Nothing like those chest pounding effects from low frequencies. Just in case you didn't know, Monitor Audio has launched their newest new line of Gold speakers. They also launched a new powerhouse which will be in charge of handling the hard and "dirty" work, the deep bass notes and chest impact we all crave for. Meet the new Gold W15 Sealed Subwoofer!
They have installed an ultra-long throw 15″ C-CAM bass driver, triple suspended for a full 1.5-inch of linear excursion. Featuring a massive magnet structure and under the control of a 650W D2 AUDIO DSP controlled amplifier, this deep bass generator will be in charge of delivering a new dimension to bass, high SPL, dynamic control and headroom. According to the company, the Gold W15 is capable of hitting down to 18Hz with "brute force", but it is also an intelligent design, featuring an advanced automatic room correction system called LEO™ (Listening Environment Optimizer). LEO simply and automatically eliminates the detrimental bass boost of boundaries and corners through the use of a microphone and test tones.
So, there you have it. If you are looking for a new sub, make sure you check this one out before buying. It just might be the one you need. Share your thoughts with us!
