The dBTechnologies SUB 918 is a professional active subwoofer engineered to deliver an exceptional low-end audio experience across a range of demanding applications. Featuring a high-performance 18-inch premium woofer within a bass-reflex enclosure, the SUB 918 provides a robust and deep bass response, ideal for live sound reinforcement, concerts, and events where impactful sound is crucial.
Powered by a 900 W RMS Class D Digipro G3 amplifier, the subwoofer ensures outstanding efficiency and sound pressure levels up to 134 dB. It supports remote monitoring and control via RDNet and the Aurora Net software, available for both Windows and Mac platforms. This feature enables advanced configuration and fine-tuning, especially when integrated with RDNet-enabled dBTechnologies full-range systems.
The onboard controls include attenuation, polarity switching, and a DSP-managed delay that can be adjusted up to 4.5 milliseconds in 0.5 millisecond increments. Additionally, crossover frequencies can be fine-tuned from 70 to 110 Hz, offering flexible integration with various audio setups.
Built from sturdy plywood, the cabinet is designed for ground stacking and supports both vertical and horizontal placement. It includes two M20 mounts for pole mounting a full-range speaker and integrated top handles for easier handling. The rear panel allows wheel attachment for effortless transport, and the compact size (41.8 kg) makes it practical for mobile or installed use.
With precise control, powerful output, and user-friendly features, the SUB 918 is a reliable choice for audio professionals who demand quality and flexibility from their low-end system components.
