Luxury design and sound Gold series bass speaker from Monitor Audio.

  • Power: 600W.
  • Hypex Class-D built-in amplifier.
  • Automatic Position Correction function.
  • SubConnect application support.

All of the rumble and wallop of Hollywood's most action-packed blockbusters is yours from the potent Gold W12 Subwoofer, in which a 12" (305 mm) long-throw driver is reinforced by a pair of Auxiliary Bass Radiators (ABR) and powered by 600 W of Class D amplification. The power and scale this combination is capable of generating can be felt just as easily as it can be heard, thanks to its prodigious 20 Hz bass extension.

Gold W12 has a number of fine-tuning options, and thanks to Monitor Audio's Automatic Position Correction (APC) system, the subwoofer can work at its optimum no matter where it is positioned. And this is no blunt instrument – ​​Gold W12 is just as capable of delivering all the music and harmonic detail of a kettle drum to the earth-shattering power of a volcanic explosion.

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 equalizer settings. Fine-tuning can be done by adjusting the frequency, slope, trim and equalizer filters for each preset. The Night Mode actively reduces the dynamic range of louder sections according to the level the listener desires.

This product is now available to use with home theater design software, The CEDIA Designer. Read more .
