    • RMS Power: 100 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 100 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 48 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 20 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Sensitivity: 88 decibels
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Whats Included
  • MTX Monitor Series Monitor5i - speakers
  • MTX Monitor Series Monitor5i - speakers

Q: What is the impedance on these speakers

A: 8 ohms nominal impedance.

Q: How well would these work with older, low-powered amps and receivers of 20-40 watts per channel? It's hard to find truly efficient speakers these days that don't require lots of wattage driving them.

A: The Recommended amplifier power range for these Speakers is 15W to 100W RMS. I Hope that this information has helped ! oh! almost forgot to mention sensitivity 88db @ 2.83v/1m, They really Sound Great for the Price.

Q: Are they active or passive? Thanks

A: These speakers are passive. You will need an amplifier to power them.

Q: whats in the box, any wiring? Thanks

A: There is no wiring included. You will need to purchase separate. Consult with the Tech that assist's you with your purchase and they will help you select the correct wiring based on your audio set-up. I thoroughly enjoy my speakers, by the way. Great choice.
