ASB-10
WHAT IS A BIG TV WITHOUT BIG SOUND?
Your new slim TV may well deliver ever wider more enveloping pictures,
but have you noticed how puny it sounds? Size limitations imposed
by shrinking TV bezels mean that the speakers within them reproduce
only a fraction of the bandwidth available from today’s DTV boxes,
games consoles and media players. Our new ASB-10 compact Active
Sound-Bar system, complete with optional active subwoofer and wideranging wireless functionality, is expertly engineered to re-energise HD
and UHD pictures with the rich, detailed, immersive sound you’ve been
missing. Easily and oh so discreetly, your experience of TV is about to
be transformed.
MOVIES, MUSIC AND MAGIC FROM THE ASB-10
Equipped with a precision-tuned high performance 2.0 audio design comprising proprietary driver/amp pairings, integrated Dolby Digital processing and superior Bluetooth aptX™ wire-free streaming, the super-slender
ASB-10 will generate big audio dynamics from TV, games, discs and smartphones, to become the audio hub for every home.
POWER, PRECISION, PERFORMANCE IN ONE
With a compact 90 x 94mm cross section and at just under a metre in length, the discreetly proportioned ASB-10 complements the look of at screens from wall or table-top positions. Its slim moulded polymer cabinet
with black cloth grille and stylish brushed aluminium end trims houses an array of four Monitor Audio 3” C-CAM® bass drivers (assisted by a brace of passive bass radiators), and twin 25mm Gold Dome C-CAM tweeters.
The ASB-10’s proprietary drive-unit conguration is powered by as many as four integral DSP-trimmed ampliers, individually calibrated by Monitor Audio engineers for optimum audio control and response. From so svelte
a system the result is a size-defying success, injecting your music and lm sound with greater scale, detail and rhythmic mid-bass denition.
EASY SETUP AND OPERATION
Installation couldn’t be any simpler. A single, easy, optical or coaxial SP-DIF link to the TV allows the ASB-10 to decode digital audio from connected sources. Activated automatically when a signal is received, the ASB-10’s
on-board Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro-Logic II decoding ensures wide compatibility with lm and games content. Dolby’s Virtual Speaker processing, which is designed to replicate a three-dimensional surround sound
experience, is enabled via a button located on the front panel or remote handset. In addition the ASB-10 will energise streams of uncompressed CD-quality audio from your smartphones and tablets through its eortless
Bluetooth aptX wireless technology, and also accept legacy analogue sources via a 3.5mm stereo input.
EVEN BIGGER BASS IF YOU NEED IT…
In most circumstances the ASB-10 will deliver ample levels of bass, but for low frequency
enthusiasts Monitor Audio has developed the optional WS-10 active sub-woofer, purpose-built
to add big bass dynamics to the ASB-10 system and all space-ecient set-ups. Complete with
three-position EQ and a high quality digital wireless link to the ASB-10, the WS-10 is a compact
and versatile design, comprising an 8” C-CAM driver powered by a 120 watt amplier, generously
provisioned with individual volume and phase controls, and a standard array of wired LFE and
12V inputs for integration with an AVR in alternative system applications. For ever greater system
design versatility, the WS-10 can connect wire-free to other systems via Monitor Audio’s new WT-1
transmitter module.
Equipped with twin HiVe reex ports, the WS-10’s robust, low-prole cabinet of 18mm MDF
is designed with exibility in mind, wirelessly extending the ASB-10’s full-range delivery and
contributing deeper bass to any Sound-Bar or compact satellite system through wired or wireless
connections from the widest range of discreet room locations: beneath furniture, along room
boundaries or in corners.
WT-1 / WR-1
LOSE THE WIRES!
Decades of dealing with long, ugly cable runs can be consigned to history in minutes by installing our diminutive new WT-1/WR-1 wireless link.
Measuring just 6cm round by 4cm deep, the WT-1 transmitter and WR-1 receiver establish an automatic lossless audio connection between
analogue outputs and inputs over a range of up to 15 metres. The pairing is entirely intuitive and immediate: no elaborate button pushing
is necessary.
Tucked out of the way behind equipment, the WT-1 transmitter simply plugs into the analogue LFE or pre-outputs on your AVR or player, and the
WR-1 receiver into the inputs of a remote subwoofer or amp. The unobtrusive, ultra-compact modules then use the 2.4GHz digital band to send
uncompressed full-range audio through the air between them. Eortless installation replaces long runs of ugly wire to wirelessly extend the
power of our WS-10 active subwoofer, and enable full-range, wire-free performance and convenience in any set-up missing wireless functionality,
but with idle analogue inputs and outputs.
Simple to set-up and easy to use and expand, Monitor Audio’s super-exible system of active ASB-10 Sound-Bar, optional companion WS-10 active subwoofer and WT wireless link applies over four decades of awardwinning audio precision to restore the sound you’re missing from your TV and help you complete the high denition AV experience in your home. Easy, dynamic and beautifully discreet.
