Product: Model 1
The OmniMon Model 1 is a floor standing two-way column loudspeaker of contemporary design. Standing just over 1 metre high, it presents a mix of smooth surfaces and stainless steel.
The model 1’s cabinet appears to float just above a steel and aluminium plinth. This provides the speaker with its own mechanical ground, so there is no need for floor spikes. A massive central supporting pillar, also solid steel, runs right through the cabinet and directly connects the main driver’s magnet structure to the plinth. The main driver is exposed on the top of the cabinet, as it needs to be. It is topped by a turned stainless steel cap and surrounded by the ribbon housing. The ribbon is de-coupled from the rest of the system, mounted in a counterbalancing collar housing.
The crossover is in an external box, connected by an umbilical cable. The system can be bi-wired or bi-amplified. While of slightly lower than average efficiency (85dB), the Model 1s present a very easy and genuine 8Ω load to amplifiers. Amplifiers of 20w per channel upwards are suitable, including valve (tube) amplifiers. They will play loudly enough for most peoples’ needs in most rooms.
