The Silver W-12’s over-specified driver assembly employs a hugely powerful magnet system and massive voice coil to deliver immense power from the compact sealed enclosure. A heavy-duty die-cast basket not only holds the massive system rigidly together, but also aids thermal sinking to keep the driver cool. For the Silver W-12 subwoofer, Monitor Audio specified a 500-watt Class-D amplifier and power supply module from highly regarded amplifier specialists Hypex; this provides incredible headroom and uses advanced switched-mode power conversion techniques. Powerful DSP has been employed to deliver the very best performance and filter characteristics, whilst running the unique APC (Automatic Position Correction) system. The APC is a completely in-house development, designed to automatically correct for room modes. It uses a microphone and test tones to calculate detrimental room modes and correct the frequency response, optimising it for the room and position. This is a simple and quick automated process that is a complete eye-opener for the installer and ensures that the user can enjoy subwoofer quality without positioning restrictions. At the heart of the Silver W-12 is a sophisticated 32-bit microcontroller, which monitors performance thousands of times per second, ensuring that the system can deliver the best possible bass. It will never overload or distort, even at maximum power.
