Vestra Series
Performance Bass, Unmatched Value
Monitor Audio proudly announced at the beginning of the month of May 2025 the launch of the new Vestra Series. The all-new subwoofer series is designed to extend Monitor Audio’s independent range of subwoofers within the Home AV and Custom Installation space, extending flexibility for the consumer and integrator by enabling broader loudspeaker / system-matching options and wider flexibility regarding budget.
Engineered and developed alongside Monitor Audio’s acclaimed, premium Anthra Series Subwoofers, each of the three Vestra Subwoofers – the W10, W12 and W15 – include an acoustic package that enables Monitor Audio to deliver on its ‘Transparent Design Philosophy’, which couples superior design elements, an intuitive user-experience and advanced acoustic engineering, ensuring that all the elements of performance, technology and design work in harmony.

Acoustic Innovation
Monitor Audio has been at the forefront of metal cone driver technology and its development for close to four-decades. Vestra subwoofers utilise Monitor Audio’s proprietary C-CAM cone technology (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum Magnesium) – a cone technology ideally suited for subwoofers. The properties of C-CAM ensure a more fatigue-resistant, stronger and lighter cone. The result is a cone material that offers far greater pistonic movement under extreme stresses, over standard aluminum cones.
Behind the C-CAM cones are powerful new motor systems, featuring triple suspension (W12 and W15), uprated venting and larger, round-wound voice coils made of high purity copper wire. The suspension provides greater control and precision under extreme low frequencies, the venting supports greater airflow, reducing unwanted heat, and the larger voice coil delivers the highest possible BI (field strength). FEA optimisation of the steel components also helps linearise the Bl curve – this results in improved consistency of the magnetic field through the gap, which reduces distortion.
The C-CAM bass driver surround has also been carefully optimised. It allows the largest cone surface possible, so that the excursion is controlled without overstretching and causing distortion or breaking.
The result of this carefully engineered, high-linear excursion bass driver is that Vestra subwoofers will deliver exceptional bass responses, with swiftness, dexterity, total control and total power, that delivers on musicality and depth.
Vestra Series Benefits
Powerful Class-D AmplificationVestra subwoofers feature a powerful Class-D amplifier (250-Watt amplifier powers the Vestra W10, whilst a 500-Watt amplifier powers the Vestra W12 and W15). Each has been optimised and configured to match the drive unit and speaker system.
The amplifiers and their power supplies have been carefully designed in tandem, so that they work together for better efficiency and lower distortion.
Versatile Connectivity
All Vestra subwoofers feature a myriad of connectivity options, such as unbalanced Stereo RCA, LFE unbalanced RCA inputs, useful DSP with 3 pre-set configuration modes for in-room position optimisation and a 12-volt trigger.
Cabinet Strength
Vestra cabinets are meticulously crafted for both aesthetic elegance and acoustic performance. They are built with rigid, reinforced and braced 15 mm thick MDF and finished in contemporary black or white vinyl, with painted matte, 21mm thick front baffles. The internal bracing ensures stability and enhances sound precision. Each cabinet minimises unwanted resonance, delivering pure, undistorted bass that resonates deeply.
Sealed & Ported Designs
The W10 and W12 models benefit from a fully sealed enclosure, ideal for placement versatility, whilst the larger W15 utilises a ported design. The large diameter port design with large radiused exit flares reduces turbulence and supports air-flow within the port, allowing for fast, extended powerful bass and greater transient response.
