CONFIDENCE MONITORS INTRODUCTION
Condence Monitors Introduction
The Confidence Monitor Range is a series of rack-mount audio monitors,
combining the latest DSP technology with outstanding audio enclosure design
to produce monitors of the highest standards with exceptional sound quality,
a comprehensive feature set and good looks in the rack.
Detail In The Design
In the design of the product, every care has been taken to ensure the best and most
accurate reproduction of the audio sources.
In a 1U rack, the propogation of high power sound waves in such a small enclosure could
have a tendency to produce rattles or move components, but the Condence Monitors
have been designed to ensure that their audio performance is not compromised.
Anti-Vibration
A welded, sealed and painted steel case with milled aluminium fascia provides exceptional
rigidity and has been used to ensure that there are no extraneous metallic rattles. The lid
is sealed with extensive thin foam cut-outs to provide damping to the lid and multi-point
screw xings are used to ensure lid rigidity.
Accurate Sound System
The speaker system comprises a three-way arrangement with two mid/high frequency
speakers providing excellent stereo imaging and a separately driven, forward facing, dual
magnet, mono bass driver.
Custom-moulded, proled, HF enclosures are used to minimise standing waves and
eliminate response peaks, and acoustic damping in the HF enclosures is used to reduce
colouration, eectively creating a separate, sealed, innite-bae enclosure for each driver.
Each of the drivers is magnetically shielded so that the monitors are perfectly safe to
use near CRTs and TFT displays and each speaker uses a separate, highly ecient class-D
switching amplier.
Even cable lengths to and from the speaker enclosures have been kept short to reduce any
potential microphonic induction.
