Active Subwoofer K-18AW
The K-18AW is a high-output powered subwoofer designed to reinforce professional sound systems with deep, controlled, and high-impact low frequencies. Its 18-inch woofer, 100 mm voice coil, integrated DSP processing, and high-efficiency Class D amplification deliver the power and stability required for live performances, clubs, auditoriums, event venues, and fixed PA installations.
Product Description
- Powerful 18-inch low-frequency driver: The large-format woofer and 100 mm voice coil provide strong bass extension, high acoustic output, and reliable dynamic performance.
- Professional DSP platform: Equipped with a 2-input / 2-output processor operating at 48 kHz / 24-bit resolution using Cirrus Logic audio technology.
- Low-latency signal processing: The built-in floating-point DSP architecture supports smooth real-time operation and precise system response.
- Advanced loudspeaker configuration: Dedicated DSP software allows professional tuning, system optimization, monitoring, and parameter adjustment.
- Low-noise audio transmission: Fully differential analog signal channels improve common-mode noise rejection and help maintain signal integrity.
- Remote system management: The RS-485 cascade interface supports remote configuration and monitoring through the manufacturer’s dedicated USB Bridge.
- Efficient thermal control: A high-efficiency heat sink and intelligent variable-speed cooling fan help maintain stable operating temperatures during extended use.
- High-efficiency Class D amplification: The integrated digital amplifier achieves conversion efficiency of up to 90% while delivering powerful output with reduced energy loss.
- Real-time operating indicators: Front-panel Signal, Limiter, and Protection LEDs provide clear visual feedback on system status.
- Installation-ready enclosure: Multiple suspension points, dual handles, a 35 mm pole-mount socket, and NL4-compatible connectors support flexible professional deployment.
