MONITOR AUDIO’S MOST VERSATILE SPEAKER YET
Legacy U.K. brand Monitor Audio is showing no signs of slowing down with the announcement of its latest loudspeaker, named the Vecta V240.
Perhaps one of the most versatile speakers we've seen, the Vecta V240 is not only IP55 weatherproof rated meaning it can be used indoors or out, but it can also be wall or corner mounted.
According to Monitor Audio:
The stylish, compact and versatile Monitor Audio Vecta V240 loudspeaker intelligently combines aesthetics with innovation and high-quality professional audio performance that we are known for as a company,
Part of Monitor Audio's Custom Installation line, the Vecta V240 is versatile and easy to install thanks to its cleverly designed brackets and a single automatic connection system that allows for either horizontal or vertical mounting.
The mounting system also allows for tilting the speaker 25 degrees when it is attached to the wall bracket, or another 32.5 degrees (with the optional wedge) to ensure the best sound depending on the application.
The Vecta V240 features two 4-inch C-CAM cone drivers on the curved fascia providing a controlled sound field. A centrally mounted Gold C-CAM 25mm tweeter is horn-loaded to ensure a smooth and balanced frequency response.
The drivers are housed in a high-density, completely sealed ABS enclosure and mounted behind a stainless steel grille designed to withstand humid weather conditions.
The Vecta V240 loudspeaker has rated at a nominal impedance of four ohms and a frequency range stated as 70 Hz to 25 kHz. The sensitivity is 88 dB (1W / 1 m), and Monitor Audio recommends an amplifier between 25 and 100 watts.
Monitor Audio's Vecta V240 will be available in black or white from March and will sell for $685.00 RRP each. Brackets are sold separately for $61.00 RRP each.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
