Monitor Audio Gold W12 Video Review:

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.
