Monitor Audio

C-CAM Cones

Monitor Audio is renowned for its leadership in metal cone technology, its innovative C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) drive unit cone has been in constant development for over 30-years. It is therefore the perfect cone material for Vestra Subwoofers and the powerful motor systems that sit behind.

C-CAM is lightweight yet an incredibly rigid cone that minimises flexing, allowing for a faster response time and improved accuracy. Fronting a powerful motor system, the Vestra C-CAM bass driver delivers exceptional clarity and low distortion, allowing for the accurate reproduction of deep, controlled bass.

Accurate and responsive Bass Drivers

To ensure Vestra Subwoofers can produce the dynamic performance of movie and music scores with realism, total control and precision, they benefit from high linear-excursion drive units with triple suspension (W12 and W15) designed to handle the low frequencies without sacrificing control or precision.

The surround has also been carefully optimised, it allows the largest cone surface possible, so that the excursion is controlled without overstretching and causing distortion or breaking.

Vestra C-CAM bass drivers, are potent engines for delivering exceptional bass responses, with swiftness, dexterity, total control and total power.

Power, precision and efficiency

Sat behind the C-CAM drive unit and within the heavily braced cabinet is the potent Class-D amplification. From 250-Watts (Vestra W10) to 500-Watts (Vestra W12 and W15), the amplification is perfectly matched to drive the C-CAM drive unit for total optimised, pistonic performance - no matter the volume - for greater efficiency and low distortion.

With a myriad of connections such as unbalanced Stereo RCA connections for clear audio transmission with minimum interference, and LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) unbalanced RCA inputs for handling low bass frequencies, for the purest and most impactful bass signals, integrating within a two-channel or multi-channel AV system is straightforward.

Vestra Subwoofers are easily configured - setup is straightforward and efficient and with the 12-volt trigger, the Vestra will automatically power on, as soon as a signal is received to deliver deep, controlled bass.

Cabinet Construction

Vestra cabinets, like every Monitor Audio product are meticulously crafted for both aesthetic elegance and acoustic performance. Built with rigid, reinforced and braced 15mm thick MDF, and finished in contemporary black or white vinyl, with painted matte, 21mm thick front baffles. The internal bracing ensures stability and enhances sound precision. Each cabinet minimises unwanted resonance, delivering pure, undistorted bass that resonates deeply.

The W10 and W12 models benefit from a fully sealed enclosure, ideal for placement versatility, whilst the monstrous W15 utilises a ported design extending low-frequency extension further for maximum bass slam.

Vestra's cabinet construction embodies a perfect balance of durability, style, and sonic clarity - letting you feel every beat and nuance in stunning detail.
