For lovers of deep and refined bass notes, the Gold W12 is a must-have addition to any speaker set-up. Every soundtrack is reinforced by the deep and balanced depth effortlessly delivered by our premium subwoofer. 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 are 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 several 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’s 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 presets per input, including modes for; Flat/Music/Movie and Impact equalizer settings. Fine-tuning can be made by adjusting the frequency, slope, trim, and equalizer filters for each pre-set. The Night Mode actively reduces the dynamic range of louder sections according to the level the listener desires.

The gold standard in bass
Featuring an immense three-driver subwoofer array, 600-watt Class-D amp, and sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processing), the Monitor Audio Gold W12 sets a new standard in the bass definition. Factor in the sumptuous, quality finish, and the Gold W12 becomes an irresistible force.
APC for the perfect response in your room
APC (Automatic Position Correction) is a unique Monitor Audio technology that uses a built-in microphone and test tones to optimize the subwoofer's response. At the touch of a button, the frequency response is ideally tailored for your room - so no more excessive bass 'boom'.
Triple driver array with 600-watt amp for huge bass
For sheer window-rattling bass, few can match the Gold W12. The long-throw, active 12” woofer is reinforced by a pair of ABRs (Auxiliary Bass Radiators) that help drop the bass to a prodigious 20Hz extension. Matched to a mighty 600 watt, Hypex Class-D amp, the Gold W12 simply keeps going with ample reserve for the most dynamic movie soundtracks and music events.
Highly controlled sound
As well as being powerful, the Gold W12 is also highly controlled. Using a C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) cone that's rigid yet light gives a responsive bass. The triple suspended driver with oversized voice coil gives ideal linearity for perfect control - even when the cone is fully extended.
Tuneable sound with SubConnect
Connect up by USB and you can use Monitor Audio’s SubConnect app for a wide range of setting tweaks. Four, fully configurable settings include modes for Flat/Music/Movie and Impact. Fine-tune these by adjusting the frequency, slope, trim, and EQ filters and you have a subwoofer that’s perfectly tailored to your tastes. If you want to rein in the sub for late-night listening, then simply select ‘Night Mode’ for reduced dynamics.
Choice of luxurious finishes
Once you’ve decided on this subwoofer, the hardest part is choosing which of the sumptuous finishes to pick. Choose Dark Walnut or Piano Ebony for a rich, traditional style or Piano Gloss Black or Satin White for a more contemporary appeal. Whichever color you choose, you can be guaranteed Monitor Audio’s usual immaculate fit and finish.
