Monopole® design started out
as a bias towards bare wire only.
Since then Monopoles® now fall
into two categories:
Bare Wire Bias
Banana and Spade Bias.
Monopoles® that are suited for bare
wire only are:
M11
This model is also excellent for spade connectors.
Because the spade connector connects directly into the Monopole®
body.
The M11 is not ideal for banana connectors
because the banana signal must transit the tightening bolt before entering
the Monopole® body; Hence an extra transition interface is in the signal
path.
Though the M11 will accommodate banana connectors
and does reproduce sound // audio excellently as well with the banana connector;
it is recommended principally for bare wire and spade.
The M11 accommodates the FM series of spades which are custom made
by Bocchino Audio and are fabricated in Sterling Silver.
Monopoles® that are best suited
to bananas and spade connectors:
M13
M14
M16
These Monopoles® accommodate the
banana connector and the Spade lug directly into the Monopole®
body and there is no transition interface from their connection into the
Monopole®
to the internal appliance wire connection.
Monopoles® biased towards the FM
series of Spades:
M11
M13
M14
These models are the top shelf of the Monopole®
design team. They all accommodate the FM3
and FM2 Spade Lugs.
By choosing the correct Monopole®
for your needs
All Monopole® will accommodate bare wire.
The M11 & M12 are better suited to this task; but the others will accommodate
bare wire with no compromise in performance.
