Key Features and Benefits

Dual 18-inch Neodymium Drivers

This PA subwoofer features a pair of 18-inch neodymium drivers with 4-inch voice coils, creating a high powered output and hitting frequencies as low as 25Hz. This ensures tight, punchy bass without sacrificing clarity or headroom, even at demanding volume levels. Compared to conventional ferrite drivers, these neodymium designs are lighter, helping with transport and setup while delivering consistent performance show after show.

5000W Class D Amplification

The inbuilt5000W Class D amplifier, now in its third generation, provides substantial output and efficiency. Advanced SMPS and power factor correction contribute to reliability and lower power consumption. Performing artists and event technicians can trust this consistent energy delivery for high SPL events without overheating.

64-bit DSP with TFT Touchscreen Interface

Sophisticated digital control at your fingertips: the 3.5-inch TFT colour display allows you to set limiters, frequency cut-offs, and other protection parameters. There is a 5-band parametric EQ, FiR filtering for impeccable phase response, and a substantial alignment delay feature for complex setups.

Network Audio with Dante Integration

With integrated Dante protocol, the XW218 active subwoofer connects directly to standard IP networks, handling uncompressed audio with nearly imperceptible latency. A must-have for professionals managing large, multi-zone PA setups or those looking for full remote systemconfiguration via Amate DSPStudio software.

Bass Reflex Design with Advanced Ports

The enclosure uses tuned laminar ports and gradient grilles, minimising turbulence and allowing for smooth, distortion-free bass projection. This design ensures a clean and impactful experience in any demanding setting.

Applications
