Monitor Audio Apex AW12 Metallic Black Subwoofer

Full Description

In order to extend the performance of its lifestyle speaker systems, Monitor Audio has created a wholly new sub-bass engine for the AW-12, designed to contribute a seismic blend of deep bass frequencies and high output with low distortion. Every component has been developed specifically for the AW-12, including the massively engineered front-firing 12" C-CAM driver and 500 watt Class D amplifier. The amplifier and its complementary high efficiency switch mode power supply are able to deliver full power with a continuous rating, equal to most other subwoofers rated at 1000 watts. This means that even in the largest rooms, the AW-12 is able to perform cleanly, dynamically and with profound effect over extended periods of listening.

The AW-12's luxury looks are no less impressive. Finished in a range of lacquers (Piano black metallic, and Piano White Metallic) to complement Monitor Audio's lifestyle satellite speakers, and complete with aluminium side trims, the AW-12 has the build quality and design to blend with the richest of interiors. Its compact sealed cabinet will be easy to position, and the top-mounted control of volume and EQ are designed for easy setup and adjustment. The 12V trigger input allows for auto-activation when using a compatible A/V receiver or processor.

Balancing beautifully the virtues of convenience and design, refinement and power, the AW-12 offers a devastating introduction to the benefits of superior subwoofer engineering.

C-CAM Bass Driver

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.

Spike Feet

For use on carpeted floors the AW-12's spike feet penetrate through the carpet, providing stability.

Rubber Foot

The AW-12's adjustable foot design has the floor spike permanently fitted with a removable heavy duty rubber cover for solid or hard wood flooring.
