Monitor Audio Silver W12 Subwoofer
Monitor Audio have installed a 500 Watt Class D amplifier in the Silver W-12 subwoofer from leading Digital amplifier specialists - Hypex.
Their unique technologies result in amazing headroom, dynamics and yet highly refined power output.
The APC (Automatic Position Correction) is a recent Monitor Audio development that is designed to automatically correct for room modes using a microphone and test tones to calculate the ideal frequency response, optimising it for the room and position. It is a simple procedure to enable the end user to get the best performance from the subwoofer.
Powerful on board DSP is employed to deliver filtering alongside the Monitor Audio APC (Automatic Position Correction) system that routinely detects and eliminates detrimental room acoustics. To prevent distortion and the possibility of the unit being over driven, a sophisticated 32-bit micro-controller at the heart of the subwoofer takes measurements thousands of times per second, so you can sit back and enjoy deeply powerful yet clean bass, even from the most explosive sounds.
