The discreet Monitor Audio Apex 10AV12 multi-channel system utilises Apex 10's and the Apex 40 Centre for the front channels, with another pair of Apex 10 speakers in the surround role; all underpinned by the awesome Apex AW12 subwoofer.
As capable with music as it is with home theatre sound, the beautiful Monitor Audio A10 punches like a heavyweight, expertly blending sky-wide high frequencies with a natural blast of mid-range detail coupled to a depth of bass that simply defies the A10's svelte dimensions. Its rigid die-cast alloy cabinet, piano-lacquered to a polished perfection imparts a sense of superior quality, and when teamed with a matching A40 at the centre and the awesome AW-12, the A10 completes a surround sound system unrivalled in its ability to combine the essential force of music and film sound and the power of de-rigueur design in a single fabulous statement.
The versatile Monitor Audio A40 can be used vertically or horizontally to provide electrifying audio realism characterised by soaring dynamics and low distortion. Equipped with twin Apex bass drivers, the A40 excels at low frequency depth and mid-band evenness over a wide listening area. It radiates with the full force of a single 8" bass driver, but has the advantage of superior power handling and a wonderfully smooth audio consistency. The A40's slender profile and glossy lacquer finishes make it a match for super-thin video displays.
The Monitor Audio AW-12 Subwoofer, designed to contribute a seismic blend of deep bass frequencies and high output with low distortion. Every component has been developed specifically for the Monitor Audio Radius AW-12, including the massively engineered front-firing 12" C-CAM driver and 500 watt Class D amplifier. The amplifier and its complementary high efficiency switch mode power supply are able to deliver full power with a continuous rating, equal to most other subwoofers rated at 1000 watts.
