2 x 18" 1500 Watt Dual Subwoofer
S-Series is a family of affordable, linear response loudspeakers designed for use in applications requiring controlled coverage patterns, high-impact power response, with clear and intelligible sonic output. All models are designed with portability in mind, but they are equally effective in permanent or semi-permanent installations. The S-Series family of products is well suited for use in nightclubs, cafes, discotheques, houses of worship, auditoriums, meeting rooms, theatres, outdoor concerts, and most anywhere else that people gather to enjoy music and hear the spoken word. S-Series loudspeakers are flexible, easy to set up and use, and most importantly they provide superb sound quality.
The S-218S is a professional subwoofer designed to complement and extend the low frequency output of any SONUS full range loudspeaker. Solidly constructed to ensure an accurate acoustic response that is uncolored by enclosure resonance, the rugged design of the S-218S handles the rigors of the road with ease. The unit is characterized by a deep, powerful and compelling low frequency response that does not sacrifice speed of attack. The result is a rapid, punchy sonic signature coupled with sustained drive, enabling the 218S to easily handle most any musical challenge or special effects requirement.
Its high power and low distortion output provide accuracy and precision for musical styles including reggae, house, dance, ska, rock, metal and even dramatic classical productions. The S-218S employs internal DYNA-TECH protection circuitry. Using only the power from the amplifier, DYNA-TECH actively prevents driver damage, even under severely abusive operating conditions. Equipped with threaded rigging fittings, Ergo-Grip transport handles, integrated casters, and a stand receptacle that extends to the bottom of the enclosure for extra stability, the S-218S easily meets the demanding requirements of rental companies, touring musicians, Mobile DJs and other professional users.
Features
-
Sophisticated internal crossover networks for reduced off-axis lobing and consistent coverage throughout the crossover region.
-
Selectable crossover modes (bi-amped or passive single-amped).
-
Carbon Ring Cone Technology; used on all full-range low-frequency drivers for reduced distortion, enhanced transient response, and 30% greater cone area than conventional cone drivers (patent pending).
-
Ferrofluid-cooled high-frequency and mid-frequency drivers for improved heat conductance and dramatically reduced distortion through viscous damping of driver resonant modes.
-
Music / Speech PRESENCE Switch re-voices the loudspeaker’s tonal balance for increased articulation in the vocal range.
-
Powerful 1-inch-throat high-frequency compression drivers offer extended high-end response, smooth output, and lower distortion than larger format drivers.
-
Non-metallic high-frequency diaphragms provide a further reduction in distortion by eliminating the mechanical resonance normally associated with brittle metallic materials.
-
Geometrically correct, hand-laid fiberglass mid and high-frequency waveguides.
-
Community’s patented Cool-CoilTM heat evacuation technology minimizes cone driver power compression and ensures long-term reliability (used in subwoofers).
-
DYNA-TECHTM active protection circuitry aids in reducing the likelihood of damage under abusive conditions.
-
Switchable high-pass output on subwoofers maximizes performance when a full range system and a subwoofer are powered by a single amplifier channel.
-
Rugged 11-ply cross-laminated Birch enclosures, coated with a two-part catalyzed polyester paint for durability.
-
Protective steel grilles covered with durable powder-coat finish.
-
Load rated M10 fly points on tops, bottoms and rear of enclosures for safe & easy rigging
-
Dual NL4-compatible locking connectors, plus dual ¼” jacks allow easy connectivity with readily available cables.
