Monitor Audio Gold GSW12

Subwoofer
Gold serie

The GSW12 powered subwoofer combines state-of-the-art components and a compact
enclosure for placement flexibility, with unique system tuning versatility and
remote control operation. The GSW12 subwoofer features a 600-watt amplifier with
an advanced switch mode power supply, an ultra-long throw 12-inch C-CAM driver
with a 3-inch diameter voice coil and a triple suspension system in an acoustic
suspension cabinet. The GSW12 delivers deep, loud, and articulate bass down to
18Hz.
Its compact size thunderous performance, and availability in our beautiful Gold
Signature veneers and lacquer finishes make this sub perfect for in-cabinet or
in-room applications.

DSP Control: All functions of the GSW12 are controlled in the digital domain,
providing more advanced control of complex filter characteristics than
conventional analog circuitry.

Remote Control Operation: All main features and setting adjustments can be
assessed by remote control including: Mute, Power/Standby, LFE/Stereo Input,
Night Mode (so loud passages will not exceed a pre-set threshold), and Preset
and User Adjustable EQ Modes. The GSW12 has a front-mounted IR remote control
receiver with LED to indicate remote actuation.

Top-mounted Control Panel with Backlit LED Display: This LED display provides
full visual feedback of the amplifier settings. The default display will show
the EQ settings, output volume, and graphic output display (constantly
changing). When the enter button is pressed on the remote control or the control
panel encoder knob is pushed down, the Omenu¹ system is displayed. All settings
can be accessed via the top-mounted control panel by pushing and/or rotating the
encoder knob.

Preset EQ Modes plus a User Adjustable EQ Setting: The GSW-12 subwoofer features
four preset EQ modes and one user adjustable EQ setting accessed by the
top-mounted panel or remote control. Here are the preset EQ modes:

Movie: Boosts output of frequencies from 20Hz-50Hz providing maximum impact for
movie presentation

Music: A Oflat¹ response designed to complement accurate music presentation.

Dynamic: A low boost response for low distortion and a tight, accurate
presentation. This setting may be helpful in systems installed in smaller rooms.

Impact: This setting provides maximum boost from 40Hz optimizing all available
power output to provide maximum SPL. This may be of particular use where Oslam¹
is required.

The user adjustable 10-band graphic equalizer has a +/-6dB adjustment in steps
of 0.5dB providing the ability to Onotch out¹ or Oboost¹ anomalies in the
frequency response caused by room modes or positioning constraints.

Adjustable Low-pass Crossover Control: Adjustable from 40-120Hz with variable
slope adjustment from 6-54dB/octave to provide better system integration with a
wide range of speaker applications.

Adjustable sub-sonic filter from 16-31Hz: Variable slope adjustment from 6-54dB
per octave to provide further limiting of low frequencies to ensure valuable
power is not wasted and directed to frequency areas where it can be of most use
in a particular application.
