Monitor Audio Anthra W10 Subwoofer - Gloss Black

Monitor Audio Anthra W10 Powered Subwoofer

What You Need to Know

Devastating Bass from a 12.6-Inch Cube

The compact cube of Monitor Audio's Anthra W10 unleashes devastatingly deep bass from an easy-to-place form factor that's just right for most rooms. The smallest model in the award-winning Anthra series digs to a startling 17Hz (-6dB)—territory most compact subwoofers never approach—earning an AVForums Editor's Choice Award for Best Subwoofer Solution. As Hi-Fi Choice put it: "Monitor Audio's smallest Anthra sub is easy to accommodate and immense fun to listen to."

Extreme Excursion, Serious Power

The secret is a 10-inch Rigid Surface Technology II (RST II) C-CAM driver with triple suspension and a massive motor assembly, capable of a huge 50mm of peak-to-peak excursion—moving serious air from a sealed, comprehensively braced 18mm MDF cabinet with a 36mm front baffle. A high-efficiency Class D amplifier delivers up to 500 watts instantaneous power, all managed by a 28-bit DSP engine for control that stays tight and musical at any volume.

Setup That Actually Makes Sense

A full-color LCD display and rotary dial on the rear panel handle basic setup and EQ preset selection—no squinting at tiny dip switches. For deeper tuning, Monitor Audio's MaestroUnite app unlocks DSP configuration: three preset EQ curves plus three custom 8-band curves, a 20-200Hz low-pass filter with adjustable slope, and 0-360° phase control. You can even link the W10 with up to three additional Anthra subwoofers for a seamlessly immersive multi-sub system. Choose High Gloss Black or Satin White, each with a magnetically attached cloth grille.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does something this small dig to 17Hz?

Extreme driver excursion. The 10" RST II driver travels up to 50mm peak-to-peak—several times the throw of a typical compact sub—backed by 500 watts and DSP control in a rigid sealed cabinet. It moves big-sub air from a footprint barely bigger than a shoebox.

Do I need the app to set it up?

No—the rear-panel color LCD and rotary dial cover basic setup and EQ presets on their own. The free MaestroUnite app (iOS/Android) adds custom EQ curves, filter slopes, phase adjustment, and multi-sub configuration when you want to go deeper.

Can I run more than one?

Yes—the W10 links with up to three additional Anthra subwoofers, configured together through MaestroUnite. Multiple subs smooth out room modes for more even bass at every seat.

Will it keep up with music, or is it just for movies?

Both. The sealed cabinet and DSP-controlled driver favor speed and pitch accuracy—qualities music demands—while 17Hz extension and 500 watts handle cinematic moments with ease. It's an ideal partner for Monitor Audio's Bronze, Silver, and Gold speakers, or any brand you own.
