Monitor Audio IWS-10 Subwoofer Driver

The Monitor Audio IWS-10 In-Wall Subwoofer allows discreet placement of subwoofer for Home Cinema or Multi-Room installations. Providing excellent bass response the IWS-10 subwoofer driver utilises a super rigid flat 254mm driver manufactured from RDT material devised for Monitor Audio’s acclaimed ‘Platinum’ series of high-end speakers.

To provide excellent bass depth with maximum installation flexibility the IWS-10 subwoofer driver is a highly specialised design employing an extraordinarily rigid, flat 254mm surface of 10mm RDT material devised for Monitor audio’s acclaimed ‘Platinum’ series of high-end speakers. Rigid Diaphragm Technology is a sandwich of two layers of C-CAM alloy, bonded to a honeycomb Nomex core. The resulting properties of low mass and great strength give the driver the ability to behave as an extremely agile piston, resistant to bending, light enough to deliver an accurate bass response through large excursions, even within a shallow 81mm profile. A large vented pole helps to move air quickly, reducing power compression and heat dissipation.

Consequently the IWS-10 is sufficiently well specified to generate excellent bass quality in a range of wall, ceiling, even floor locations, ideally but not exclusively with its IWB-10 back box, providing wider retrofit possibilities. It features Monitor Audio’s patented Tri-grip clamping system which is easier to install and provides three times the surface area of a conventional dog-leg type clamp, offering better overall surface sealing. The IWS-10’s trim-less grille and frame edge are paintable to blend discreetly with décor.

Monitor Audio IWA-250 Subwoofer Amplifier

The IWA-250, a switch mode amplifier, is a slim, powerful dedicated design in a heavy-duty 1U rack mount case. Delivering up to 250 Watts into 4 ohms, a single IWA-250 will power single or dual drivers to provide higher power levels for larger rooms.

The IWA-250 can be configured to switch on automatically using input signal sensing, or by using the preferred 12v trigger link from an AVR or system source. The IWA-250 will then automatically be switched on and off with the AVR, TV or system remote control handset.

The amplifier utilises a cool running Class D power stage driven by a PWM with integrated DSP. All filtering and functionality are controlled in the software for precise and reliable operation. It offers a choice of single LFE, balanced XLR and stereo RCA inputs.

Output connection is made via two sets of push type terminals to provide connection to one, or a pair of drivers. The front panel provides access to all control features for easy adjustment when fitted into a rack bay. An EQ switch provides a selection of music, movie and impact presets for the ideal response in-room. There is also an enclosure switch to calibrate the drive characteristics when the IWS-10 is used within or without the IWB-10 back box.
