp, and could cause injury if care is not

taken when handling them.

Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet, or trailing

mains leads that could be damaged by the spikes.

1. You can carefully place the cabinet on it’s top or back to fit the

outriggers. Locate the outrigger foot over the threaded inserts in the

cabinet.

2. Screw these in place usingthesuppliedscrews.

3. Place the soft polymer pad into it’s locating positions. These pads are

for use on hard floors. If you have hard floors, you can now enjoy your

speakers. If you have carpet please continue to follow these

instructions.

4. Fit the spikes into the inserts on the outrigger feet. If you have a very

thick pile carpet, you may need to remove the soft polymer pad to

ensure thespikes fully penetratethe carpet.

5. Carefully turn your speaker back over and check that it is evenly

balanced. If uneven, you can adjust the height in the appropriate

corner by unscrewing the spike slightly. This operation may need to be

repeated a several times to ensure your cabinet is completely level.

When you are happy with the balance of the cabinet, tighten the

locking nut on each spike. The soft polymer pad may need to be

removed to dothis.

Your Bronze BR-LCR

The new Bronze BR-LCR is the vital aesthetic and sonic link in any Bronze

Reference-based home cinema or multi-channel music system, bringing extra

solidity, depth and realism to the front soundstage, especially with dialogue.

Recognising that the centre is often the hardest working speaker in an A/V

system, the new Bronze BR-LCR has been designed with two 5.5-inch MMP®

Mk2 bass-mid drivers that hand over to the C-CAM®tweeter at 2.6KHz. A special

crossover network ensures the Bronze Centre has excellent vertical and

horizontal off axis frequency response, eliminating the need for a 'hot seat'

listening position and integrating smoothly with the Bronze BR1, BR2, BR5, BR6

or BR-FX in a home theatre set-up. With easy amplifier loading, the new Bronze

Centrewillget the best fromeven lowerpoweredA/V amplifiers(receivers).

Your Bronze BR-FX

The BR-FX surround speaker combines amazing performance with modern,

discreet design that can be flush mounted on a wall using the enclosed wall

brackets. The attractive curved grille and end caps conceal a rigid angular

cabinet construction and Monitor Audio’s renowned and highly acclaimed

MMP®Mk2 driver technology and C-CAM®tweeters.

By using low slope linear phase crossover design, Monitor Audio has

engineered the Bronze BR-FX to have seamless integration and almost perfect

180-degree dispersion characteristics. Whilst the bass driver always operates

in phase, the tweeter section can be configured to operate as a bi-pole or di-

pole. This is adjusted by way of a toggle switch (see page 11). To enable the

correctfunction of these speakers, they are left and right handed specific.
