Monitor Audio Apex
After the launch at the Bristol Show, I can now post up details of Monitor Audio’s new Apex home cinema range.
The Apex AW12 subwoofer has been available for a short while now, and sits between the RXW12 and GSW12 pricewise. The cabinet differs a little in that ithas rounded edges, creating a softer look than many other ‘packaged’ subs. There’s no screws, bolt heads or grille holes visible, just smooth clean lines, which means it doesn’t attract attention to itself, and looks a little more pleasing to the eye than many others that can be mentioned. It uses Monitor Audio’s own C-CAM 12″ long throw bass driver, driven by a Class D digital amplifier providing 500 watts (1000 watts peak) of clean power down to 21Hz. It utilises a sealed cabinet which provides a smoother in room bass response, ensures a quicker bass than many ported designs, and is easier to integrate in many rooms.
