A great subwoofer won’t just thunder bass at you. It’ll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up Studio engineers require powerful, precise bass just as much as home users, which is why we’ve developed two compact subwoofers – the 9S and 18S – specifically for professional use. The 300W 9S is engineered to withstand the demands of high-volume-level listening, but still retain all the precision and musicality you need for even the most demanding projects. It uses studio-quality components and construction, along with a double front baffle and brand-new 24cm driver. And not only does it dig right down to 18Hz, its adjustable low-pass corner frequencies (from 50–150Hz) and low-power LFE output mean it’s versatile enough to work in a variety of studio environments. It even has signal-sensing auto power on/off technology to save energy when it’s sitting idle. The 18S uses smart, menu-driven DSP technology to tailor its roll-off to a variety of speakers from our range of professional monitors. As with the two home subs, our engineers modelled the acoustic characteristics of our pro family and created custom subwoofer-specific performance maps for each. And the intelligence doesn’t end there: set the distance from the 18S to the speakers and it does the maths for you, setting its own time delay. Finally, the full three-filter parametric EQ lets you defeat room modes with ease. The 18S’s punch is delivered by two of our brand-new innovative MSP+ Hybrid Drive units, and a high-quality 500W amp. ■ Issue 02 73
