Monitor Audio - Gold W12 Subwoofer

Description

A flagship subwoofer built for deep, refined bass — a 12" long-throw driver reinforced by dual Auxiliary Bass Radiators and driven by 600W of Class D amplification, reaching down to 20Hz. Automatic Position Correction (APC) optimizes performance for wherever it's placed, delivering everything from the harmonic detail of a kettle drum to the full weight of a blockbuster explosion.
