DB Technologies DVA S1518 N Active Subwoofer Bandpass

The DVA S1518N is a high-performance active bandpass subwoofer that builds on the trusted design of the DVA S10, offering a 50% increase in power, integrated 56-bit DSP, and RDNet remote network control. This makes it a versatile solution for both touring and installed sound applications, where powerful, controlled low-end performance is critical.

Featuring an 18″ low-frequency driver with a 4″ voice coil, the subwoofer is driven by a 1500W RMS Digipro® G2 Class-D amplifier with a 1.5 kW SMPS power supply. The S1518N delivers tight, punchy bass with excellent transition into the lower midrange, making it an ideal match for DVA T12, T8, T4, and DVX Series tops. With a frequency response of 39–120 Hz and a max SPL of 138 dB, it handles high-output environments with ease.

The onboard DSP provides variable crossover points, adjustable delay (0–4.5 ms), phase control (0°/180°), and advanced RMS, peak, and thermal limiters for reliable and customizable system tuning. A 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA converter ensures top-tier sound fidelity.

Constructed from durable multiplex plywood, the cabinet is lightweight yet road-ready, complete with M20 pole mount, SRK10-compatible rigging points, and optional accessories like dolly, rain cover, and dust cover. With 3 ergonomic handles per side and 100mm wheels, it’s built for efficient handling and transport.

The “N” designation signifies RDNet compatibility, allowing remote monitoring, configuration, and optimization across complex setups—ideal for professionals seeking streamlined control of their low-end system components.
