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 8 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.

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 8.
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 6 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 6
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 6 for
recommended initial settings.
