Introduction
The Gold W12 subwoofer can produce more articulate bass from a smaller cabinet than before. The
powerful long throw 12” driver is augmented by two auxiliary bass radiators, precisely tuned to assist the
main driver in delivering thunderous bass lines right down to 20Hz. The bass driver assembly employs a
hugely powerful magnetic system and massive voice coil to deliver the immense power and scale required
for serious home theatre or music reproduction.
A 600-watt Class-D amplifier (Hypex manufactured) is perfectly matched to a high current switching power
supply to ensure continuous delivery of high sound pressure levels, whilst accurately reproducing peak
transients. A powerful DSP has been employed to deliver the best performance and filter characteristics
whilst running the unique APC system. The APC (Automatic Position Correction) system has been designed
by Monitor Audio to automatically correct for different types of rooms. It uses a microphone and test tones
to calculate detrimental room modes and automatically correct frequency response, optimizing it for the
room and position. This ensures the user can enjoy the subwoofer without the restrictions of positioning. A
sophisticated 32bit micro-controller, monitoring the sound levels thousands of times per second, ensures
the woofer delivers the best possible performance.
Settings adjustment is provided by the innovative controller mounted on the cabinet top panel, or by using
Monitor Audio’s proprietary ‘SubConnect’ software. The settings provide four fully configurable user pre-
sets per input, including modes for; Flat/Music/Movie and impact equaliser settings. Fine-tuning can be
made by adjusting the frequency, slope, trim and equaliser filters for each pre-set. The Night Mode actively
reduces the dynamic range of louder sections according to the level the listener desires.
