Monitor Audio Gold W15 Manuel Utilisateur page 4

Gold W15 Features
• Compact design with forward firing 15" long-throw woofer.
• Class D amplifier section with advanced SMPSU (Switch Mode Power Supply Unit).
• Dynamic power limiter. DSP (Digital Sound Processing) control of the power amplifier monitors available power and limits
certain frequencies dependant on available power reserve.
• Sealed cabinet for ultimate bass control and ease of installation.
• All features and settings adjustable by remote control.
• Full DSP Control with all functions controlled in the digital domain, providing more advanced control of complex filter
characteristics than conventional analogue circuitry.
• 3 Memory locations per input.
• Automatic control of input sources, e.g.; a LFE input and an alternative input such as 2 channel, stereo hi-fi amplifier can
share a single Gold W15. It will switch automatically between the two.
• 4 x pre-set EQ settings; Music, Movies, Impact & Off.
• LEO room correction system.
• Auto switch on/off, or 12V trigger input. Controlled by DSP to provide accurate automatic switch on when an input signal is
detected.
• Front mounted IR sensor and display.
• Night mode setting.
LEO
LEO*, Listening Environment Optimizer™, is the automatic room correction system feature on the Gold W15.
How it Works
The D2Audio™ LEO sound processing uses a microphone connected to the Gold W15 to listen to its acoustic response at key
positions in the room. The LEO system generates several special audio signals that allow the internal DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) to understand how the Gold W15 sounds within its environment. Once the DSP has established the baseline sound
characteristics, several specially selected frequencies will be tested. These frequencies have been selected to detect room mode
effects. The DSP is used a second time to calculate where the sound is too strong and where it is too weak. It uses this information
to generate a special correction frequency curve for each situation. The DSP is used a third time to determine the best correction
curve and the best way to implement that curve. These three steps are all done in a single measurement from the microphone.
The correction is then stored in the amplifier delivering the best sound possible from that time forward.
With the Gold W15 custom tuned to the room, all that is left to do is sit back and enjoy the new sonic experience.
