Manger C1 Reference Studio Monitor

Manger C1 Reference Studio Monitor

INCORRUPABLE MASTERS

The speaker stands are not included.

Music knows no boundaries. The delicate timbres of a Gregorian chant, the powerful dynamics of a symphony, the whipping guitar riffs of a metal band – the active c1 compact monitors master all of this masterfully. These loudspeakers serve music so neutrally that renowned recording studios swear by the c1 as objective tools.

Own ways

The star-shaped Manger sound transducer radically breaks technologically with conventional chassis. The result: an impressive bandwidth that eliminates the need for the inherently flawed separation of frequencies in the midrange, as is common with conventional loudspeakers. Human hearing is particularly sensitive in this area. The patented Manger sound transducer, on the other hand, achieves an impulse fidelity and precision that is far superior to conventional loudspeakers.

Award-winning design

Gold for the c1 – the loudspeakers were awarded the internationally renowned “Focus Open Gold” design award.

Design: Stefan Harlé

Strong team

Just as in high-performance sport only a well-rehearsed team leads to the winner's podium, the flawless interaction of all elements paves the way for the c1 to become the world's best in sound. Only components of the highest quality, which were determined in intensive listening tests, perform their function in the c1. The robust housing offers the chassis and the sophisticated electronics optimal conditions. Cabinet resonances, which lead to discoloration in the sound, are prevented.

Active without compromise

The c1 offer all the advantages of modern active technology. Woofers and Manger sound transducers are each powered by their own amplifier. The division of labor makes it possible to coordinate the chassis and amplifiers with one another. Intelligent filters in bass, mid and high allow the c1 to be uncompromisingly adapted to the individual requirements of the installation and room acoustics. And thanks to generous power reserves, the c1 master every challenge with confidence.

Perfect in form and function

The grace and timeless elegance of the c1 are the result of intensive development work down to the smallest detail. The softened edges underline the sophisticated appearance of the speakers, but at the same time have a positive effect on the radiation behavior. Connecting and handling the c1 is extremely easy, all controls are freely accessible and the electronic components are protected by intelligent protective circuits.

Different cases and colors

As a highly specialized manufacturer, Manger offers an almost unlimited variety of the finest veneers and color options. You can configure your speakers in all RAL or NCS colors.

Color selection

What are RAL colors?

RAL colors are a palette of standardized colors that are used worldwide.

What are NCS colors?

NCS colors (Natural Color System) also belong to a standardized color system that is intended to reflect the human perception of color.

Difference between RAL and NCS color systems?

The RAL color system has predefined colors and the NCS color system allows colors to be mixed as desired.

Housing versions

You can get all RAL or NCS colors in satin or high gloss finishes. If you wish, you can also get a real wood veneer in a satin finish.

Expandable

If you need to provide sound to larger rooms, supplement the speakers with the c1 LF modules. The compact bass units are simply placed on the speakers.

Always on top

Solid stands bring the c1 to the ideal height and put it in the right light.
