V218 Line Array Subwoofer: Optimised Low-End Reinforcement
The Studiomaster V218 2x18" Passive line array subwoofer has been designed for those demanding extended low-frequency response in a professional setup. Built for touring, live events, and fixed installations, this unit becomes the backbone of any full line array system where clarity, headroom, and durability are critical.
Key Features and Benefits
Dual 18-inch Woofers
The heart of the V218 is its pair of high-excursion 18-inch drivers with 4-inch voice coils. This combination is engineered for accurate and far-reaching bass, supporting everything from punchy kick drums to deep sub-bass waves. Larger voice coils allow each driver to handle intense power loads without distortion or fatigue, even through lengthy performances.
Sturdy, Weather-Resistant Cabinet
Crafted from 18mm birch plywood, the enclosure is finished with a rugged, water-based resin. Outdoor festival organisers and touring engineers can trust the V218 to handle unpredictable weather, accidental knocks, and demanding schedules.
High Output Capability
With a 2000W RMS rating and a breath-taking 138dB maximum SPL, this line array subwoofer is a match for large audiences and expansive spaces. The sheer volume and clarity make it well-suited to line arrays where the sub needs to pair with powerful mid/high modules without straining.
Connectivity and Integration
The protected NL4 connectors ensure secure, fast cabling. Integrators building complex line array systems gain peace of mind from durable connections that withstand frequent setup and teardown.
Stackable Design
Integrated handles and a grooved top make setup effortless, even for teams with limited stage space or tight changeover times. Transitional stacking and alignment become straightforward, helping maintain optimal phase alignment across the full array.
Applications
Designed primarily for ground stacking with the Studiomaster V10 series, the V218 shines at outdoor festivals, stadium concerts, and large indoor venues where bass extension and projection are essential. Live sound engineers tasked with delivering chest-thumping sub-bass to crowds will find the V218’s frequency response (32Hz – 200Hz) covers the full spectrum of modern musical genres.
Beyond music performance, the V218 is suited for theatres, arenas, and contemporary houses of worship requiring robust low-frequency support in their fixed line array system installations. Its reliable build and weatherproof finish make it a dependable choice for rental firms, AV contractors, and production companies seeking long-term value.
Summary
With its dual 18-inch design, impressive 2000W RMS output, and reliable construction, the Studiomaster V218 Passive line array subwoofer addresses the demanding requirements of modern live production. Key highlights of a 4-ohm impedance, protected connectors, and a stacking-friendly footprint allow it to integrate easily into large-format line array systems. If you need tight, resonant bass for your next event, this solution covers all the technical bases without compromise.
