Monitor Audio Bronze Cinema 500
Overview
The combination of the Bronze 500, Bronze C150, Bronze FX and the Bronze W10 make up the Monitor Audio Cinema 500 – speaker system. Together, they enable superior and exceptional sound in your own home. They are available in black or white finishes.
The bronze 500
Spearheading the Bronze Series, the Bronze 500 features the largest speaker enclosure of any Bronze speaker. The cabinet houses a 25 mm diameter C-CAM gold tweeter with the UD (Uniform Dispersion) waveguide and two newly developed 8″/203 mm C-CAM drivers for increased low frequency response.
Standing on its sturdy steel outrigger legs, the nearly three-foot-tall Bronze 500 exudes a graceful presence that beautifully complements its impressively detailed music reproduction.
The Bronze 500 delights both music and movie lovers with its powerful, natural and at the same time differentiated reproduction. It is a real eye-catcher, yet perfectly fits into the decor of a modern room.
Equipment
- Monitor Audio C-CAM gold tweeter with new Uniform Dispersion (UD) waveguide for realistic, lifelike sound
- C-CAM woofer/midrange with new conical diaphragm geometry and Damped Concentric Mode (DCM) technology for a deeper, fuller yet clean and precise sound
- Designed for best sound – Optimized for perfect music and movie playback
- Rear HiVe II bass reflex for easy setup without sacrificing sound quality
- Acoustically transparent hexagonal dispersion grilles in front of the tweeter, inspired by the design of the award-winning Monitor Audio Silver and Gold series
- High quality gold plated bi-wire terminals
- Internal cabling made of silver-coated, oxygen-free Pureflow copper for highest signal purity throughout the chain
- Acoustically transparent, magnetic speaker covers for an elegant appearance
- Dolby Atmos® Enabled speaker Bronze AMS placeable on speaker for full home cinema
- Sturdy steel outrigger feet provide a stable stand. Usable on both carpet (with spikes) and hard floors such as tile and parquet (with rubber feet)
The bronze C150
The Bronze C150 fits into the complete Bronze series both visually and acoustically and is the secret centerpiece in the home cinema. The 25mm CAM Gold tweeter and the two 5 ½”/140mm CAM woofers/midrange drivers impress with an exceptionally wide dispersion pattern that guarantees the full home cinema and clear, precise dialogue.

The Bronze FX
Nothing enhances the home cinema like a purpose-built surround speaker. The Bronze FX’s compact, elegant design includes two 25mm CAM Gold tweeters with UD waveguide and a 5 ½”/140mm C-C-CAM woofer/midrange that work together to deliver the sonic magic of true home cinema.
We are true masters of surround speaker design and the new Bronze FX takes this experience to a whole new level.

Simple, flush wall mounting – thanks to recessed connection terminals - “Keyhole” wall mount integrated for easy wall mounting
Switchable dipole/bipole operation – sound the way you like it - Closed cabinet for excellent reproduction when mounted in confined spaces or directly on the wall
The bronze W10
The Bronze W10’s long-throw 10″/250mm C-CAM drivers have been combined with a passive 10″/250mm radiator in the base to increase sound pressure, deliver even more low end, and breathe even more life into any movie or piece of music.
Engineers have acoustically optimized the driver and bass radiator by reducing the moving masses and improving the tuning in the system. This results in dramatically improved transient response of the drivers. Kick drums and explosions are given significantly more pressure and precision. In addition, thanks to improved rubber feet, more energy is transmitted directly into the room instead of being lost through mechanical vibrations through the floor and walls.
The Bronze W10 is a great addition to any room.
