Design and Build: Premium Craftsmanship in a Compact Package

Encased in a rigid die-cast alloy cabinet with a high-gloss piano lacquer finish in either metallic black or pearl white, the Apex A10 is as much a visual statement as it is a technical marvel. Magnetic grilles with no visible fixings ensure a sleek presentation, while flexible mounting options (wall, ceiling or table-top) seamlessly integrate into any environment.

Sound Signature: Precision, Clarity, and Bass that Belies its Size

Powered by a 5 1/2" C-CAM driver with RST dimpled cone geometry and a 1" Gold C-CAM tweeter, the Apex A10 delivers an expansive frequency response from 60 Hz to 35 kHz. High frequencies shimmer with detailed air and sparkle, mid-range vocals and instruments are rendered with lifelike authenticity, and the HiVe II reflex port system provides rapid, punchy bass that surpasses expectations for its compact form.

• High-frequency extension up to 35 kHz for sublime treble detail.
• Rich mid-range with exceptional resolution and minimal distortion.
• Dynamic, controlled bass courtesy of the HiVe II port design.

Technology Under the Hood

The Apex A10 benefits from Monitor Audio’s decades of loudspeaker expertise. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has optimised the cabinet and driver integration, while the C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) drivers offer an ideal balance of stiffness and lightness. A meticulously designed 3.0 kHz crossover ensures seamless blending between the mid-bass driver and tweeter, allowing peak power handling of 100 W RMS and a maximum SPL of 110.8 dBA.
