NEW YORK, June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance headphones, connectivity solutions and A/V accessories, is redefining the loudspeaker for the digital age with the debut of its ClarityHD™ Model One High Definition Multi-Media Speaker Monitor (SRP: $749.95/pair).  Featuring a built-in high-powered digital amplifier and iPod^® dock, the all-in-one speaker system delivers an unprecedented level of higher-definition "big sound" for a bookshelf sized speaker, with all the advanced connectivity options to satisfy the needs of today's most ahead-of-the-curve audio consumer. The ClarityHD Model One will begin shipping worldwide in mid July 2011.

The Monster^® ClarityHD Model One can be set up easily in just seconds and provides room-filling sound right out of the box.  It will be available in several designer colors, including automotive grade gloss yellow, and red to start, with additional colors coming this fall. The Model One is ideal for use in the living room, den, bedroom or kitchen, as well as for in-home or professional music studio use.

Say Goodbye to the Stack of Gear in the Middle of Your Room…

Head Monster Noel Lee noted: "We named our new ClarityHD speaker system the Model 'One' for the simple reason that it's the first of its kind to combine such powerful audiophile-grade performance with total user simplicity and all the connectivity features demanded by today's consumer – not yesterday's. The way we listen to music has changed.  We no longer build our family rooms around a stack of gear in the center of the room, and we don't want the intrusion of huge speakers and other components.  And thanks to portable, digital music players like the iPod^®, we now keep vast music collections in our pockets. The Model One delivers the kind of big sound you wouldn't expect from a bookshelf speaker, and with the iPod as heart of the system, you can listen to all your favorite music in 'higher definition.'"  

Specifically Designed for High Resolution Playback in the Digital Realm

The Monster ClarityHD Model One is engineered and meticulously voiced to maximize the audio quality of today's digital music, with a clear focus on articulation, intelligibility, accuracy, dynamics, and realistic soundstaging. Its breakthrough audio performance is made possible thanks to the inclusion of advanced 6.5-inch bass drivers with 4-layer voice coils for deep extended low end response and proprietary soft-dome tweeters for smooth articulate highs with superior inner detail.

Full Complement of Inputs for Virtually Every Source

Notably, the ClarityHD™ Model One is designed to offer unprecedented flexibility and listening options while satisfying the growing need for better sounding music in today's digital universe. The speaker's full complement of inputs accommodates virtually any type of source from consumer audio and video gear to professional recording and DJ gear as well. In addition to the iPod dock, a full complement of versatile inputs are included for total user flexibility and "future readiness," including: a mini-jack input for smart phones, MP3 players and computers; a balanced 1/4–inch TRS input for recording and DJ applications; RCA inputs for any audio or video device; and a StreamCast™ Port for future technologies such as our soon to be introduced optional Bluetooth module that will allow you to connect any Bluetooth source wirelessly to the Model One.  

The High Performance Loudspeaker Re-Defined

With its on board high-powered digital amplification and digital crossovers, the ClarityHD Model One is a true audiophile-grade system. Among its outstanding features are:  

• Simple setup – no stack of gear and complex connections required;
• Bi-amp design for effortless reproduction of demanding music;
• Proprietary soft-dome tweeters for smooth articulate highs with superior inner detail;
• Crossed-over in the digital domain for rich detailed soundstaging and reduced signal degradation;
• Crystal clear dynamic highs, balanced mid range, and deep bass from a compact package.

The audiophile grade ClarityHD Model One Speaker joins the company's family of high-performance Monster products designed to elevate the music listening experience at home and on-the-go, ranging from the industry's most advanced power conditioning products to ultimate-quality headphones such as the Turbine Pro™ In-Ear Speakers^™, the first in-ear headphones geared for use by music professionals and audiophiles.
