Monitor Audio Platinum PLW215 II Subwoofer, Piano Ebony

Full Description

• High Power Amplification

  

The PLW215 II will help you to re-live the air-bending effect of Mother Nature’s own subwoofer within your listening room. Twin 15” C-CAM drivers, triple-suspended for a full 4cm of excursion and individually powered by DSP-controlled amplifiers, will deliver clean frequencies down to 16Hz. At this level, bass arrives with a percussive impact that you feel from head to toe, seamlessly extending even the PL500 II to deliver breath-taking audio resolution beyond the limits of your audible range, but with a physical dimension that absorbs the senses. Put simply, it’s the sound of nature, vividly re-created.

All this explosive audio potency would be wasted without control. Adjust the in-room response of the PLW215 II on the top panel or via laptop using our proprietary ‘SubConnect’ software. Within this global setting, the 24bit DSP offers four fully configurable user presets per input, including pre-set modes for Flat/Music/Movie/Impact EQ settings. If you wish to fine-tune, you can adjust frequency, slope, trim and EQ filters for each preset. There’s also a Night Mode, which actively reduces the dynamic range of louder sections according to the level you desire. The PLW215 II is the most powerful, sophisticated and natural sounding bass engine we have ever built, and so complements the flagship Platinum II range with impeccable precision.

Finishes

The Platinum II range is available in three sumptuous deluxe finishes, real wood ebony or santos rosewood veneer and high gloss piano black lacquer.

Feet

The Platinum II subwoofer's feet are supplied with spikes for carpeted floors, these can optionaly be removed and a rubber pad built into the foot serves as secure standing on wooden or hard floors without damaing them. A tool kit is supplied complete with adjustment tools and bubble level to enable correct levelling of the speaker.

C-CAM BASS Drivers

Refined over many years by Monitor Audio, Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium is used as a driver cone material for all our speaker designs from the mid-market models up. Originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components, C-CAM's properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. C-CAM bass drivers are able to resist the bending distortion imposed by sudden and extreme bass excursions to reproduce very clean, deep and dynamic bass frequencies. Conventional cone materials are more likely to flex in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion.
