Key Features and Benefits

18-inch Woofer with Class-D Amplifier

The large cone and powerful amp produce up to 128dB SPL, suitable for spaces where every beat needs presence. The class-D amplifier design keeps the unit efficient and reduces unwanted heat, enabling extended use without worry.

Flexible Output Options

Equipped with two pairs of balanced XLR outputs, one providing a full-range signal, perfect for linking with more PA subwoofers, while the high-pass output sends only mids and highs to satellite speakers. This allows clean system integration and avoids unnecessary low-end clutter in your tops.

Adjustable Crossover and Phase Switch

Adjust crossover frequencies from 80Hz to 150Hz to match different setups. The phase switch addresses sub alignment in complex configurations, reducing cancellation and ensuring bass clarity in your active PA subwoofer system.

Versatile Connectivity

Balanced XLR, RCA, and 6.3mm jack inputs offer straightforward links to mixers, DJ gear, or laptops, covering almost all event requirements. This gives flexibility, whether for fixed installs or mobile rigs.

Built for Frequent Use

This active sub features a plywood chassis with extra-hard coating resists dings and knocks during transport. Side handles make it simple to move, and the 35mm top hat lets you pole-mount satellite speakers directly above your sub.

Applications

The PDY218SA active PA subwoofer is at home wherever high-impact low frequencies matter. Live bands will appreciate the tight bass support beneath guitars and vocals, bringing presence to drum kits and electronic elements. DJs needing consistent thump across dancefloors get simple integration and reliable output, even in larger rooms or marquees.

Event organisers can incorporate this active PA subwoofer into multi-speaker PA setups for conferences, club nights, or public events. With its range of inputs and outputs, it's equally effective for permanent installs in clubs or theatres and for mobile professionals who set up in different spaces each week. The high SPL and wide frequency response (30Hz-250Hz) ensure the bass never feels lacking, regardless of style or source material.

Summary

The Power Dynamics PDY218SA 18-inch active PA subwoofer is engineered for demanding real-world use. The 3-inch voice coil and ferrite magnet combine for efficient low-end reproduction, backed by a digital signal limiter and power-on delay for system protection. Whether in a fixed install or on the road, the PDY218SA's is a great addition for anyone needing serious bass coverage.
