The Most Capable Silver Series Ever

The Silver AMS 8G is a purpose-built Dolby Atmos® enabled speaker, designed to add a new dimension of immersive height to home cinema systems.

It features a 5.25-inch C-CAM bass/mid driver with advanced RST III cone geometry and a 25mm C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter, carefully engineered to deliver precise, controlled overhead effects that bring soundtracks to life. Its optimised design allows it to sit seamlessly atop the Silver 50 8G or Silver 300 8G, reflecting sound off the ceiling to create a convincing sense of height without the need for dedicated ceiling speakers. A refined crossover ensures smooth, accurate integration between drivers, resulting in cohesive and detailed performance. The rigid, braced cabinet construction, enhanced with Through-Bolt Technology, reduces unwanted resonance for greater clarity.

Available in three contemporary finishes and supplied with magnetic grilles, the Silver AMS 8G combines discreet design with powerful immersive audio capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G is a Dolby Atmos-enabled upfiring speaker module sold as a pair, creating height channel audio effects by directing sound upward to reflect off the ceiling without the need for in-ceiling installation. It is a 2-way sealed speaker featuring a 5.25-inch C-CAM RST III mid-bass driver and a 25mm C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter with an optimised upward-firing waveguide, designed to sit on top of either the Silver 50 8G or Silver 300 8G. The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G is available at Trutone Electronics in Mississauga, Ontario.

How does the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G create Dolby Atmos height effects?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G creates Dolby Atmos height effects by firing sound upward from its position on top of a main speaker, allowing audio to reflect off the ceiling and arrive at the listener's ears from above. The listener's auditory system interprets this ceiling-reflected sound as originating overhead, creating the perception of height layers without requiring physically installed ceiling speakers. The optimised upward-firing waveguide on the Gold Dome tweeter is engineered specifically to maximise the spread and accuracy of this ceiling reflection.

Which speakers does the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G sit on top of?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G is designed to sit on top of the Silver 50 8G standmount or the Silver 300 8G floorstander. Its compact 185 x 185mm footprint and 4.5kg weight per unit make it appropriate for placement on either speaker without compromising stability.

What ceiling height is needed for the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G to work well?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G performs best in rooms with flat or gently sloped ceilings at heights between approximately 2.4 and 3.7 metres (8 to 12 feet). Vaulted, coffered, or highly irregular ceilings scatter the ceiling reflection in ways that reduce the precision of the perceived height effect. In such rooms, in-ceiling or ceiling-mounted speakers are the preferred solution for Dolby Atmos height channels.

Is the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G sealed or ported?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G uses a sealed enclosure, unlike the majority of Silver Series 8G models which use Silent Flow Port Technology. A sealed design is appropriate because the Dolby Atmos height channel does not reproduce deep bass, and a sealed cabinet's tighter, more accurate low-frequency behaviour suits precise height channel reproduction. The sealed enclosure also contributes to the AMS 8G's compact dimensions and low weight.

How does the Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G differ from an in-ceiling Atmos speaker?

The Monitor Audio Silver AMS 8G requires no structural installation, sitting on top of an existing floor-level speaker, while an in-ceiling speaker places the driver physically at ceiling level for a more direct overhead sound source. The Silver AMS 8G is the practical choice for renters, homeowners who prefer not to undertake ceiling work, or rooms with flat ceilings at appropriate heights. In-ceiling speakers are preferred for dedicated home theatre rooms or acoustically irregular spaces where ceiling reflection cannot be relied upon.
