VERITY AUDIO Monsalvat. Absolute reference 3-way column speakers with passive external subwoofers.

Verity Monsalvat: The Master Jewel

The sophisticated and innovative Monsalvat system, designed by Verity Audio, aims to achieve the most authentic musicality and understandable performance to date, regardless of volume levels. Verity Audio engineers spared no effort to achieve absolute musical performance, the ultimate goal of Verity's world-class sound system. It features unique bass reproduction through limit emission and time delay alignment. The system also includes Verity's custom-designed, state-of-the-art PRO-6 digital crossover, which provides the highest standards in filtering and digitisation. Its outstanding array of world-class transducers reproduces every note down to the deepest register with astonishing clarity.

Our sound reproduction studies have shown that a multi-amplified loudspeaker achieves its optimum performance when the entire system is connected to identical amplifiers. Monsalvat subwoofer towers are not amplified by default, giving you complete freedom in your choice of amplification options, allowing you to link all modules with the corresponding electronics.

The Monsalvat acoustic system consists of two main column speakers and up to eight dedicated passive woofers. Each main column speaker includes a tweeter, a midrange woofer and four impressive mid/bass woofers. Together, they cover a frequency range of 60 to 100,000 Hz with an impressive sensitivity of 99 dB. The Monsalvat reproduces extremely low frequencies by means of an innovative and unrivalled technology, where it is possible to stack eight independent subwoofers in the corners, either vertically or horizontally.

The Monsalvat Subwoofers

A single channel can accommodate one, two or up to four subwoofers, and each individual subwoofer or set of subwoofers can be placed in any corner of the room. Each subwoofer enclosure contains an impressive 15-inch woofer designed to Verity Audio's highest specifications. The multiple speakers combine to reproduce bass of unprecedented quality. Verity Audio's subwoofer technology significantly reduces cone vibration, improving nuance in the bass range and providing a previously unattainable level of clarity.

Features:

This unique system is designed to achieve, at all volume levels, the most genuine musicality and clearest bass performance ever experienced.

It requires 6 channels of amplification, which can be amplifiers of the user's choice or based on Verity Audio technology using the excellent Monsalvat AMP-60 or AMP-250 amplification system.

Refined stereo sound system consisting of two main column loudspeaker units, together with two column subwoofer units for differentiated bass and our unique Pro-6 digital processing device.

Art and Craftsmanship

Verity Audio components are built to the highest standards, achieving true excellence in terms of advanced technology, craftsmanship, exemplary manufacturing and authenticity.

Each component is meticulously honed to perfection by skilled craftsmen, whose mission is the integrity and precision of their work, and whose satisfaction comes from creating polished pieces that move with quiet mastery. The quality of workmanship determines not only the functionality of the speaker, but also its durability.

From its enclosure to its vibrant core, each Verity Audio speaker is handcrafted by a dedicated, trained specialist whose skill comes from years of experience. Each component is meticulously handcrafted to a level of quality rarely seen, with attention to even the smallest details.

Design Philosophy

Verity Audio's product design process always follows the same fundamental steps. We start by establishing our goals, then identify optimal solutions, test, implement corrections and start again. This back-and-forth process only stops when we achieve our end goals. To adopt a technology, it must be measurable and bring audible benefits. Our solutions often defy short-term trends, as we value benchmark quality and long-term user satisfaction more highly. Our choices are always backed by extensive research, testing and documented trials.

In addition to research and development activities, Verity's facilities include an impressive listening room where all our products undergo rigorous listening sessions before being released to the market. Our products must not only meet our exacting standards, but also gain the unanimous approval of our listening panel.

The following criteria are essential to Verity's product design philosophy. If these values resonate with you, then Verity Audio products are what you're looking for.

Fundamental Balance

All Verity Audio loudspeakers share one common element: their exceptional "synergy", meaning that the combination and interaction of our core components results in performance far greater than the sum of its parts. While starting with the highest quality components is a good place to start, it is through the highest level of refinement that Verity loudspeakers truly achieve their outstanding performance.

We understand the importance of each element integrating seamlessly into the whole. The secret behind the stunning balance of our products lies in the total integration of even the smallest component.

Passion for Perfection

Our standards of quality and reliability can only be met by those who have fully mastered the engineering, art and musical appreciation of loudspeakers. However, Verity Audio's requirements go beyond these criteria. The entire Verity Audio team strives for the highest achievements in every aspect of the design and manufacturing process.

Skilled and talented craftsmen assemble each Verity Audio loudspeaker. They greatly value their work and strive to make each speaker reliable and aesthetically pleasing. Our quality control process begins with the cabinetmaker and follows the evolution of each product through the entire manufacturing process. Verity Audio technicians pride themselves on never allowing the slightest inconsistency to pass through our factory. This allows us to create loudspeakers that not only guarantee immediate customer satisfaction, but also deliver total satisfaction for years to come.

Seamless Integration

No other loudspeaker manufacturer pays as much attention to the integration of their products into the listening environment. The room where you listen to music is a critical component of your acoustic system and deserves to be considered as an integral and complementary part of your loudspeaker. The rear-facing woofer design of Verity loudspeakers is specially tuned to integrate seamlessly and precisely into your environment.

This configuration, among other clear advantages, significantly reduces woofer distortion through better load management. It also allows for more bass extension than is normally provided by similar rooms or diaphragms.
