Reference series

The Manuka MR Reference HiFi Rack range by Montaudio is a modular, highly sophisticated HiFi rack system,

with innovative multi-directional vibration dampening and control structures incorporated within its luxurious

Walnut and Birch wood shelves and heavyweight dampened solid stainless-steel legs.

A choice of 170mm, 220mm, 270mm or 320mm leg packs in elegant satin finish are available for shelf height customisation, whilst each luxurious Walnut and Birch wood shelf are generously sized at 650mm by 550mm, with a thickness of 42mm to handle the heaviest of equipment at up to 100kg on each shelf.

 The Stewart SR Reference Speaker Cable has been designed to draw a similar response from every listener via our most sophisticated design yet. Based on a symmetrical architecture, four bundles of conductors are dedicated to High-Mid & Low frequencies. 

Premium Conductors and Formulations

The High-Mid bundle employs ultra-premium Monocrystalline Silver strands in combination with Monocrystalline Copper strands, carefully formulated to achieve a high homogeneity for pristine & smooth tonal delivery. Dedicated Low frequency bundle employs Long Crystalline Oxygen Free Copper strands in a multi-core design for tight & voluminous bass. All conductors are insulated with high-quality Polyethylene PE dielectric and filled with air-tubes.

In-House Developed Connectors

Leaving no stone unturned, the Stewart SR are factory terminated with in-house designed & developed connectors, with a selection of BFA Banana and Spade connectors on each end. Meticulously designed from scratch, everything from mould-making, bend-angle adjustment, final finishes to the testing of these connectors were all conducted under supervision. Fabricated from a single solid piece of Pure Red Copper with 24K Nickle-Free Gold-Plated, the Connectors are covered by brass and natural walnut wood housing, with both the brass case and screws also plated in 24K Gold.

Optimized signal contact with vibration-reduced cable-connector Termination

Extensive efforts have gone in to optimally preserve the highly engineered conductor crystalline structure, where the designers have chosen to depart from the norms of soldering conductors to connectors. Instead, an in-house designed and developed connector is cold-welded to the conductor through an in-house process, which holds the conductor to the connector without the use of solder. This process avoids any use of solder which alters the crystalline structure of the conductor through high temperature, as well as avoiding added impurities in the solder which are both detrimental to the sound signature.

​

Additionally, the connector, made of high-quality brass, is paired with 24K Gold-plated steel screws and custom dampeners which spreads the holding force over a large contact area. This ensure both a secure and uniform contact even as the cables are subjected to equipment vibrations. The net effect is an uplift in clarity and separation worthy of its Reference Range status.
