Monacor Kodex Lautsprecherbausatz

Now and then, it's time to explore the limits of what's possible!
In speaker DIY suggestions - and even more so in finished speakers - this quickly leads to boxes with flagship character and almost unaffordable effort.
First applies certainly to the KODEX. That the effort remains realistic is, in a proposal from MONACOR INTERNATIONAL, so to speak, in the nature of things.
Nevertheless, the KODEX is not a classic beginner's kit but rather suitable to be at least an initial final solution - of course, only until the urge to build strikes again.
Until then, however, the reward for the effort is a dream speaker that gets so much right that you will be fascinated time and again. Whether it's modern music material at realistic volume or classical music with an impressively reproduced spatiality, the virtues of the KODEX are always present.
The enormous bandwidth, distortion-free sound at the highest level, endless dynamics, perfect tonality that truly reveals even the smallest differences in timbre - you can expect all these qualities. At the same time, you build more than the sum of these values. With the KODEX, you build a large speaker. The concept of the KODEX is a 3-way double bass D'Appolito arrangement in a cabinet that is designed as a borderline case between a transmission line and a bass reflex system. This results in a minimum of modulation distortions in the midrange, an optimally stable radiation pattern, and a deep bass foundation that is built with a precision unattainable with significantly smaller boxes. The KODEX sounds sometimes downright slim and astonishingly dry when properly dampened to match the room (more on that later), until a real low-frequency signal is reproduced that truly makes the walls shake (and that you don't even notice with many other speakers).
The chassis used by MONACOR are selected according to a simple principle: always only the best! Of course, the best for this purpose. An MSH-116/4 may seem simple at first glance; in a dual arrangement above high-tech 20 cm woofers like the current long-throw carbon diaphragm chassis SPH-225C, there are probably no superior drivers. Perfect is simply perfect. With the 28 mm silk dome DT-28N, the team is then complete. More than such a tweeter with very deep applicability, high efficiency, and brilliance capability without limitation is not needed to build a high-fidelity speaker for exclusive demands.
