Monitor Audio Radius 390 Subwoofer

The rigid body of Monitor Audio Radius 390 the sub is almost a perfect cube, on the side walls of which there is a pair of the branded drivers. The diffuser of 10-inch active driver is made by the proprietary C-CAM technology - a ceramic coating is sprayed on a metallic base. Passive membrane of the same caliber is meant not only to expand the playing band, but also effectively dampen vibrations of the main driver. An amplification part works in D class and has 220W of nominal power. Connectors (linear and LFE) are also quite typical for the equipment of this class. In addition, there is the possibility to choose the character of sound (Music, Movie, Impact).

In Impact mode the sound of Monitor Audio Radius 390 is extremely expressive, but at the same time is slightly lightweight in the area of lower bass. Note a confident attack and high speed of playing, due to which there is no mess in bass structure. Switching to Music the sound seemed to be more balanced. In this case the attack is not so hypertrophied and close to natural, sound resolution is higher and relief is expressed more truthfully. The depth of low frequencies in this case is sufficient. Movie mode gives basses a bit more impressiveness and depth at the same time. Such character of sound will be useful for work with modern blockbusters, full of LF effects.
