MONITOR AUDIO GOLD W12 5G SUBWOOFER HI FI 12"
For lovers of deep and refined bass, the Gold W12 is an indispensable addition to any speaker configuration. Every soundtrack is enhanced by the deep and balanced depth delivered effortlessly by this premium subwoofer. All the rumble and roar of the richest action-packed Hollywood hits thanks to the powerful 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 that this combination is capable of generating can be perceived as easily as it can be heard, thanks to its prodigious 20 Hz bass extension. Gold W12 has a range of fine-tuning options and, thanks to Monitor Audio's APC (Automatic Position Correction) system, the subwoofer can perform at its best, regardless of where it is positioned. And this is no ordinary tool: Gold W12 is equally capable of delivering all the music and harmonic detail of a drum to the earth-shattering power of a volcanic explosion. Control of settings is provided by the innovative controller mounted on the top panel of the cabinet or using Monitor Audio's proprietary "SubConnect" software. The settings provide four fully configurable user presets per input, including modes for; Flat/Music/Movie and Impact equalizer settings. Fine-tuning can be achieved by adjusting the frequency filters, slope, trim and equalizer for each preset. Night mode actively reduces the dynamic range of the louder sections based on the level desired by the listener.
