Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Monitor Audio Silver W-12 subwoofer, which has

been designed and constructed using quality systems and materials to provide years of

enjoyment, reliability and pride of ownership.

The Silver W12 is a completely new and sophisticated design featuring the powerful

control of DSP processing and new driver design. The new 500 watt DSP controlled

ampliﬁer utilizes advanced switch-mode power conversion techniques and superior

processing to increased dynamic control and far greater head-room before any sign of

distortion.

The sealed box construction ensures this powerful combination delivers tight, powerful

bass all the way down to a thunderous 22Hz in a typical room set up.

The W-12 features our innovative Automatic Position Correction (APC) system, developed

completed in house. APC uses a microphone and test tones to automatically calculate

detrimental room modes and automatically correct frequency response, optimizing it for

the room and position. This is a simple and quick automated process that is a complete

revelation to the installer and ensures the user is able to enjoy the sub-woofer quality how

it was intended.

Please read through this manual to familiarise yourself with any safety advice and how to

set up your subwoofer to achieve the very best listening experience.

Spiked Foot Assembly

For Carpeted Floors

The Silver spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted ﬂoors and also,

a soft polymer pad (for use on wooden or tiled ﬂoors).

Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that could be damaged

by the spikes.

The foot comes fully assembled for use

on carpeted ﬂoors. All that is required is

ﬁxing into the bottom of the cabinet. This

is achieved by simply screwing the feet fully

into the 4-threaded insert in the underside of

the cabinet. If your carpet has a very thick

pile, remove the soft polymer pad from the

foot to ensure the spike goes right through

the carpet into the ﬂoor. With great care turn

your cabinet the right way up. Place the

cabinet in your desired location, and check

that it is level on all sides. If it is slightly

uneven, unscrew the spike at the lowest

point and check again.

Continue this process until the cabinet is fully

level. Use the locking nut on the foot to ﬁx

the foot in place and to stop any unwanted

vibrations.

Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors

For use on solid ﬂoors or where spikes are inappropriate, it is

possible to use the foot without the spike. To use the foot in this

manner carefully grip the knurled portion of the spike and rotate anti

clockwise to unscrew the spike fully.

You may ﬁnd it easier to ﬁrst remove the polymer pad so as to gain

more purchase on the spike.

The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation

previously described.

1. Crossover Frequency Control

The crossover frequency control only operates when connected to the stereo inputs.

It does not have any effect when connected to the LFE input. This control feature is

used to set the upper frequency limit (low pass) of the Silver W-12. The crossover

control should be set in accordance with the size or bass output of the main/satellite

speakers. Refer to the following chart as a guide to setting the crossover frequency

control to the optimum position. Much will depend on the correct low frequency

response of the main speakers and their position within the room. Experimentation

is advisable.

2. Phase Control Switch

The Phase Control is used to synchronise any delay between the Silver W-12 and main/

satellite speakers. When the Silver W-12 is in phase with the main/satellite speakers

the sound should be full bodied. Sit in a normal listening position whilst adjusting

the phase switch. Help from another person may be required. When set correctly

the location of the subwoofer should be almost undetectable. Experimentation is

recommended in order to achieve optimum results. However it should be noted that

in most cases the phase control switch should be set to 0 degrees, especially when

using a digital AV processor or AV receiver ampliﬁer.

3. Power Mode Switch with On-Auto Facility

The Power Mode Switch has two positions: ‘On’–‘Auto’. With the switch in the ‘On’

position, the subwoofer is permanently switched on under all conditions and will

need to be manually put into Standby mode. While in Standby mode, the W-12

may be woken by pressing the EQ button. In the ‘Auto’ position the subwoofer

will automatically wake once an input signal is received and will remain on while still

receiving a signal. The Silver W-12 will switch into standby mode following a period

of 20 minutes without an LFE signal. Refer to page 9 for further information.

4. 12 Volt Trigger Input ~ Centre Pin = +12Vdc

For external power control from AV ampliﬁer/ receiver to the W-12. Monitor Audio

recommend using this function and a lead is supplied. This 12 volt signal is generated

by the AV amp/receiver and tells the W-12 to turn on from standby mode. This allows

a more accurately controlled auto on/off function, and is far more energy efﬁcient.

When using the 12v trigger, the Power Mode Switch (3) must be in the AUTO

position, for it to function correctly.

5. USB Connector

This is provided to update the ﬁrmware within the W-12.

6. RCA Line Level Inputs (Stereo Left & Right)

For connection to a 2 channel/ stereo ampliﬁer system. Connection should be

provided by a pair of high-quality signal cables from the pre-out section of an ampliﬁer.

Note:- cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other

electrical appliances.

7. RCA Line Level Outputs (Stereo Left & Right)

To be used to feed additional sub-woofers to the W-12 by ‘daisy chain’ type

connection. The outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form

of ﬁltering.

8. LFE Input (RCA Type)

This input is to be used when connecting the W-12 to an AV ampliﬁer/ receiver. When

using the LFE input, the crossover control is not used. This is due to the crossover

function being controlled and set by the AV ampliﬁer/ processor when it’s set up

procedure is run.

9. LFE Output/ Link (RCA Type)

To be used to feed additional sub-woofers to the W-12 by ‘daisy chain’ type

connection. The output is a link out only connection and does not provide any form

of ﬁltering.

10. Mains Power Switch

The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the Silver

W-12 will not be used for extended periods. The switch must be in the ‘On’ position

for the subwoofer to function.

WARNING: Due to the mains switch being located on the rear panel, the apparatus

must be located in the open area with no obstructions to access the mains switch.

11. IEC Mains Power Connector/ Fuse Location

The Silver W-12 is supplied with a two-pin mains input socket for connection to the

mains supply. Use ONLY the appropriate IEC mains lead provided with the product.

Also ﬁtted is an external mains fuse. If a fuse blows during operation a spare fuse is

provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to change the fuse, you

can do this by removing the IEC mains lead and carefully levering out the original fuse

from its holder below the IEC mains input socket (11a). If the fuse blows again it is

advisable to seek help from an authorised service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-ﬁt a

further fuse as this could result in serious damage to the ampliﬁer unit.

Top Control Panel

1. EQ Button

This button has multiple functions, these are listed below:

• It wakes the W-12 from standby with a single press

• A long press (5 seconds) puts the W-12 into standby mode.

• When operational, it cycles through three different EQ proﬁles.

• The LED indicates selected EQ proﬁle (while operational) and other states

depending on mode and colour. A colour matrix can be found below.

WHITE - Boot sequence

BLUE - EQ Proﬁle 1 (Movies)

PINK - EQ Proﬁle 2 (Music)

GREEN - EQ Proﬁle 3 (Impact)

CYAN - Room Calibration In Progress

RED - Factory Reset (Static)

YELLOW & OTHER COLOUR - Fault mode (when ﬂashing with other colour. See

below.)

Further information on the EQ proﬁles can be found on page 10.

2. Calibration Button

The calibration button is used to enter ‘Automatic Position Correction (APC). This is

used to take SPL measurements of the room and to correct the frequency response

of the speaker to offset any colouration effects of the environment.

Refer to page 8 for further information on running the APC.

3. Microphone socket

Used to set the sub woofer up to adjust for the room acoustics.

Refer to page 8

4. Volume Control

This is used to set the volume control of the sub-woofer. Adjust this to a level at

which the sub-woofer blends seamlessly into the rest of your system. See the Set

Up proceedure on page 9 for recommended initial settings.

Initial Set Up

Leave the Silver W-12 unplugged from the mains until all signal cables

are connected.

The W-12 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in

the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position

is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably

without being under tension. Cables should be less than 10 metres to avoid interference.

Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the Silver

W-12 switched on.

For initial setting up, put the Power Mode Switch in the ‘On’ position and leave the 12v

trigger cable disconnected.

Once the input (and output if necessary) cables are connected and the power mode

switch is in the On position, the W-12 can be connected to the mains power supply and

switched on at the mains power switch.

Power Cycle

When the W-12 powers up for the ﬁrst time or when it has been turned off for a long

period, the EQ button will ﬂash red 3 times while powering up and then go in to standby

mode (if power mode switch is in the auto position).

When it senses a signal or is activated by the 12v trigger, the LED will illuminate white

while booting and then the colour of the previously sleceted (or default) EQ proﬁle.

If the power mode switch is in the On position it will be white while booting up and then

to the colour of the previously selected (or default) EQ proﬁle.

To continue with the set up procedure, put the power mode switch in the ‘On’ position

so that the APC can be initiated.

ENGLISH

Set Up

Automatic Position Correction

Automatic Position Correction (APC) will optimise the acoustic output of the subwoofer

to match the ideal system performance by removing the dominant room modes from the

listening position. The APC will take measurements from 3 different seating locations

within the room to achieve the most accurate correction.

NOTE: Please run the APC before running the automatic room set up of your AV ampliﬁer.

To perform APC, follow the steps listed below:

1. Pressing the Calibration Button (item 2, page 6) while in normal operation will enter

calibration mode. A ﬂashing blue LED in the calibration button indicates that the

subwoofer is ready to perform an APC measurement.

2. Place the microphone in the normal listening position, then press the EQ button to

activate a room measurement. This will ﬂash cyan and a series of tones will be heard.

If it doesn’t get a good enough reading, the EQ button LED will blink red and the

sub will run the test tones again until it gets an accurate enough measurement. The

LED will then blink green, then purple (processing the equalisation) and go off. The

Calibration button will be ﬂashing blue indicating that it needs to run a second and

third set of tones.

3. Repeat step 2 in another 2 listening positions to provide more room information for

the subwoofer.

Good locations for the 2nd and 3rd measurements would be 1m to the immediate

left and right of the initial listening position.

The subwoofer will then calculate the error between the current listening position and the

ideal frequency response of the system, then calculate and apply digital ﬁlters to optimise

the listening experience for the room.

When it has completed the APC the Calibration Button LED will go off, and the EQ Button

LED will go the colour of the previously selected EQ proﬁle.

If you do not wish to run a second and third APC frequency sweep, you can cancel the

test by pressing the Calibration Button again.

Connected to an AV Receiver

The majority of AV ampliﬁers have automatic setup systems. If your amp has an auto set

up procedure, run this now with the volume set to around 10 - 12 o’clock, and the power

mode switch in the On position.

When the auto set up is complete check the settings on the AV amp for the sub woofer

to ensure they are correct. The crossover frequency should be roughly the same as in

the table on page 4 and the level should be no more/ less than +/- 3dB. If not we would

suggest adjusting accordingly.

Now play a variety of music/ ﬁlm excerpts that you are familiar with gradually increasing

the volume to an average listening level once you are sure everything is working correctly.

Connected to a Stereo Ampliﬁer

Stereo L & R input may be required if using a 2-channel stereo ampliﬁer, or an ampliﬁer

with no LFE output. Connect 2 x interconnect cables (left and right) from an ampliﬁer to

connections marked Inputs L & R.

With the pre/ integrated ampliﬁer set to a low level, set the subwoofer up using the

suggested guide below before playing any music/ test tones.

• Set the volume to around 10 o’clock (Page 6)

• Frequency should be set in accordance to your main speakers (refer to the table on

Page 4)

• Phase to 0 (Page 4)

Now play some familiar music and gradually adjust the volume and/ or the frequency until

happy with the integration and balance of the sub woofer with the rest of the system.

ENGLISH

EQ Proﬁles

The Silver W-12 has 3 preset EQ proﬁles. These are EQ1 (Movies), EQ2 (Music) and EQ3

(Impact).

These proﬁles change the characteristics of the sound from the subwoofer. We highly

recommend experimenting with the different proﬁles to see which most suits your room,

tastes, environment, etc. An example of the different proﬁles do can be seen below:

Additional Information for Auto On/ Off and Signal Sensing

In auto power mode, the method which wakes the system up takes priority until it is put

into standby, with trigger always taking priority over signal sensing.

Signal sense is around 1mV sensitive on both the stereo and LFE inputs.

Some examples can be seen below:

1. The system is woken up with signal. When the signal is stopped, a 20 minute timer

will start counting down to zero. At zero, the system will enter standby again. If a

signal is re-introduced within this 20 minute window, the system will reset and stop

the timer. The trigger line will not have any effect.

2. The system is woken up with the 12V trigger going high. The signal sense will not

affect the state of the ampliﬁer. The ampliﬁer will automatically enter standby when

the 12V trigger line transitions low.

3. The system is woken up with both signal present and the 12V trigger high. Trigger

will take the priority, and signal sense will not have any effect.

Trouble Shooting

Fault Mode

The Silver W-12 can display 3 individual faults codes. Each fault mode makes the LED in

the EQ Button alternate between yellow and another colour; red, green or blue.

Mode 1 - Power supply unit issue

Yellow/Red ﬂashing

Mode 2 - Power ampliﬁer issue

Yellow/Green ﬂashing

If these faults occur, try carrying out a power cycle ﬁrst, leaving the mains power removed

for at least 5 minutes. If that doesn’t solve the error try a factory reset.

If it still does not output a signal or the fault mode is still present, please contact your local

dealer/ distributor or Monitor Audio immediately.

Factory Reset

If any problems or glitches occur, the ﬁrst port of call will be a factory reset. This is

actuated via a long press of button 1 and button 2 simultaneously.

This will reset -

• The current saved EQ (Resets to proﬁle 1)

• Any saved microphone calibration data

• Any saved APC ﬁlter proﬁles

Firmware Version

A short press of both buttons causes the system to report its current ﬁrmware version by

blinking the LED’s within the buttons.

The LED within the EQ Button denotes a 1 and the LED within the Calibration button

denotes a 0. Add up the pattern and pauses to determine the ﬁrmware version, for

example:

Firmware version 2.1.1 would be 2 x EQ LED - Pause - 1 x EQ LED - Pause - 1 x EQ LED

Firmware version 3.0.0 would be 3 x EQ LED - Pause - 1 x Calibration LED - Pause -

1 x Calibration LED.

Assemblage du pied

Pour sols moquette

Les modèles Silver sont livrés avec un pied adapté aux sols moquette et un tampon en

polymère doux adapté pour les parquets et sols carrelés.

Vériﬁez qu'aucun câble électrique susceptible d'être endommagé par le pied ne

passe sous le tapis ou la moquette.

Le pied est entièrement assemblé et prêt

à être utilisé. Il est seulement requis de

le ﬁxer sur le bas du caisson. Pour cela,

vissez le pied sur les 4 inserts de ﬁletage

situés sur le dessous du cabinet. Si votre

tapis/sol moquette est très épais, retirez le

tampon en polymère du pied et vériﬁez que

la pointe traverse entièrement le tapis ou

la moquette. Remettez le cabinet en place

avec précaution. Placez le cabinet à l'endroit

désiré puis vériﬁez qu'il est bien équilibré sur

tous les côtés. S'il n'est pas correctement

à plat, dévissez légèrement la pointe par le

bas puis vériﬁez à nouveau.

Continuez ce procédé jusqu'à ce que le

cabinet soit parfaitement équilibré. Utilisez

l'écrou de serrage sur le pied pour le maintenir

en place et éviter les vibrations indésirables.

Fixer le pied sur des sols en bois/durs

Pour les sols durs sur lesquels l'utilisation de pointes n'est pas

adaptée, il est possible d'utiliser le pied sans la pointe. Pour cela,

saisissez délicatement la molette de la pointe puis tournez-la dans le

sens des aiguilles d'une montre pour dévisser entièrement la pointe.

Il peut s'avérer plus facile de retirer le tampon en polymère avant de

commencer à dévisser pour avoir une meilleure prise sur la pointe.

Replacez le tampon avant d'effectuer l'opération d'équilibrage

décrite précédemment.

1. Bouton de contrôle de phase

Le bouton de contrôle de phase sert à synchroniser les décalages éventuels entre

le Silver W-12 et les haut-parleurs principaux/satellites. Quand le Silver W-12 est en

phase avec les haut-parleurs principaux/satellites, le son doit être plein. Asseyez-

vous en position d'écoute normale lorsque vous ajustez le bouton de phase. Vous

pourriez avoir besoin de l'aide d'une autre personne. Si la conﬁguration a été faite

correctement, l'emplacement du caisson de basse doit être quasiment indétectable.

Nous vous recommandons de faire des essais pour de meilleurs résultats. Veuillez

cependant noter que dans la plupart des cas, le bouton de contrôle de phase

doit être réglé sur 0 degré, en particulier si vous utilisez un processeur AV ou un

ampliﬁcateur AV.

2. Bouton d'alimentation avec fonction d'auto-allumage

Le bouton d'alimentation propose deux positons : « On »–« Auto ». Quand le bouton

est en position « On », le caisson de basse est allumé quoi qu'il arrive et devra

être placé manuellement en mode Veille. Alors qu'en mode veille, le W-12 peut être

réveillé en appuyant sur le bouton EQ. En position « Auto », le caisson de basse

s'allume lors de la réception d'un signal d'entrée et restera allumé tant qu'il recevra

un signal. Le Silver W-12 basculera en mode veille après une période de 20 minutes

sans signal LFE. Pour plus d'informations, consultez la page 9.

3. Entrée cordon 12 V ~ broche centrale = +12 V c.c.

Pour le contrôle de l'alimentation externe de l'ampliﬁcateur/récepteur AV vers le

W-12, Monitor Audio recommande l'utilisation de cette fonction et un cordon est

fourni. Ce signal 12 V est généré par l'ampliﬁcateur/récepteur AV et indique au W-12

de sortir de sa veille. Ceci permet un meilleur contrôle de la fonction on/off, et est

bien plus efﬁcace d'un point de vue consommation électrique.

Lors de l'utilisation du cordon 12 V, le bouton d'alimentation (3) doit être sur la

position AUTO pour fonctionner correctement.

4. Port USB

Fourni pour mettre à jour le ﬁrmware du W-12.

5. Entrées de niveau ligne RCA (gauche & droite stéréo)

Pour une connexion à un système à 2 canaux / ampliﬁcateur stéréo. La connexion

doit être fournie par une paire de câbles de signal haute qualité depuis la section de

pré-sortie d'un ampliﬁcateur.

Remarque :- la longueur des câbles ne doit pas dépasser 10 mètres pour éviter les

interférences d'autres appareils électriques.
