Technical Specification

Positioning

The Radius 45 can be positioned on a shelf by fitting the rubber feet provided to

the underside of the speaker to stop vibrations. Alternatively, you can choose to fix

the Radius 45 to a wall by using the high-quality metal alloy wall bracket provided.

A specially designed Floor Stand can be purchased from your local authorised

Monitor Audio dealer for placement in free space (available soon). To fix your

speaker to the wall when using the wall bracket, please refer to the ‘Wall Bracket

Fixing Instructions’ in the wall bracket carton.

Configuration

The uniquely designed, ultra compact Radius 45 has been primarily designed as a

satellite speaker for use in a multi-channel audio or video system. Combined with

the Radius 360/720 subwoofer, the Radius 45 forms an extremely discreet system

that can be wall or stand mounted to fit in with a modern lifestyle environment. The

rear firing gold C-CAM tweeter is able to spread the sound around the room to

create a wide sound-stage, giving the apparent performance of a much larger

speaker system. Please refer to the section; ‘System Wiring Configurations’ on

page 15. NOTE: When used with an A/V receiver amplifier or processor the

speaker setting should be set to ‘small’ and the crossover frequency set to 120Hz.

If the receiver only has a 80/100 Hz setting it must be noted that the overall power

handling and maximum sound pressure level will be reduced.

NOTE: The Radius 45 is fitted with a PTC device. This protects the drive unit and

tweeter from being over driven. The PTC is a thermal device. When too much

current is passed through it, it gets hot and trips out. If the sound should suddenly

cut out, please turn your system off and allow the PTC to cool down. After a short

while you can then turn your system back on again. If the PTC does trip, turn the

volume down slightly to help prevent it happening again.

Grille Fitment

To help the Radius 45 fit into any life-style environment we include a choice of

silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 45) as standard. You will

find the spare grille enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps.

If you wish to change the grille colour, you can do this by carefully removing the

grille, using your fingers to gradually pull the existing grille off the cabinet. To fit a

grille, ensure the badge is correctly orientated and gently press the grille into place.

Positioning

The Radius 90 can be positioned on a shelf by fitting the rubber feet provided to

the underside of the speaker to stop vibrations. Alternatively, you can choose to fix

the Radius 90 to a wall by using the high-quality metal alloy wall bracket provided,

or by purchasing the specially designed bespoke Radius Floor Stand from your

local authorised Monitor Audio dealer. To fix your speaker to the wall, please refer

to the ‘Wall Bracket Fixing Instructions’ in the wall bracket carton. When using the

wall bracket, we do not recommend connecting the loudspeaker using 4mm plugs

into the ends of the terminals. Instead the connection can be made by unscrewing

the terminal cap and using the through hole. The terminal cap can be retightened

to provide a secure connection.

Configuration

The Radius 90 is extremely versatile and can be used in a number of system

configurations. It is fully magnetically shielded and can be positioned as close to a

TV as you wish. On it’s own it can be used in a two-channel stereo system for use

in a small room, or to provide background music in a kitchen or bedroom.

Alternatively the Radius 90 can be used as part of a Home Theatre system or

multi-channel audio set-up. The Radius 360 or 720 subwoofers can be used with

the Radius 90 to provide deep, powerful bass. Please refer to the section; ‘System

Wiring Configurations’ on page 15.

Grille Fitment

To help the Radius 90 fit into any life-style environment we include a choice of

silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 90) as standard. You will

find the spare grilles enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps.

Positioning

The Radius 270’sare the only floor standing loudspeaker in the Radius line up.

These excellent performing floor-standers, come ready to play straight out of the

box with stabilizing plinths already attached (we do not recommend that you take

this plinth off). To improve the bass response you can fit the acoustic spikes to the

underside of the plinths. These simply screw in to the remaining four holes in the

bottom of each plinth. Caution must be taken when handling the spikes as they

are very sharp. The Radius 270’sshould be positioned no closer than 2 –2.5

metres apart for optimum sound.

Configuration

The Radius 270’scan be used in a number of system configurations. They are fully

magnetically shielded and can be positioned as close to a TV as you wish. On

their own they can be used in a two-channel stereo system for use in a medium

size room. Alternatively the Radius 270’scan be used as part of a Home Theatre

system or multi-channel audio set-up. The Radius 360 or 720 subwoofers can be

used with the Radius 270’sto provide deep, powerful bass. Please refer to the

section; ‘System Wiring Configurations’ on page 15.

Grille Fitment

To help the Radius 270’sfit into any life-style environment we include a choice of

silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 270’s) as standard. You

will find the spare grilles enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps. The

spare grille with the badge should be used on the bottom bass driver of each

cabinet. However this is not essential. You can change them to the mid bass units

if you so wish.
