The Silver W-12's overspecified driver assembly employs a massively powerful magnet system and massive voice coil to deliver immense power from the compact sealed cabinet. A heavy-duty die-cast basket not only holds the massive system rigidly together, but also aids thermal sink 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 specialist Hypex; This provides incredible headroom and uses advanced switched mode power conversion techniques. Powerful DSP has been employed to deliver the best performance and filter characteristics, while running the unique APC (Automatic Position Correction) system. The APC is a completely in-house development, designed to automatically correct room modes. It uses a microphone and test tones to calculate harmful room modes and correct the frequency response, optimizing 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 the quality of the subwoofer 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 the system can deliver the best possible bass. It will never be overloaded or distorted, even at maximum power.
